Compare and contrast anarchy with democracy?

Answer 1

There is no difference. Anarchy means that there is no government. Any for of that word is still going to mean the same thing it just might be worded differently. Such as Anarchist. This is someone that is against the government. It pretty much means the same thing. Just worded differently.

Answer

There is a difference:

* Anarchy ("without ruler") is a state of affairs: If there is no police, boss, government or other authority, just each man and woman for him/herself, you have anarchy.

* Anarchism is the ideology or political philosophy saying that government etc. is unnecessary (or even harmful) and that anarchy is better.

You can have one without the other. Anarchy without anarchism could for example be a temporary breakdown of normal Law and Order after a natural disaster or at the boundaries of a war zone.

Answer 2

Anarchy is when there is no government (no one is in charge).

Dictatorship is when there is a government and one person is in charge so that what that person wants becomes law without further discussion.

Answer 3

Anarchy is based on the idea of absense of government wheras democracy is a government ruled by the people
