| '''''Anarchism''''' is a generic term describing various political [[philosophies]] and social movements that advocate the elimination of all forms of imposed [[authority]], including [[social]] [[hierarchy]] and coercive [[power]]. In place of hierarchy, these movements favor relations based upon voluntary cooperation and mutual aid, leading to a society characterised by the ability of each actor to have a say in outcomes proportionate to the degree they are affected by them. These philosophies use anarchy to mean a society based on voluntary cooperation of free individuals. Philosophical anarchist thought does not advocate [[chaos]] or anomie — it refers to "anarchy" as a manner of human relations that is intentionally established and maintained. | '''''Anarchism''''' is a generic term describing various political [[philosophies]] and social movements that advocate the elimination of all forms of imposed [[authority]], including [[social]] [[hierarchy]] and coercive [[power]].
