[edit] Merger Proposal
Not much here yet. Libertatia proposed merging the History of anarchism and Origins of anarchism articles, adding relevent information from the more-heavily-researched Anarchism article. I will examine all three articles this evening. Jacob Haller 23:13, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
I think we will need the following subsections: 66.44.54.88 00:33, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
(1) one covering the precursors to anarchism (up through Godwin). 66.44.54.88 00:33, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
(2) one covering the early development of classical anarchism (Warren, Proudhon & Stirner). 66.44.54.88 00:33, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
(3) one covering the emergence of the major traditions. Although later mutualism and collectivism are both closely tied to earlier mutualism, aligning Tucker with Spooner and Bakunin with various communists makes good sense for that time. (However syndicalist-agorist ties screw with any two-way split for our time). 66.44.54.88 00:33, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
(4) one covering anarchist participation in workers' struggles. Subsections could cover the first international, syndicalism, the Mexican revolution, the Russian revolution, and the Spanish Civil War. 66.44.54.88 00:33, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
(5) one covering anarchism and its relationship with state-socialism, as well as autonomous Marxism, council communism, situationism, etc. (anarchism and other socialist traditions). 66.44.54.88 00:33, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
(6) one covering anarchism and its relationship with geoism, distributivism, and radical liberalism, as well as agorism and [so-called] anarcho-capitalism. (anarchism and other libertarian traditions). 66.44.54.88 00:33, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
(7) various recent phenomena. 66.44.54.88 00:33, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
I still agree with Libertatia's merger proposal. I also suggest porting the origins and schools sections from Anarchism and reorganizing the history article around these. Jacob Haller 03:20, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Christiana
I visited the place recently. In fact they have very strict rules about no hard drugs and no motorcycle club colours. I don't want to start a discussion about whether they are really anarchist if they have what amount to laws, but the reference to herbs used for medicinal and recreational purposes - which fall outside the tobacco and alcohol monopolies exploited by the state and their business allies - seems particularly incoherent, unless the piece was included to show how anarchism is compatabile with the market.Harrypotter 21:40, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Unsourced
<"there is a lot of unsourced material in this article, especially in the part about the CNT.">
I'm a little new at this and will make mistakes in protocol and format, so please bear with me.
I think there are more problems than lack of sourcing. I ran into a big objection in the first couple of sentences. In Attic Greek, arXe is never translated as "sovereignty." It is almost always given as "rule" though it can sometimes be rendered as "order" in the sense of an ordered or structured society, and in some cases as "command." But it is commonly taken as roughly synonymous with "state" (government) as seen by its citizens (i.e., a subordinate member of the hierarchy). Considering the importance of the term "sovereignty" in anarchist thought, this really needs to be rendered differently.
