An anarchist is a person who rejects of any form of compulsory government (cf. "state") and supports its elimination. Anarchism can be summarised as the belief that all forms of rulership are undesirable and should be abolished.

This is a list of individuals who have been identified as anarchists, by themselves, or by independent informed sources. This list only deals with real people notable for the reasons below.

Self-identified anarchists

edit

This section of the list includes only people who have explicitly stated that they are anarchists. Persons who have merely expressed viewpoints critical of the state or those with anti-authoritarian stances are excluded. Such sentiments are insufficient to identity one as an anarchist.

Former self-identified anarchists

edit

This section of the list includes people who have explicitly stated that they were anarchists for a time, but later abandoned it in favor of a different political and/or philosophical position.

People who have been considered anarchists

edit

This section of the list includes people who have not explicitly stated that they are anarchists, but have been considered anarchists by other sources. These people may not have identified as anarchists because they predated the term's popular usage, it was considered an epithet, they did not regard themselves as anarchists, they dislike specific ideological labels, or for a variety of other reasons. It is also possible that some of the listed individuals might have been anarchists, but a quote in which they self-identified as such was never recorded, and so only the commentary of third parties serves to identify them. The categorisation of many of these people as anarchists may be controversial.

We both believe that you must take personal responsibility for your actions and follow this wherever it leads you. We were both influenced by the Orwell of "Homage to Catalonia" and the collected essays. However the practical form of anarchism that I support, and which Geoff would reject as largely futile, is the anarchism that has always seen itself as the left-wing of the labour movement. This is the anarchism of Mikhail Bakunin's "libertarian socialism" of the Spanish anarcho-syndicalists who carried out successful workers' control in 1936-37. It identifies with the popular movements that struggled for self-management against the Bolshevik counter-revolution 1917-21, and workers' councils of the Hungarian revolution 1956. {{cite journal}}: Unknown parameter |month= ignored (help)

  173. ^ "My early work is politically anarchist fiction, in that I was an anarchist for a long period of time. I'm not an anarchist any longer, because I've concluded that anarchism is an impractical ideal. Nowadays, I regard myself as a libertarian. I suppose an anarchist would say, paraphrasing what Marx said about agnostics being "frightened atheists," that libertarians are simply frightened anarchists. Having just stated the case for the opposition, I will go along and agree with them: yes, I am frightened. I'm a libertarian because I don't trust the people as much as anarchists do. I want to see government limited as much as possible; I would like to see it reduced back to where it was in Jefferson's time, or even smaller. But I would not like to see it abolished. I think the average American, if left totally free, would act exactly like Idi Amin. I don't trust the people any more than I trust the government."
