QuestionAnswer
What are Anarcho-communists views on human nature? Humans are fundamentally social beings Conflict and selfishness are seen as products of capitalism and hierarchy, not innate traits. When freed from domination, people naturally organise around solidarity, empathy, and shared responsibility.
What are Anarcho-syndicalists views on human nature? Human nature is shaped by labour and collective struggle. People become empowered and socially conscious through participation in democratic workplaces. Solidarity emerges from shared economic interests and the experience of organising together.
What are Egoists views on human nature? Max Stirner’s egoism sees human nature as entirely individualistic People act from self‑interest alone, and concepts like morality or duty are 'spooks', illusions that restrict personal autonomy. Cooperation happens only when mutually beneficial
What are Anarcho-capitalists views on human nature? Voluntary exchange is seen as the natural expression of human interaction. Competition is not viewed as harmful but as a mechanism that aligns individual incentives and produces social order
What are Anarcho-communists views on the state? The state is inherently oppressive because it centralises power, enforces inequality, and protects private property. It must be dismantled entirely and replaced with federated communes. Any form of government (even democratic) is seen as coercive
What are Anarcho-syndicalists views on the state The state is a tool of capitalist domination. It is abolished through a general strike and revolutionary union action After the revolution, its functions are taken over by federations of worker unions, not by a central authority
What are Egoists views on the state The state is an artificial construct that limits individual autonomy. Any collective authority is illegitimate unless voluntarily entered into for personal benefit
What are Anarcho-capitalists views on the state The state is unnecessary and harmful Law, security, and arbitration should be provided by competing private agencies. Order emerges from market mechanisms and voluntary contracts rather than political authority.
What are Anarcho-communists views on society Society is organised into voluntary communes linked by federations Decisions are made through direct democracy and consensus. Social life emphasises equality, shared responsibility, and collective well‑being.
What are Anarcho-syndicalists views on society Society is built around syndicates (unions) representing different industries. These syndicates coordinate production, distribution, and social services. Community life is shaped by worker participation and democratic control over workplaces
What are Egoists views on society Society is not a fixed structure but a shifting network of voluntary associations formed for mutual benefit. These associations dissolve when they no longer serve the individuals involved
What are Anarcho-capitalists views on society Social order is based on voluntary contracts between individuals and private organisations Communities may form around shared rules, but membership is voluntary and enforced through private arbitration.
What are Anarcho-communists views on the economy Production is organised collectively, and goods are distributed according to need. Wage labour, markets, and private property are abolished. The economy is decentralised and cooperative, not competitive.
What are Anarcho-syndicalists views on the economy Industries are controlled by workers through democratic unions Wage labour and capitalist ownership are abolished, but production remains organised around workplaces rather than communes. Distribution is coordinated by federations of syndicates
What are Egoists views on the economy Egoists reject fixed property rights Individuals possess what they can use and defend Economic relations are based on voluntary exchange but without moral or legal claims to permanent ownership.
What are Anarcho-capitalists views on the economy Private property, competition, and profit are central. All services, including policing and courts are privatised. Markets regulate production and distribution Wage labour is accepted as voluntary contract
