Talk:Autarchism

message: === Why the anarchism template is appropriate in this article ===
Although autarists don't always call themselves "anarchists," they do advocate statelessness insofar as we define a state as an entity external from the self and ruling over others.  Like other forms of anarchism (e.g. anarcho-capitalism), autarchism believes in doing away with all coercive hierachies.
=== Why the libertarian template is appropraite in this article ===
Modern libertarianism has been influenced by autarchists like Robert LeFevre.  As libertarianism is a big-tent philosophy that accepts both minarchism and anarchism, it is of little doubt that autarchism also falls under this tent.  Indeed, despite his oddities, LeFevre was a libertarian.
=== Conclusion ===
It seems to me that both templates are valid for inclusion in this article.  If you disagree, I'll be happy to listen to your arguments.

thread_title:  Conclusion 

message: Wouldn't it be more appropriate to call a government or state "coercive" instead of "cumpulsive"?
Isn't something compulsory necessarily coercive (even if you don't mind it, it isn't like you had a choice anyways)? Isn't something coercive necessarily compulsory (as opposed to voluntary)? I fail to see the distinction...although the word "compulsive" does evoke images of Obsessive/Compulsive Disorder. Perhaps "compulsory" or some other form of the word would be better than "compulsive".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.73.64.151 (talk) 22:04, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Compulsion or Coercion 

message: Is there a widely accepted stance on how Autarchism relates to the label 'Rational Anarchy'? The Rational Anarchy page has been changed to a redirect, but I wonder if it would be appropriate to redirect it here instead. Does anyone know? I will try to find a good source and definition of 'rational anarchy', but this page has an example that sounds close to Autarchism: "The rational anarchist has a strict moral code that he will not break. At the same time, the rational anarchist accepts that those around him may require those rules". That sounds a lot like rejecting compulsory government and upholding individual liberty. --Culix (talk) 06:20, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Rational Anarchy is something Heinlein came up with himself, whereas autarchism was a creation of LeFevre. While it is plausible that they had a shared intellectual background, to say that the two philosophies are in some sense equivalent is speculative. For Wikipedia's purpose, any association between autarchism and RA is purely original research, so nothing should be touched unless a reliable source confirms the association.

Yeahmetoo.  I don't "get it".  I'd like to see a better explanation of what the difference is supposed to be. Lousyd (talk) 13:47, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: According to dictionary.com, "autarchy" means: 
:1. absolute sovereignty.
:2. an autocratic government.
:3. autarky.
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines it as:
:1. autarky
:2. absolute sovereignty: autocracy
The Oxford Living English Dictionary (a British English source) likewise defines "autarchy" as:
:1. another term for autocracy
:2. variant spelling of autarky
Based on these sources, it seems to me that autarchy should redirect to autocracy instead. --JHP (talk) 10:00, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  Problem solved. I replaced the redirect with a disambiguation page. --JHP (talk) 10:29, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: The issue is that autarchy literally means self-rule, and it thus has two meanings in one spelling, one self ruling over others and the very different definition of every self ruling over itself. It's a bit unfortunate that this ambiguity occurred, given there are so many synyonyms for absolutism, yet no other way to say individual self government.
