AnarchoExistentialist

Anarcho-existentialism is a philosophical and political stance that merges the core tenets of anarchism with existentialist thought. Anarchism, in this context, emphasizes the rejection of all forms of hierarchical rule and involuntary authority, advocating for a society based on voluntary association and mutual aid. Existentialism, on the other hand, focuses on individual freedom, responsibility, and the subjective experience of existence in a universe devoid of inherent meaning or purpose.

Anarcho-existentialists believe that individuals are radically free and responsible for creating their own values and meaning in a world without preordained truths or divine guidance. This freedom, however, can be a source of anxiety and dread, a concept central to existentialism. They argue that societal structures, particularly those that impose authority and conformity, stifle this fundamental freedom and prevent individuals from authentic self-creation.

From an anarcho-existentialist perspective, the anarchist struggle is not just about dismantling external power structures, but also about liberating the individual from internal constraints and societal conditioning that limit their freedom. They see the rejection of authority as a necessary step towards achieving genuine autonomy and living an authentic life. The emphasis is on personal responsibility for one's choices and actions, even in the absence of external moral frameworks. This philosophy often champions individual action and self-reliance as key components of both personal liberation and societal transformation.
