• Delete. As far as I can tell this was just deleted, so presumably speedy as well. Christopher Parham (talk) 06:15, 2005 Jun 20 (UTC)
• Delete, we've already got Anarchism. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:38, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete POV fork. JamesBurns 10:17, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I've been generally opposed to all of these forked articles on anarchism, many of which have titles that make no sense -- ("Anarchism (anti-state)"? As opposed to "Anarchism (pro-state)"?) -- but, for a change, this one actually serves a logical purpose. It discusses anarchism as a specific social/political movement, which is the meaning of anarchism that is intended by the various leftist anarchists around here. This is distinct from anarchism as a generic term for a variety of anti-state philosophies, which may or may not be part of this movement. If this article is kept, then both this and the Anarchism (philosophy) article should be edited in accordance with this distinction so that they don't remain near-clones of one another; stick to description and history of the movement here, without so much philosophy, while removing movement-specific info from the other article and including more on non-movement anarchist philosophies. *Dan* 11:06, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)
