The latter term has been introduced by social movements trying to feminize the concept, and thereby give visibility to a specifically feminist strand within the anarchist theory and practice.

The influence of the Catalan revolution continues to exert on self-sufficiency initiatives in Spain and the current Kurdish revolution in Syria. Not only that, but the pacing of the film inspirationally connects anarchist theory to practice. Of course, a documentary that's 90 minutes long won't be able to explore the ...
There are also all-female units, like the Women's Protection Units, which have made considerable inroads among the Syrian Kurds, who in turn have adopted parts of the communist and anarchist theory that women have a role in the battles in Syria and Iraq against the Islamic State.

Charley's previous anti-war work, class consciousness, interest in feminism, and knowledge of anarchist theory propelled him into the movement.

The last year of protests since Donald Trump's election has been a healthy response to a very unhealthy political situation. The U.S. Constitution's First Amendment guarantees "the right of the people to ... petition the government for a redress of grievances." There is a lot to grieve today. The many people ...
While I do not speak on behalf of anarchists, for over 20 years I have been part of the Institute for Anarchist Studies, a grant-giving, educational, 501(c)3 non-profit organization and for the last nine years have been part of its journal collective, Perspectives on Anarchist Theory. Paul Messersmith-Glavin ...

When white supremacist Richard Spencer got sucker-punched on video at the inauguration, many in the blossoming anarchist Twittersphere became armchair Nazi-punchers.

In most anarchist circles it's commonly acknowledged that North American anarchist ideas are underdeveloped. The good news is that things are looking up.

The series is the only one dedicated to contemporary writing on anarchist theory and practice. Dr Prichard gained his PhD from Loughborough University in 2008 for his thesis on the international political theory of Pierre-Joseph Proudhon.

In fact, Godwin developed his anarchist theory half a century earlier – without ever using the term. His writings are a profound critique of the state and its structural violence, arguing that the state and its government has a bad influence on society in that it produces unwanted dependency. He has also ...
I begin to understand the idea better– it's an anarchist theory of organisation starting with insects and animals and proceeding to humans. He is suggesting that, instead of being rule-following economic drones of capitalism, we are essentially playful. The most basic level of being is play rather than ...
This is about people taking anarchist theory and practice seriously as a way of organising society. To understand why, and indeed how, this is happening, it's important to have a look at how management studies has changed over the last two decades.

But anarchists have a more instrumental reason to oppose the use of violence. Terrorism has been very effective in establishing new and more oppressive regimes; but it is nearly impossible to find any instance where terrorism led to greater freedom.

And when terrorism succeeds in destroying an existing government, it merely creates a power vacuum without fundamentally changing anyone's mind about the nature of power. The predictable result is that a new state, worse than its predecessor, will swiftly appear to fill the void. Thus, the importance of using nonviolent tactics to advance anarchist ideas is hard to overstate.
