Anarchism isn’t chaos. It’s the radical idea that no one (no king, no president, no cop, no CEO, no priest) gets to own another human being.

That’s it. Everything else is just details.
1. No rulers, not no rules Anarchy doesn’t mean no agreements; it means agreements are voluntary. You and I decide together how we live, work, fuck, share, fight, heal. If someone breaks the deal, we handle it horizontally (no cages, no badges, just consequences we all understand).
2. Hierarchy is the original sin Every empire, every corporation, every abusive boyfriend, every cop kneeling on a neck starts with the same lie: “someone has to be on top.” Anarchists say bullshit. Power corrupts. Always. The only way to stop it is to stop building pyramids in the first place.
3. Mutual aid is older than capitalism Before landlords, before cops, before nations, people fed each other, raised each other’s kids, defended each other’s villages. Capitalism didn’t invent cooperation; it just monetized it and called it charity when the cameras showed up.
4. Property is theft (and theft is property) Land you never walk on, a house you never sleep in, a patent on a seed (those aren’t “yours.”) They’re only yours because men with guns said so. Anarchists want the earth back in common hands and the guns melted down into garden tools.
5. The State is a gang with better branding It has a flag, an anthem, and a monopoly on violence. Change the uniforms and it’s just the biggest mafia on the block. Anarchists refuse to pay protection money (taxes) to people who will cage or kill them for smoking a plant or loving the “wrong” person.
6. Freedom isn’t free; it’s DIY You want healthcare? Build clinics with your neighbors. You want safety? Arm your community and train together. You want food? Rip up the golf courses and plant potatoes. Nobody’s coming to save you. That’s the point. You save each other.
7. Prefigurative politics Don’t wait for the revolution to start living like the rulers are already dead. Share. Fight. Fuck. Feed. Heal. Love out loud. Be the proof that we don’t need masters.
Anarchism isn’t a destination; it’s a direction. A refusal to kneel. A promise to burn every cage and plant flowers in the ashes.
So light the match. Tear down the flag. Kiss your comrade like tomorrow might not come (because under this system it might not).
The State has borders. Love doesn’t.
Welcome to Anarchy 101. Class is always in session.
