Anarchism

Anarchism, also known as Anarchy, Anarchy without Adjectives or Mother Anarchy, is an ideology inhabiting the bottom of the political compass that advocates for a society without rulers or constituted authority.

She is the mother of countless anarchist ideologies and is known to love all of her children except for some failed children. Unlike most other balls, whose gender is undefined, Anarchism is always female and wears a grey bow, as a reference to the Russo-Ukrainian anarchist song, Анархия-мама Сынов Своих Любит (Eng: Mother Anarchy Loves Her Sons).

Proto-Anarchism
The etymological roots of anarchism come from Ancient Greek (as with several political vocabulary) and roughly translate to "without rulers" and has existed in the English language since 1642. Yet despite this and the fact that Pierre-Joseph Proudhon was the first to call himself an anarchist, many scholars like to envision earlier philosophies as being a sort of "proto-anarchism".

Some such as Harold Barclay and  David Graeber claim that before the existence of society, all humans lived in a state of anarchy (a state that would later be envisioned by  anarcho-primitivists). The ancient philosophies of Taoist sages such as  Lao Tzu and  Zhuang Zhou as well as the Greek philosophies of the  Cynics and the  Stoics have often been portrayed as anarchic by certain scholars. Aristippus, one of the pupils of Socrates can also be considered one of the forerunners of anarchist thought due to his beliefs about rule and autonomy.

During the Middle Ages, various theological strains of Islam and  Christianity developed that had anarchistic qualities such as the  Mu'tazilite and  Kharijites in  Persia (who are considered by historian  David Goodway to be a part of the historical anarchist tradition) and anticlerical movements such as the  Brethren of the Free Spirit and proto-Protestants such as the  Hussites. Historian James Joll describes this as the rise of a strand of anarchism based in the theological, zealotic and ascetic critique of institutions.

The start of the Anarchist Theory
Anarchism has been used as a term a long time ago, and used to mean simply "without rulers", deriving from the greek word ἀναρχος (anarkhos), with great emphasis on its use during the French Revolution by Robespierre to disqualify more radical groups like the  enragés, a group which inspired  Socialism as a whole, but the term had mostly a negative connotation. The ideology took shape after Pierre-Joseph Proudhon self proclaimed himself as an anarchist formally, and because of the word's ambiguity, based his theory on organizing a society based on  Anti-Authoritarianism and  Socialism, and although he had differences with  later Anarchists ideologies (a lot because of his emphasis on  Market Socialism and  individualism), still he laid the basic foundations of Anarchism. During the XVII century, different branches truly developed even more the ideology, to the way we're accustomed to in the Modern Age, Anarchism took two different paths, a more Marxist analysis, with notable names like  Mikhail Bakunin and the  Anarcho-Collectivism,  Piotr Kropotkin and  Errico Malatesta with  Anarcho-Communism and the  Social Anarchism umbrella term, for the more collectively minded anarchists ideologies, in contrast with the  individually minded anarchists such as  Benjamin Tucker and  Lysander Spooner, marking as well economical differences, between  Market Anarchism, or  Mutualism and  Gift Economy, and sparkling the first forms of  Right-Anarchism in the end of the century, inspired by  Austrian School,  Chicago School and  Libertarianism in general, as infamously  Anarcho-Capitalism.

Anti-Capitalist or Not?
The first individuals to describe themselves as Anarchists without adjectives were thoroughly anti-capitalist, with Anarchist without Adjectives Voltairine de Cleyre saying in 1907:

But it's important to take into consideration the meaning of the terms employed. Voltairine, after all, also said:

However historical context is necessary, as these statements predate modern Anarcho-Capitalism, and with modern Anarchists without adjectives such as Fred Woodworth instead saying:

Personality and Behaviour
Anarchy is a mother and therefore portrays quite motherly traits within the comics, but because she is anarchist, she can be quite lax in her parenting.

How to Draw

 * 1) Draw a ball,
 * 2) Fill it with dark, but not pure, black,
 * 3) Draw a white circle with an 'A' in the middle,
 * 4) Add a grey bow to the top,
 * 5) Add the eyes, and you're done!

International Relations
Since world doesn't have any worldwide government, many theorists of international relations studies use the word anarchy to describe the order of the international system—independent states with no central authority above them. On this foundation was developed 4 schools of thought: Realism,  Neorealism,  Liberalism,  Neoliberalism.
