Peter Kropotkin has amassed the infinarchy gems and is ready to conquer some bread.

Anarchy exists in many different forms, these are but a few and each seeks to approach different topics from different lenses. These schools of of anarchism are not mutually exclusive and understanding them helps to develop a stronger foundation in the fight for liberation.

From left to right…

Queer Anarchism: Be Gay, Do Crime. This framework views the state and traditional social hierarchies as the root of LGBTQ+ oppression. It argues that true liberation from homophobia, transphobia, and the gender binary cannot happen within existing legal systems. Instead, it pushes for a social revolution to tear down these structures entirely, often using the slogan “Be Gay, Do Crime” to signal a rejection of heteronormative laws.

Green Anarchism: This branch fuses radical environmentalism with anti-authoritarian politics. It argues that capitalism and the state are inherently destructive to the natural world. To save the ecosystem, green anarchists advocate for a society organized around ecological balance, decentralization, and individual freedom rather than industrial exploitation and top-down control.

Egoist Anarchism: Drawing from Max Stirner’s philosophy, egoism places the individual at the absolute center of their own universe. It rejects abstract concepts like “duty” or “morality” as “spooks” used to control people. Instead, it suggests that individuals should cooperate through “unions of egoists” voluntary groups where people work together only because it serves their own personal interests and well-being.

Anarcha-Feminism: This perspective argues that patriarchy is a fundamental form of coercive hierarchy that must be dismantled alongside the state and capitalism. It functions much like intersectional feminism, suggesting that the fight against male dominance is inseparable from the broader anarchist struggle. The goal is to replace rigid gender roles and systemic sexism with decentralized, free association.

Anarcho-Communism: This school of thought seeks to abolish both the state and private property, though it maintains a distinction for personal possessions. It advocates for the collective ownership of the means of production and a distribution system based on the principle: “From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs.” It envisions a moneyless society where resources are shared freely to ensure everyone’s survival and comfort.
