Anarkistien

Anarkistien is a term used in some Nordic languages to refer to anarchists or to groups and publications that identify with anarchist principles. The exact meaning depends on context, and there is no single organization universally known by this name. In everyday language, Anarkistien may function as the definite form of "anarkist," referring to anarchists as a group. In media and on the web, it has been used as the title of local collectives, pamphlets, and forums that advocate anti-authoritarian and anti-capitalist positions. Because it is not a fixed entity, references to Anarkistien vary by country and era.

Anarchism, the broader ideology associated with the term, supports stateless or non-hierarchical social arrangements, voluntary association, mutual aid, and opposition to coercive forms of authority. Within this spectrum, adherents differ on strategies and tactics, ranging from nonviolent civil disobedience and community organizing to more confrontational direct actions. Common organizational features include decentralization, horizontal decision-making, and autonomy of local groups.

Historically, anarchist ideas emerged in the 19th century and influenced labor movements, socialist currents, and various social movements worldwide. In modern usage, references to Anarkistien are typically localized and contextual, reflecting the specific concerns of the communities that adopt the label.
