Anarchism is a political philosophy that advocates the elimination of all forms of authority and hierarchy, whether the state, religious institutions, corporations, or any centralized power structure. Anarchists advocate self-management, mutual aid, and individual freedom in an egalitarian society without domination. The idea is that, without imposed authority, individuals could organize themselves autonomously and cooperatively, respecting the needs and freedoms of each individual. Anarchism thus opposes oppressive forms of power and aims to build a society based on horizontal relationships and collective responsibility.
