Autarchy

"Not to be confused with Autocracy and  Autarky" Autarchism is an individualist, anti-statist (non-anarchist) ideology that advocates for the abolition of any attempt to rule over another individual. Autarchism believes each individual should rule themselves, or self-rule. Any system the individual is a part of must by voluntary. Autarchism promotes the philosophical ideals of individualism and moral self-reliance.

History
The first self-proclaimed autarchist was Robert LeFevre recognized as such by Murray Rothbard. LeFevre, during a talk with his professor, was told that he may be an anarchist, who he (and most people) associate not with voluntary association but rather with wicked man with bombs. After reading further on the definition of anarchism, and realizing its traditionally economically left-wing leaning, he founded autarchism within the stoicism of philosophers such as Zeno, Epicurus and Marcus Aurelius, which he summarized in the "Control Yourself" creed. LeFevre thought that anarchy is self-contradictory to defending "sparkling and resplendent individualism" while "advocating some sort of procedure to interfere in the processes of a free market".

Beliefs
Autarchism is based on the assumption that no individual should rule another. LeFevre, its founder, was an adherent of the Austrian School of Economics.

Autarchism believes in individual sovereignty and self-rule, and as such, every individual must consent to anything they take part in, including their association with any other individual. Autarchists believe all individuals should have freedom of travel and freedom of association.

Traditional, Left and Post-Left Anarchists don't tolerate Capitalism and land ownership. Anarcho-Capitalism, Agorists and Voluntaryists insist on using a system of private property. An Autarchist may choose to join either group, commune, or system, as long as it respects all other individuals who partake in a different form of societal organization.

Personality and Behaviour
Autarchism can be an ally with any individual or group against the ruling class, but is also very individualistic and prefer to keeps to itself alone. If it involves taking out the state, Autarchism is down and ready!
