Anarchism

Anarchism is a political philosophy advocating the removal of the State and the establishment of a society without government. The term is of Greek origin, meaning "without rulers".

Anarchist thought is similar to traditional Communist thought (though not practice) in that it rejects all authority. However, Individualist anarchists and Anarcho-Capitalists are ideologically closer to Libertarianism than Communism. Some anarchists have been known to employ violent means in their endeavors, though other anarchists are non-violent. Many anarchist groups have been labeled by the U.S. government as terrorist organizations.
