Anarchy is a Greek word that means "no ruler" (archy=ruler, an=no). It is a state that exists in the absence of an organized government or authority. The term is often used to describe lawlessness due to natural disasters or political disruptions. Historically, the term anarchist has been applied to those who seek to destabilize existing governments for various reasons.

Anarchy as a philosophy is interpreted in various ways. Some include organized societies that do not exert authority over its members. However, an organization without leaders cannot be called an actual anarchy.
