Revision as of 17:22, 7 December 2009

Socialist anarchism,[1][2][3][4] anarcho-socialism,[5] left-anarchism,[6] communitarian anarchism,[7] or social anarchism[8] (sometimes used interchangeably with libertarian socialism[1] or left-libertarianism[9] in its terminology) is an umbrella term used to differentiate two broad categories of anarchism, this one being the collectivist, with the other being individualist anarchism.[3][4] Where individualist forms of anarchism emphasize personal autonomy and the rational nature of human beings, socialist forms of anarchism sees "individual freedom as conceptually connected with social equality and emphasize community and mutual aid."[10] Unlike anarcho-capitalism, which stresses the importance of private property,[11] socialist anarchism rejects private property, seeing it as a source of social inequality,[12] and posits a future society in which private property does not exist and is replaced by reciprocity and egalitarian society.[13][14] Socialist anarchism is used to specifically describe tendencies within anarchism that have an emphasis on the communitarian and cooperative aspects of anarchist theory and practice, and aims for "free association of people living together and cooperating in free communities."[15] Socialist anarchism includes (but is not limited to) anarcho-collectivism, anarcho-communism, anarcho-syndicalism and social ecology.

The term "left-anarchism" or "left-wing anarchism" refers to forms of anarchism that are seen by some on the 'left of politics'. Left-wing anarchism is thus distinguished from free-market anarchism[16] or "right-wing" anarchism (such as that of Murray Rothbard).[17] Ulrike Heider,[I] who claims to be syndicalist, in Anarchism: Left, Right and Green categorizes anarchism into left anarchism, right anarchism (anarcho-capitalism), and green anarchism.[18]

In the United States, the term "social anarchism" is used by the circle involved in publishing the Social Anarchism journal and has been promoted by the late Murray Bookchin.[9] Bookchin identifies social anarchism with the "left," by which he refers to the "great tradition of human solidarity and a belief in the potentiality for humanness," internationalism and confederalism, the democratic spirit, anti-militarism, and rational secularism.

Notes

I.^ Heider's work has been strongly criticised by anarchist academics including Bryan Caplan and Murray Bookchin for the allegedly poor quality of its research and presentation.[19][20]
