a dream, alas, yet a worthy definition

Anarchism is the name given to the principle of theory of life and conduct under which society is conceived without government – Harmony in such a society being obtained, not by submission to law, or by obedience to any authority, but by agreements concluded between various groups, territorial and professional, freely constituted toward the sake of production and consumption, as also for the satisfaction of the infinite variety of needs and aspirations of civilized beings.


- Pierre Joseph Proudhon
