Welcome to r/Anarchy101!

Anarchy101 is for any questions about:

the theory and history of anarchism
current events in their relation to anarchist theory and practice
socialist or communist theory in its relation to anarchist ideas.

No question is too basic (or advanced!) to ask, so don't be shy :)

Guidelines

Read the Anarchism in a nutshell page of the wiki.

Please do not debate, or post in an antagonistic manner. r/Anarchy101 is only intended for educational discussion, not to "disprove" anarchism - consider r/DebateAnarchism if you are interested in debate.

Feel free to assign yourself a descriptive user flair, but please do not allow our flair experiment to become an excuse for sectarian conflict. Embrace a bit of the spirit of anarchism without adjectives while you are here.

Additionally, a foundational premise of the sub is that all anarchists are anti-capitalism and anti-state. This is not up for debate.

Please do not discuss events from other subreddits. This is not a brigade, drama, or SRS-style sub. Posts and comments about other subreddits will be removed.

Please use the report button if you see any antagonistic, rude, oppressive or clearly incorrect comments.

Do NOT downvote or criticise what you consider to be a simple or "stupid" question. This is a place for learning and education, everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt.

For the general anarchism subreddit, check out r/Anarchism. To learn about other communist philosophies, try r/Communism101.

Review the Anti-Oppression Policy to see how you can help make space for marginalized people.
