Anarcho-Nihilism

Anarcho-Nihilism (AnNihil or AnNil) is an Individualist  Anarchist ideology who believes that life is without objective purpose, and as such, society, humanism, the state, and morals have no grounding in reality and should be rejected. They see negation of these constructs as liberation from them.

He sees government, family, and law as false constructs that have no real reason to govern the life of the individual, and thinks that the individual should reject false restraints. Influenced by the Russian Nihilist Movement, he sees extreme violence towards social construct and authorities as a valid way to bring about political change.

Etymology
Anarcho-Nihilism comes from Anarchism and Nihilism, that takes from apathy for authority from anarchism, and negation of social constructs from nihilism.

History
Anarcho-Nihilism first appeared during the late 19th and early 20th century around the time of the Russian Revolution. Peter Kropotkin defined nihilism as: "the symbol of struggle against all forms of tyranny, hypocrisy, and artificiality and for individual freedom." Nihilism is meant to bring down social structures in society that hold back the individual, and to Anarcho-Nihilists, this meant government. The Nihilist movement started to die out in Russia, but was revived by Leo Strauss in 20th century Germany. Since then, Nihilist groups like the AIF have come to the front lines in order to try and revive the Nihilist movement.

Influenced by
Modern anarcho-nihilism is influenced by Stirnerite egoism and Russian nihilist movement. From egoism it takes negation of social construct, from Russian nihilism opposition toward moral values, religion and tradition. It also is compatible with other post-left movements, because tenets of Anarcho-Nihilism are similar to these of Post-Left Anarchism.

Proto-
First movement that had similar ideology to Anarcho-Nihilism was Russian Nihilist Movement. Russian nihilists were diverse ideologically, for example Bakunin was social anarchist, Chernyshevsky was utopian socialist and Nechayev was considered as totalitarian communist, that doesn't count to Anarcho-Nihilism.

Creation/Origin
One of first people that was definitely anarchist, individualist and nihilist were Renzo Novatore and Fumiko Kaneko.

Modern
Modern anarcho-nihilists belongs to post-left anarchists. This ideology has little or no praxis in real life currently, but has modern theorists are Aragorn! and Serafinski (author of Blessed is the Flame). Not much is known about them, as ideology is currently popular in internet, rather than in politics from different reasons, like avoiding authority, organized political action.

Influenced
This ideology influenced many insurrectionary anarchists in philosophy and methods. WIP

IRL Examples
There are some organizations that their ideology is similar to Anarcho-Nihilism. One of examples can be Conspiracy of Fire Nuclei. They are anarchist insurrectionary group, that their main action is arson and attacking banks and police offices, especially in Athens. Their philosophy is based on insurrectionary action, and they values insurrection itself above end goal. Members of group are apathetic towards class struggle or post-revolution utopian society.

Tenets
As main tenets of ideology, can be considered:


 * [[File:Radape.png]] Pure Negation
 * [[File:Anticoll.png]] Opposition towards society
 * [[File:Anticiv.png]] Anti-civilization
 * [[File:Radape.png]] Opposition towards every political system, abolition of politics
 * [[File:AntiUtopian.png]] Anti-utopianism
 * [[File:Anticap.png]] Anti-economy (includes [[File:Antwork.png]] work)
 * [[File:Anti-Cultism.png]] [[File:AntiTrad.png]] Opposition towards religion, family, tradition and morals [[File:MoralNihil.png]]

Major
Anarcho-Nihilism doesn't support any utopia or new system of governing, but negation of any society. Our reaction towards society, civilization, and so on should be hostility. There are no utopian visions, no political programs to be followed, the resistance is pure negation. Anarcho-Nihilism speaks about pleasure of destruction, destruction of society, social construct, morality and so on. Anarcho-Nihilists reject revolution as impossible, instead of, they proposes insurrection - spontaneous resistance against society and the state.

Minor
Some people considers Anarcho-Nihilism as simple connection of anarchism with existential nihilism, like "life is bad, suffering and we should end it". That isn't correct interpretation, because not every person considered as Anarcho-Nihilist has negative attitude towards life, for example Renzo Novatore wrote in one of his book about "happy" nihilism. But also some Anarcho-Nihilists, like Fumiko Kaneko said that they "negate life". "Though some strains of nihilism certainly arrive at a place of paralysis, the strain that collides with anarchism tends to be one of explosive creativity and relentless action. " - Blessed is the Flame

Internal conflicts in ideology
Anarcho-Nihilism may have two factions: these completely defeatist and pessimistic, and these more optimistic and active. Second faction believes that insurrection can be successful, and we can fight social construct and live free and happy with using hedonism. First sees only negation of life itself.

Russian Nihilism
Russian Nihilism was an economically left, civically variable,  agrarian, and revolutionary  anti-monarchist movement from the  Russian Empire in the late 19th century. It was primarily inspired by the thought of the Young Hegelians and Russian anarchist  Mikhail Bakunin. Ideas varied wildly between theoreticians. Some supported anarchism (Bakunin), some supported  republicanism (Chernyshevsky), and some supported what was perceived as  totalitarianism (Nechayev). One thing these theorists all shared was an opposition to traditional values, monarchism, and religion. Another thing to note is that some nihilists were greatly influenced by Russian antinihilist literature such as Ivan Turgenevs "fathers and sons" or Fyodor Dostoevskys work and aspired to be like the nihilist characters in those stories.

Quotes
I am nothing, I do not recognise your laws, all your existing rules, order, authorities, morality, god, fairy tales of goodness and conscience. I am disgusted from your this dirty world, I want to destroy everything that is the beautiful one and the ugly one. I'm not feeding any kind of hope to about your world, I live only and only to destroy this dirty world, all your bullshit. Murat Uz
