Anarchism is the belief that people can organize themselves without having someone from up above tell them what to do. Anarchists believe that it is better for everyone to have a direct say in how things should be done, instead of having leaders or bosses make decisions for them. Anarchists also believe that participation should never be forced by other people.
It is a political philosophy or group of philosophies and attitudes which reject any form of authoritarian relationships, like hierarchical institutions and compulsory government and support their elimination, often because of a wider rejection of involuntary and permanent authority.
Anarchism is "a cluster of doctrines and attitudes centered on the belief that government is both harmful and unnecessary."
The term "anarchism" derives from the Greek αναρχία ("without archons," "without rulers" and a lot of times translated as "without bosses"). Its proponents argue for individual liberty and equality of rights and power though various alternatives that could include voluntary cooperation, free association, direct democracy and self-management.
Philosophy and social movement.
It is a philosophy and the goal of some social groups. There is anarchy in a country when there are no government and hierarchical institutions. In general, anarchy means that no person needs to do what any other person says. The word used to describe people telling other people what to do is "authority". Anarchists want to get rid of authority.
