anarchist rejections of the state 81 summary This chapter has examined some leading conceptions of government, authority, power and liberty. There are three key findings: 1. Anarchists reject the state because they believe it to be iniquitous and unnecessary; because it inhibits the expression of freedom, most importantly, through exploitation and alienation. 2. Anarchists typically reject all forms of government, authority and power but accept the possibility of self-government, acknowledge the role of natural authority and rely on notions of collective or individual power to accomplish the state’s abolition. 3. Anarchists typically identify anarchism with liberty, but have different ideas about what it means to be free and are divided about whether communitarianism or libertarianism offers the best conditions for the realization of liberty. further reading Michael Bakunin, God and the State, http://dwardmac.pitzer.edu/ Anarchist_Archives George Crowder, Classical Anarchism: The Political Thought of Godwin, Proudhon, Bakunin and Kropotkin (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1991) Guy Debord, The Society of the Spectacle, http://www.spunk.org.texts/ writers.debord/sp000547.txt Peter Kropotkin, The State: Its Historic Role, http://dwardmac.pitzer.edu/ Anarchist_Archives John Marks, Gilles Deleuze: Vitalism and Multiplicity (London: Pluto Press, 1998) Todd May, The Political Philosophy of Poststructuralist Anarchism (Pennsylvania: Pennsylvania State University Press, 1994) Jon Purkis and James Bowen (eds), Twenty-First Century Anarchism (London: Cassell, 1997) William Reichert, ‘Anarchism, Freedom and Power’, Ethics, 79 (2), 1969: 139–49 William Reichert, ‘Towards a New Understanding of Anarchism’, Western Political Quarterly, 20, 1967: 856–65 Alan Ritter, ‘The Anarchist Justification of Authority’ in
