Is anarchy against Jesus Christ?

yes! Because Anarchy means total chaos and God represents peace and stability. I hope that answers your question. Not necessarily. Anarchy comes from Greek and means "no rulers". It refers to a society without hierarchy, not chaos. Depending on your religion and your interpretation of it anarchy can be good or bad. Leo Tolstoy was a famous Christian anarchist.' No, anarchy is what he said ^^^ means no rulers. Which in turn means government. But there are different types of anarchy. Some do not have different names most are just categorized under Anarchy. There are Green Anarchists which means, to not have any rulers and live off the land and do without technology, putting us back into hunter-gatherer days. =). Some anarchist believe in the rule No Gods, No masters. Key part of that sentence being No Gods. But most do not believe in a god because it is still the idea of having a master. But long story short anarchy means against government and atheism is to not believe in god. Answer Anarchy actually refers to a deliberate resistance to order and not an embracement of chaos. Further, the first answer does not elucidate which God is in question. God represents both order, freedom, oppression, revenge, love, hate and many other contradictory characteristics. The typical Christian God, once stripped of middle-class characteristics such as gender and a big white beard, is a contradiction in terms and his characteristics have been ascribed by men over many different generations and political periods. This is not to say that God does not exist, just to say that the biblical representation of him is so erroneous and contradictory and politically slanted and drawn from more than one religion (Christianity AND Judaism) that one might successfully argue that God IS anarchy.

What is an individualist anarchy?

There is no one definition for rights but a good way to think of it is the right to exist and take care of your needs without infringing on the rights of others.

Anarchists essentially believe that a human being has the right to do anything that he or she pleases, so long as it does not infringe on the rights, freedoms, or possessions of anybody else (a man's life and health are his possessions).

What is the best description of an anarchy?

Asked by Wiki User

Anarchy simply means without ruler. It is a form of government without official rules and formal punishments for breaking them. It is a political theory with many schools of thought, ranging from Communist Anarchy, to fully Capitalist Anarchy, to Primitive Anarchy and everywhere in between.

Actually, anarchy (in terms of political science) means a complete lack of formal government. There may be a de facto form of governance occurring, but there is no actual legalgovernment framework. Thus, there are no laws of any sort, and all governance is informal, generally in the form of either complete consensus (as in either a communal or direct democracy style) or authoritarian (via a single or group strongman concept).

What does an upside down anarchy sign mean?

The Circle-A is almost certainly the best-known present-day symbol for anarchy. It is a monogram that consists of the capital letter "A" surrounded by the capital letter "O". The letter "A" is derived from the first letter of "anarchy" or "anarchism" in most European languages and is the same in both Latin and Cyrillic scripts. The "O" stands for order. Together they stand for "Anarchy is Order," the first part of a Proudhon quote.

The "A" does not stand for anarchy. It stands for Autonomous - self-governance, not subject to control from the outside. The A/O, then, stands for Autonomous Order, which is Anarchism.

The purpose of anarchy is to be able to liberate yourself and decide what is right and wrong for yourself instead of listening to the rules the government lays down for everybody. Basically its making your life fit you ,not everybody else.

What is anarchy?

Asked by Wiki User

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.

Is anyone in control when there is an anarchy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Anarchy is a state of lawlessness and disorder, this usually occurs when a government fails the people. Usually the Government still remains in control as best it can by whatever means it has at its disposal. If the government steps downs then a person or persons chosen by the people will form an interim Government until order can be restored and a duly elected government can be called to replace the disgraced one.

Compare and contrast anarchy with democracy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

What problems if any might arise from anarchy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

anarchy is bad because without government we would have pretty much nothing, no services to our country, state or our community. anyone could do anything and get away with it because we wouldn't have laws!!

More specifically, a state of Anarchy is defined as one without any government. Citizens may band together for various purposes, but there is no common government (and, thus, no law).

Given the rather self-centered and greedy natural character of human beings (particularly in large concentrations), any situation without some sort of overall control or law quickly degenerates into violence. Human beings have proven themselves to be unable to live together without some sort of master authority (with enforcement powers). No human society lives in anarchy - even the smallest and most primitive tribes have some sort of authority structure, which is government by another name.

As to why Anarchy is bad, ask yourself this: if you could do whatever you wanted to, with no consequences to you from a "higher" authority (e.g. you could hit someone, and while they might hit you back, no police officer would intervene, and no one would be charged with a crime), what would you do? Now, how would the world be if everyone could do whatever they wanted to anytime?

That's why anarchy is bad.

What do you call anarchy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, but this is a brain teaser. Anarchy is the "absence of government" or absence of laws. So the existence of anarchy would make anything legal, including itself. Most Western countries allow the expression of anarchist philosophy under the right to freedom of speech. However, most prohibit attempting to disrupt or obstruct the operations of their governments. Inciting others to physically oppose lawful actions of any government is also a crime.

Anarchy is chaos and no country is ruled by chaos. It's an oxymoron.

More generally, however, nations have fallen into states of anarchy - ex. Somalia in the past decade, Libya when the government broke down.

A state without control: An absence of leadership. Chaos.

In places that no one knows!

CORRECTION:

The above is the common stereotype. Being an anarchist myself, I can tell you that most of us are against chaos. We're actually anti-hierarchy, that is, we don't like being under a ruler or authority, however "elected by the people" they may be. A common thing said is that "authority puts up stoplights". Anarchists just believe that anyone should be able to put them up. The stereotype was made by punk rock bands, who said "no government=chaos=AWESOME". I hate those people.
