Social Anarchism (classical), as stated, 1860-1920
19th Century · stated scope
Social anarchism is a political ideology holding that the state and capitalism should be abolished and replaced by voluntary, non-hierarchical forms of collective organization. It developed primarily in Western Europe between roughly 1860 and 1920, drawing on the writings of thinkers such as Mikhail Bakunin and Peter Kropotkin and finding organizational expression in trade unions, mutual aid societies, and revolutionary federations. It is principally associated with the rejection of both state authority and private property in favor of cooperative, decentralized social arrangements.
