Anarchism

**Anarchism** is a political philosophy that aims to run society without rulers or the concept of domination. There are numerous types of anarchism, debates within anarchism and examples of anarchism throughout history.

## Types of anarchism

* Anarcha-feminism
* Anarcho-syndicalism

## Debates within anarchism

### Democracy

There is significant debate among anarchists about if anarchism is a more strong form of democracy and if the concept of majority votes are compatible with anarchism.

### Violence

There is significant debate among anarchists about when and if violent acts are compatible with anarchism.

### Alleged "North Atlantic" bias in anarchist histories and research

Anarchist historian and researcher Lucien van der Walt has argued that anarchist historians have paid disproportionate levels of attention and study to the anarchist movements of places in the North Atlantic region such as the USA, Britain, Spain, France, Italy, Russia and Germany. This is done while neglecting the rich history of anarchism and syndicalism in places like Argentina, Chile, Cuba, Peru, Paraguay, Mexico, Egypt, China, Korea, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and Ukraine. Other evidence indicates the large anarchist movements were also present in Bulgaria, Poland, the Ottoma Empire, Algeria and Vietnam which are often not paid attention to by mainstream historians of anarchism.
