We believe all people should be as free as possible to determine their own destinies and activities within the limits required by a respect for the equal rights of others. This freedom should actual and practical, unhindered by unnecessary legal prohibitions or material constraints. Anarchists are opposed to authority and hierarchy. All persons must be considered as equals. No-one has the right to coerce or expect obedience from others except where necessary to protect the equal rights of others.
Anarchists are opposed to patriarchy.
As a coercive set of social relations based on gender hierarchy, patriarchy oppresses and silences women in ways that we are as yet not even fully conscious. Patriarchal structures must be destroyed wherever they are recognised. Anarchists are not opposed to organisation. Anarchy is about organisation. It is about co-operation amongst equals, free of oppressive power relations.
