Anarchism is the political doctrine which advocates the disappearance of the State and all of its representative organizations and institutions, and defends the freedom of the individual beyond any authority.
Anarchism is influenced by Rousseau's idea that affirms that man is good by nature, and it is the society (or the State and its institutions) who destroys his happiness.
The most important principles of anarchist theory are these:
-The defense of individual freedom.
-The rejection of any sort of authority -especially the State- and of any form of organization (political, religious or administrative). Capitalist State has to be destroyed because it is an estructure that makes possible the exploitation of the working class. The mean to achieve it is the general strike, which will allow to ruin the bourgeoisie.
-Social organization has to organize itself from bottom to top, based on small self-sufficient communities and free choice of its members, expressed through universal suffrage.
-The abolition of the private property and the collectivization of the goods.
-The importance of the education to provide men and women of a critical thought that makes them free.
The most important anarchist thinkers are these:
-Proudhon (1809-1895), who is considered the founder of this doctrine.
-Bakunin (1814-1816), who was the first anarchist thinker that introduced his thought systematically.
-Kropotkin (1842-1921), anarcho-syndicalism's representant.
