anarchy

en-noun

anarchy (countable and uncountable, plural anarchies)

From New Latin anarchia, from Ancient Greek ἀναρχία (anarkhía). By surface analysis, an- + -archy.

Своею полемикою против них мы довели их до сознания, что свобода или анархия, т. е. вольная организация рабочих масс снизу вверх, есть окончательная цель общественного развития, и что всякое государство, не исключая и их народного, есть ярмо, значит с одной стороны порождает деспотизм, а с другой рабство.
Они говорят, что такое государственное ярмо-диктатура есть необходимое переходное средство для достижения полнейшего народного освобождения: анархия или свобода — цель, государство или диктатура — средство. Итак для освобождения народных масс надо их сперва поработить.

1990 [1873], Mikhail Bakunin, chapter VII, in Marshall Shatz, transl., Statism and Anarchy, translation of original in Russian:

Svojeju polemikoju protiv nix my doveli ix do soznanija, što svoboda ili anarxija, t. je. volʹnaja organizacija rabočix mass snizu vverx, jestʹ okončatelʹnaja celʹ obščestvennovo razvitija, i što vsjakoje gosudarstvo, ne isključaja i ix narodnovo, jestʹ jarmo, značit s odnoj storony poroždajet despotizm, a s drugoj rabstvo.
Oni govorjat, što takoje gosudarstvennoje jarmo-diktatura jestʹ neobxodimoje perexodnoje sredstvo dlja dostiženija polnejševo narodnovo osvoboždenija: anarxija ili svoboda — celʹ, gosudarstvo ili diktatura — sredstvo. Itak dlja osvoboždenija narodnyx mass nado ix sperva porabotitʹ.

libertarian

/ˌlɪb.əˈtɛə.ɹɪ.ən/

Foundation for Economic Education
Joseph Déjacque
Leonard Read
Pierre-Joseph Proudhon
William Belsham
lois scélérates

The noun is derived from liber(ty) + -arian (suffix denoting an advocate of or believer in something). The adjective is derived from the noun.
sense development
The word was first attested in English in 1789 in William Belsham’s Essays: see the quotation. This was contrasted with necessitarian, in the context of free will, and was not used in the more frequently encountered modern sense.
Compare French libertaire (“person with extreme left-wing beliefs, anarchist”), from liberté (“freedom”) + -aire (suffix forming nouns). Libertaire is derived from Latin libertas. The French word was first attested in a May 1857 letter by the French anarcho-communist Joseph Déjacque (1821–1865) to the anarchist philosopher Pierre-Joseph Proudhon (1809–1865), reading: “Anarchiste juste-milieu, libéral et non LIBERTAIRE [A centrist anarchist, liberal and not LIBERTARIAN] […]”. It was popularized as a euphemism for anarchiste in the 1890s, following the French lois scélérates (literally “villainous laws”) under which anarchist publications were banned.
Sense 3.2 (“believer in right-libertarianism”) developed in the United States in the 1940s and was popularized in the 1950s. In the 1940s, Leonard Read (1898–1983), the founder of the Foundation for Economic Education, a free-market think tank, began calling himself “libertarian” in contrast with a “classical liberal”. In 1955, Dean Russell also promoted the use of the word, writing: “Let those of us who love liberty trade-mark and reserve for our own use the good and honorable word ‘libertarian’.”

cog

[Gustav] Landauer's reorientation of anarchist theory and practice in the direction of idealist and völkisch thought was often incomprehensible to the more traditional libertarians, and in the period of the second Sozialist Landauer no longer felt entirely comfortable with the simple "anarchist" label. For Landauer anarchism and socialism had always been different expressions of the same view; now he regarded anarchism as "merely the negative side of what is positively called socialism."

1973, Eugene Lunn, “The Romantic as Socialist”, in Prophet of Community: The Romantic Socialism of Gustav Landauer, Berkeley; Los Angeles, Calif.; London: University of California Press, →ISBN, page 200:

While anarchism and socialist libertarians have a rich history of revolutionary thinkers ranging from Emma Goldman to George Orwell, the best-known socialist libertarian thinker of today is probably Noam Chomsky.

(politics) One who advocates libertarianism (“a political philosophy maintaining that all persons are the absolute owners of their own lives, and should be free to do whatever they wish with their persons or property, provided they allow others that same liberty”); also, a member of a political party supporting libertarianism.

(chiefly Ireland, UK) An antiauthoritarian believer in left-libertarianism, a political doctrine that stresses both individual freedom and social equality, and advocates shared ownership of natural resources.


anarchist

From French anarchiste, from Ancient Greek ἀναρχία (anarkhía) from the roots ἀν- (an-, “without”) + ἀρχή (arkhḗ, “rule”), equivalent to anarchy + -ist.

Eh bien ! vous êtes démocrate ? — Non. — Quoi ! vous seriez monarchique ? — Non. — Constitutionnel ? — Dieu m’en garde. — Vous êtes donc aristocrate ? — Point du tout. — Vous voulez un gouvernement mixte ? — Encore moins. — Qu’êtes-vous donc ? — Je suis anarchiste.

1849 [1840], Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, “Caractères de la communauté et de la propriété”, in Qu’est-ce que la propriété?, page 237; English translation from “Characteristics of Communism and of Property.”, in Benjamin Tucker, transl., What Is Property?, 1876, page 272:

We have said […] that one of the greatest dangers of the continuance of the Vietnam war was that […] it would lead to an inevitable rise of fascism at home. Now that the U.S. is spreading the aggression in Indo-China the danger is coming icily close. The Black Panthers believe this is already a Fascist Amerikkka; we can understand this view from the black ghetto. We happen to hold that many Americans will resist, and there may be a Civil War in which thousands, if not millions, will die. Feeling thus, it is hard to get enthused about cleaning up the Hudson. There is a strong suspicion that Earth Day was a diversion, for at that very moment plans were being put in operation in Washington to spread death and destruction to Cambodia.

anarcho-capitalism

From anarcho- + capitalism. Earliest extant attestation is in American author Karl Hess's essay “The Death of Politics”, originally published by Playboy, in March 1969. Even though American economist Murray Rothbard is credited with coining this word, its first possible appearance among his writings is in his 1971 essay “Know Your Rights”, published two years after Hess's essay.

Laissez-faire capitalism, or anarchocapitalism^([sic]), is simply the economic form of the libertarian ethic. Laissez-faire capitalism encompasses the notion that men should exchange goods and services, without regulation, solely on the basis of value for value. It recognizes charity and communal enterprises as voluntary versions of this same ethic. Such a system would be straight barter, except for the widely felt need for a division of labor in which men, voluntarily, accept value tokens such as cash and credit. Economically, this system is anarchy, and proudly so.

1969 March, Karl Hess, “The Death of Politics”, in Playboy:

Anarcho-capitalism is a creed new to the present age. Its closest historical links are with the “individualist anarchism” of Benjamin R. Tucker and Lysander Spooner of the late nineteenth century, and it shares with Tucker and Spooner a devotion to private property, individualism, and competition. Furthermore, and in contrast to Read and Rand, it shares with Spooner and Tucker their hostility to government officials as a criminal band of robbers and murderers.[…]

1971, Murray Rothbard, “Know Your Rights”, in WIN: Peace and Freedom through Nonviolent Action, volume 7, number 4, pages 6–10:

The second was shock therapy. Implemented briefly in the aftermath of the Soviet collapse, shock therapy aimed to construct a free market in post-communist Russia. It produced instead a species of mafia-dominated anarcho-capitalism.

1998, John Gray, False Dawn: The Delusions of Global Capitalism, New York: The New Press, →ISBN, page 133:

infoanarchist

From info + anarchist, coined in 2000 in an article in Time magazine about Ian Clarke.

It turns out that the brave new world of free-flowing information can be a bit disconcerting, even to infoanarchists.

2000 July, A. Cohen, “The Infoanarchist”, in Time, volume 155, page 47:

Infoanarchists have emerged as part of the broader copyright social conflict and copyright debate.

2012, Jesse Russell, Ronald Cohn, Infoanarchism:

This, of course, unleashed the ire of many infoanarchists and freedom-of-speech advocates, who saw the removal of the videos as a clear violation of fair use (the exception to copyright that allows people to use materials for purposes such as education, news reporting, criticism, and so on without asking for permission).

Bakuninist

en-adj

Bakuninist (comparative more Bakuninist, superlative most Bakuninist)

more Bakuninist (comparative)
most Bakuninist (superlative)

From Bakunin + -ist. In regards of the alternative form, as the -ин (-in) suffix in Баку́нин (Bakúnin) is dropped in Slavic under various conditions, the name for the ideology, its adherents and the relative adjective also appears without it translingually for euphonic reasons, following particularly strong tendency to omit it in Slavic languages, so that the longer form does not even exist in Russian.

Relating to, or supporting the revolutionary anarchism of Mikhail Bakunin


Bakuninist

A supporter of Mikhail Bakunin respectively his propositions.


crypto-anarchism

The rise of crypto-anarchism might be good news for individual users – and there are plenty working on ways of using this technology for decent social purposes – but it’s also bad news for governments.

2017 June 4, Jamie Bartlett, “Forget far-right populism – crypto-anarchists are the new masters”, in The Observer:

(computing, political science) The belief that cyberspace should exist decentralized and without authority, achievable through cryptography.

Krypto-Anarchismus

(political science) The realization of anarchy in cyberspace.


crypto-anarchist

From crypto- + anarchist, popularized by Timothy C. May in The Crypto Anarchist Manifesto (1988).

Coordinate term: cypherpunk

The crypto anarchist position is that cyberspace is on a non-stop drift towards crypto anarchy. Powerful encryption algorithms, including the Data Encryption Standard (DES), triple-DES, RSA and IDEA, are readily available at no charge […]

2003, Brian D. Loader, editor, The Governance of Cyberspace, Routledge, →ISBN, page 176:

About a year ago I bought 30 Bitcoins, the online peer-to-peer crypto-currency, for about £3 each using a European website called Bitstamp.net. Bitcoins appealed to my inner crypto-anarchist and I felt they had great potential.

2013 July 1, Kate Craig-Wood, “Bitcoin: how I made a virtual fortune”, in The Guardian:

Crypto-anarchists build software – think of it as political computer code – that can protect us online. Julian Assange is a crypto-anarchist (before WikiLeaks he was an active member of the movement’s most important mailing list), and so perhaps is Edward Snowden.

There's a strong crypto anarchist thread running through the cryptocurrency community. What's a crypto anarchist, you ask? The term was likely first coined (if you excuse the pun!) by Tim May, in his 1988 Crypto Anarchist Manifesto.

2019, Tyler Bain, Peter Kent, Cryptocurrency Mining For Dummies, John Wiley & Sons, →ISBN, page 255:

One of the film’s producers is Cody Wilson, a self-defined “crypto-anarchist”. His various run-ins with the law include pleading guilty to endangering a child after being brought up on charges of paying a minor for sex and a legal battle with the feds after he released blueprints online for creating a firearm by 3D printer.

2020 May 1, Jessa Crispin, “'Incel' culture has sparked panic and pity – but little thoughtful conversation”, in The Guardian:

2015, Thomas Bustamante, Christian Dahlman, Argument Types and Fallacies in Legal Argumentation, →ISBN, page 70:

One group is simply called 'ACAB'; the other is called 'Visitors 1312'. The latter was formed from the amalgamation of two groups, '1312' and 'Visitors'. '1312' is significant because it refers to the numerical positions in the alphabet of the letters comprising 'ACAB'.

2015, Mark Doidge, Football Italia: Italian Football in an Age of Globalization, →ISBN, page 174:

fuck 12

From fuck + 12, of uncertain origin. Widespread use of the phrase as an anti-police slogan grew following the 2014 killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri.
* Possibly from 1312, an alternative form of ACAB (“all cops are bastards”) in which the letters are substituted with their position in the alphabet.
* Alternatively, from the American police procedural television series Adam-12 (1968–1975), in which 1-Adam-12 refers to a patrol unit and its radio call sign.
Likely popularized by "F*ck 12", a song by American hip hop group Migos from their 2013 mixtape Y.R.N. (Young Rich Niggas), which uses 12 in reference to the police while describing a narcotics raid: “12 kickin' in my front door […] 12 in my home, they won't leave me alone”.

Vehicles with the words "Fuck 12" painted on the sides and windows drove down West Florissant Avenue, honking in support of protesters on the street as others would chant the straight-to-the-point slogan.

2014 August 17, Ray Downs, “Ferguson Protesters Defy State of Emergency Curfew and Fight Tear Gas”, in Riverfront Times:

Kwame Shakur, deputy chairman of the New African Black Panther Party, showed up with a megaphone and led the protesters in chants of "All power to the people" and "Fuck 12."

2020 May 7, Tyler Fenwick, “'We're just trying to get answers': Fatal IMPD shooting captured on Facebook Live”, in Indianapolis Recorder:

tranarchist

What follows is a distillation of hours of conversation with two of these women, Justine and Zoë, founding members of the "tranarchist" affinity group that has helped jump-start a movement that has swept the nation and the world.

2011 November 9, Gina Quattrochi, “When the System Itself is the Problem”, in Gay City News, page 10:

As Justine Tunney (27), self-described "tranarchist" and founder of the main OWS website (occupywallst.org) phrased it, "I believe that the hetero-normative, cis-normative, patriarchal, state-capitalist establishment is evil and must be destroyed."

2013, Mark Bray, Translating Anarchy: The Anarchism of Occupy Wall Street, unnumbered page:

Some noted with bemused incuriosity that Tunney, an avowed anticapitalist “tranarchist” (transgender anarchist), was at one time a prominent and divisive fixture of the Occupy Wall Street movement.
