If my readers have not figured it out yet, I am a self-conscious anarchist. Since people who call themselves anarchists have different interpretations of what anarchism is, I will be blunt and tell you what I mean by anarchism. Anarchism strives to do everything through actual — rather than through delegated — agreements. This means that it is based on direct democracy; not on a representative democracy. These agreements start with a small community of people, of such a size that everyone can know everyone else. And the first thing that has to be agreed to is that anyone who wants to live independently of others may do so through receiving a free homestead adequate for subsistence. It would, of course, be wiser to pool resources together for mutual benefit.<\/p>\n
Now, given that the unit of government is a small face-to-face community which elects a council or councils for different functions, grouping of communities are organized through delegates to a higher level council of some workable size, and so on until the highest council is formed. This is bottom-up democracy; rather than a top-down democracy, which exists everywhere in democratic States, where thousands or millions vote for a political candidate.<\/p>\n
In order for people to learn and understand what anarchism is, I have tried to collect as much literature as I could find into one comprehensive bibliography, with links as I found them. Here is the link:<\/p>\n
