NPOV

I think this may be a NPOV violation, as it takes almost a propoganda view. I don't think that propoganda from *ANY* group belongs in Wikipedia, however I do not know if there id mutual consensus on this. To me this article sounds reasonable, however I'm an anarchist so I can't be neutral in discussing the propoganda of my beliefs. Anyhow, the point is I thing this might not be NPOV, but I don't know for sure and... I'm blabbering... Fatalserpent 19:26, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Completely agree - this is unsourced opinion and should be removed - it's unencyclopedic. Addhoc 22:03, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yet Another Split From An Already Gigantic Article

Hey, this article needs a lot of work. I put the NPOV warning template on it. This article could be very long indeed with all the theoretical hoopla that anarchism contains. I would also suggest that it could make for a very good point-counterpoint structure. --albamuth 21:46, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

NPOV is right. Where are the Anarcho - capitalists? Anarchy is simply the uniform application of some sort of ethics at the expense of all forms of hypocrisy, primary among those forms of hypocrisy being the government. Anarchists all have their own ethics to apply uniformly, often define anarchy to be the "true" form of those ethics, and when they disagree about what to apply uniformly, they call each other not-anarchists. This is generally true of every branch of Anarchism. Capitalism, with all its privilege and inequality, is just another kind of ethics that can be applied uniformly. Everyone is perfectly welcome to get rich, if they can. They define expropriation as traumatic and wrongful, so they define government, with all its hypocrisy, to be socialism and exproperty. They are the Anarcho - capitalists.

Most Anarchists consider themselves Anticapitalist, so they define anarchy to be liberation against all forms of domination, hierarchy, subjugation, property, and institutionalization. Anticapitalist Anarchists do the same thing with Anticapitalism that they do with Anarchism.

Notice that I capitalized the word whenever it places an importance on forming internal schools of opinion.71.141.110.236 08:28, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with concerns about a lack of neutrality. Addhoc 22:03, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Anarchist opposition to sexuality

can someone please reference one self-described anarchist who is opposed to sexuality? ive never ever heard of anyone like that

Completely agree - the entire section should be removed. Addhoc 22:03, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Anarchist Community Colleges?

"Community college also demonstrates a contrast between anarchy and the state. It is a government institution, but is so much more orderly than high school not because of government/teacher intervention, but instead the near complete consensus of the students to consent to college. It is orderly, so it gives free reign to both the students in classes with permissive teachers, but the order also gives authoritarian teachers little resistance to their campaign of institutionalization and subjugation of the class-state to the selfsame teacher's domination."

I don't know if college students really give their full & unproblematic consent. For many, college is either an obligation to parents or a form of professional development. Not to mention the fact that the students have to pay the school, etc, etc. If this is anarchy, then so is any other civil association. Anyway, can we get some sources and less POV?

Original research

Without any citations to indicate where this info was gathered, it reads like one long bit of original research. 24.4.253.249 03:30, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Completely agree. Addhoc 22:03, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Search for references

Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL - 63 google hits, virtually all mirrors of this article. Given there isn't any sourced content, I would suggest a redirect towards Anarchism.--Addhoc 20:55, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would support redirect. Jeepday (talk) 16:03, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On second look at Anarchism which is a well referenced article, I found that everything here that could be referenced was all ready merged into Anarchism so I went ahead and did the redirect. Jeepday (talk) 16:08, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
