Preferred term

anarchists  

Definition

  • Anarchists hold that hierarchical institutional authority is inherently detrimental to human beings. A key difference between what can be termed classical and contemporary anarchism is the latter's increasingly fractured nature, which arguably reflects the culturally and politically diverse nature of contemporary American society.
