Anarchism (individualist), as stated, 19th-20th c.
19th Century · stated scope
Individualist anarchism is a strand of anarchist thought that places the sovereignty of the individual above collective or organizational structures, rejecting the state, capitalism in many formulations, and compulsory associations of any kind. It developed primarily in 19th-century North America and Europe, with notable centers of activity in the United States. It is principally associated with thinkers such as Lysander Spooner, Benjamin Tucker, and Josiah Warren, and with concepts including mutualism, free contract, and self-ownership.
