Anarchism is a political philosophy encompassing theories and attitudes which consider the state, as compulsory government, to be unnecessary, harmful, and/or undesirable. Specific anarchists may have additional criteria for what constitutes anarchism, and they often disagree with each other on what these criteria are. According to The Oxford Companion to Philosophy, "there is no single defining position that all anarchists hold, and those considered anarchists at best share a certain family resemblance.

One common feature of anarchist thinking and action is the rejection of heirachical power structures, be they economic, political, social or cultural. and the struggle for a democracy of participation and bring capitalism to an end .
