Anarchist FAQ - Introduction

"An Anarchist FAQ" is a FAQ written by an international work group of social anarchists connected through the internet. It documents anarchist theory and ideas and argues in favor of social anarchism. It also explores other debates internal to the anarchist movement and counters common arguments against anarchism. It has been in constant evolution since 1995. While it was started as a critique of anarcho-capitalism, by the time it was officially released it had become a general introduction to anarchism.

The FAQ is published under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License (copyleft) and it is dedicated "to the millions of anarchists, living and dead, who tried and are trying to create a better world". It was officially released online on 19 July 1996 "to celebrate the Spanish Revolution of 1936 and the heroism of the Spanish anarchist movement".

It's simple and easy... "Anarchy" literal definition; "No rulers"

Anarcho-capitalism is actually pure capitalism. That would ensure that the wealthy rule over the land and the poor without the interference of state. A hierarchy of rulers (the amount of control, depending on the amount of wealth the individuals and organizations possess, by whatever means they possess it) creates a structure of rulers. A plutocracy and/or corpocracy and land rulers has, by definition, RULERS. This is impossible to avoid. Therefore they are not anarchists. They are state-free capitalists.
