An anarchist is someone who believes in a society without centralized government authority. Anarchism is a political philosophy that advocates for self-managed, stateless societies based on voluntary cooperation and mutual aid. Anarchists seek to abolish hierarchies, oppressive systems, and promote individual freedom.

Of course not. An anarchist is someone who believes in mutual respect in order to achieve a self-determinant and free society. Those who think anarchism is bad are often confused with the mess up the media does by calling "anarchy", "chaos". Remember, the anarchist symbol is an "a" inside an "o", wich means "anarchism brings order".

Emma Goldman was an outspoken anarchist and one of the first to focus on the link between feminism and anarchism. She wrote texts and actively pushed for a more anarchic society, promoting strikes and sabotage as a means to change society.
Anarchism as a political philosophy emerged in the 19th century, with key figures like Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, who is often credited as the first self-identified anarchist. Proudhon's 1840 work, "What Is Property?", famously declared that "property is theft," laying the groundwork for later anarchist thought. Other influential early anarchists include Mikhail Bakunin and Emma Goldman, who further developed and propagated anarchist ideas. While there isn't a single "founder," these figures significantly shaped the movement.
"Manarch" is a portmanteau of "man" and "anarchist" which refers to a man who espouses anarchist beliefs but behaves in a patriarchal or oppressive manner, contradicting the principles of equality and liberation that anarchism advocates for.
