anarchosocialist

Anarchosocialism is a political philosophy that combines anarchism and socialism. Anarchists generally oppose all forms of coercive authority, including the state, capitalism, and hierarchical social structures. Socialists advocate for social ownership and democratic control of the means of production.

Anarchosocialists believe that a stateless, classless society can be achieved through the abolition of both the state and private ownership of the means of production. They envision a society organized around voluntary associations, worker cooperatives, and decentralized, self-governing communities. Decisions would be made through direct democracy or consensus.

Key tenets of anarchosocialism include mutual aid, voluntary association, and the rejection of all forms of exploitation and domination. They often draw inspiration from historical anarchist movements and thinkers who advocated for communal living and workers' self-management. While differing in specific strategies, anarchosocialists generally believe that social revolution or the gradual development of alternative institutions can lead to a free and equitable society. There is a diversity of thought within anarchosocialism regarding the specific organizational forms such a society might take.
