Most people have probably only heard the word anarchy used as a replacement for chaos or violence. The corporate media loves to tell people this, partly because they're ignorant pricks, but mostly because they can't  even begin imagine a world where they're not controlling us and telling what to do and how to live. The real meaning of anarchy, to them  does not exist,because they can't imagine a world where we control ourselves, make our own decisions, and live as we choose.

An anarchist world is a world based on equality, cooperation, direct democracy, autonomy, and of course dancin'! An anarchist world is a world without prisons, without governments, without authorities, without war, without borders, without rich or poor.  Or whit out masters or slaves.

Our vision might seem Utopian at first, even impossible, but that's only because you're comparing it to the ragged landscape you're living in that dominates everything in sight, even visions of a better life. In fact anarchist societies have always existed in all different types of conditions and times. Humans have spent the majority of our time as a species living in anarchist communities as hunter-gatherers, and since then the anarchist spirit has reasserted itself continuously from Anabaptist Christians in Europe to the Spanish Revolution of the 1930's.

Anarchist theories aren't dogmatic and idealogical, there are tons of different types of anarchists from insurrectionists to Green-anarchists to Christian-anarchists to whatever else. It's not an idealogy telling everyone to be the same but instead an ethical guide for getting free without fucking other people over in the process. Start investigating anarchist stuff from your library or the internet, make up your own mind. Then start to put the ideals into action, then maybe even into reality.
