Anarchism

Anarchism is a growing movement in the abolition of all forms of hierarchy, the state and centralized government, and instead society is reformed around a cooperative, voluntary basis. Since the 1910s the movement has been recovering among socialist spaces and circles around the world.

Although anarchism was a widespread global movement it wouldn’t see anything revolutionary in its history until the end of the Great War and the downfall of the Weimar Republic. As influence of German socialism spread far and wide, so did anarchism. Although it’s attempts at garnering support from the wider population was met with suppression by communists, syndicalists aligned themselves with anarchists of the country and as a result anarchists played an important role in changing the German working class against the Republican government in Berlin. 
Various militias formed during the civil war, aiding the syndicalist cause in any way they could because they knew that syndicalism could help further the cause of anarchism. By the time the civil war ended anarchists celebrated this victory alongside other socialists, and their bid to trust the syndicalists paid off. After order, government and power were re-established and re-aligned with revolutionary syndicalism, Germany became a loose federation of various states, provinces and communes. Working with various Anarchist organizations and people, the TUC voted on the issue in 1922 and the majority of people within the Congress voted in favor of working with anarchism. They would give more autonomy to various communes, provinces and regions as with their statement that establishing Anarchist societies, groups of people etc. was not against the law as long as “Each society adheres to loyalty to the people and syndicalism”.
