Anarcho-Individualism

Anarcho-Individualism, or AnInd for short, is an economically variable (although usually left leaning) and culturally progressive anarchist ideology that emphasizes the individual and the will of the individual over external determinants like society, groups, tradition and ideologies, seeing the abolition of the state as the fullest realization of individual liberty. He believes that without a government, individuals will pursue their personal objectives and work together in mutual self-interest to create a stable and harmonious anarchist society.

History
Within anarchism, individualist anarchism is primarily a literary phenomenon while social anarchism has been the dominant form of anarchism, emerging in the late 19th century as a distinction from individualist anarchism after Anarcho-Communism replaced  Collectivist Anarchism as the dominant tendency.

Foundations
Individualist Anarchism has been popularised and heavily influenced by the ideas/works of European philosophers William Godwin, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon and Max Stirner and American philosophers Benjamin Tucker, Josiah Warren, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Lysander Spooner

Personality and Behaviour
AnInd is often depicted as passionate about individual liberty and can be shown to have a disdain for any sort of authority or hierarchies, as well as having a strong sense of self and resistance to tradition and conformity. AnInd often prefers to "go his own way" as opposed to letting his ideas be influenced by those around him and usually keeps himself busy with his own affairs. Although he is sometimes willing to work with his fellow anarchists if it benefits him to do so, he is equally likely to be seen debating with them, keeping true to his ideological convictions of true individual liberty.

Friends

 * [[File:Ancapf.png]] Anarcho-Capitalism - Not sure if I'm a fan of capitalism but I admire your passion for individualism. (as long as it means I don't get to work)
 * [[File:Ancom.png]] Anarcho-Communism - I'm a little skeptical about this whole communism thing but you seem to care about individual liberty like I do (but your liberal friends keep trying to cancel me on twitter for speaking my mind).
 * [[File:Annil.png]] Anarcho-Nihilism - You get me.
 * [[File:Ego.png]] Egoism - STIRNER GANG, but you call things "spook" too much.
 * [[File:Mutalist.png]] Mutualism - My son, you seem to have the best system for individualism.
 * Anpostleft.png Post-Left Anarchism - You truly understand the lumpenproles fight is one for self-determination from the tyranny of the majority.
 * Postconan.png Post-Colonial Anarchism - Another good interpretation of me. Fellow colonzied lumpens fighting against the will of the authoritarive majority and against assimilating into their hivemind is based.
 * Autarch.png Autarchism - Only the self may rule their own person.

Frenemies

 * [[File:Clib.png]] Classical Liberalism - Our ideologies come from similar ways of thought, but I'll only be your friend if you reject the state and all those other meaningless social constructs.
 * [[File:Cap.png]] Capitalism - NO! Well, maybe... My [[File:Ancapf.png]] son, really likes you but I just don't see the appeal...
 * [[File:Acol.png]] Anarcho-Collectivism - Collectivism is incompatible with anarchism! However, we both like to smash the status quo together (but I’m still not convinced he is a real anarchist!).

Enemies

 * [[File:ML.png]] Marxism–Leninism - Collectivist.
 * [[File: Bckchn.png]] Bookchin Communalism - Collectivist in an anarchist mask. Just because we lumpenproles don't want to follow you doesn't make us not anarchists or anti-revolutionary. (Also Bob black Wrecked your ass)
 * [[File:Fash.png]] Fascism - Anti-individualist.
 * [[File:Hmind.png]] Hive-Mind Collectivism - Your existence disturbs me.
 * [[File:OOTS.png]] Death Worship - What the actual fuck?!
