So what does the anarchist cookbook have to do with anarchism?

The Anarchist Cookbook FAQ, Frequently Asked Questions about...
Well, arguably not a hell of a lot. Anarchism is an extremely personal topic and one which I don't dare to philosophize about. Some anarchists like to more closely align themselves with peace and freedom while some are all about active protest and causing mayhem. There are many sites out there where you can learn more about anarchism without the anarchist cookbook: Anarchy for Anybody: Anarchism does not mean bloodshed; it does not mean robbery, arson, etc.

While it is not specifically limited to governmental rulers, conventionally it has only been used to criticize the rulers of the most influential body, which is generally the government of a nation. Technically it could be used against all kinds of rulers: religious, economic, social or even familial heads of household. Anarchism is not one monogamous ideology, rather it is a collection of similar ideologies.

A.2 What does anarchism stand for?

Frequently Asked Questions about Anarchism
These words by Percy Bysshe Shelley gives an idea of what anarchism stands for in practice and what ideals drive it: Shelley's lines suggest, anarchists place a high priority on liberty, desiring it both for themselves and others. They also consider individuality -- that which makes one a unique person -- to be a most important aspect of humanity. They recognize, however, that individuality does not exist in a vacuum but is a social phenomenon.

What does anarchism have to do with psychology?

Frequently Asked Questions
My early interest in social psychology made me think about how "the person" and "the setting" interact to influence behavior. Psychologists like Erich Fromm, Paul Goodman, Seymour Sarason, and Noam Chomsky have found anarchist theory useful in identifying the strengths and weaknesses of competing solutions to social problems. Mainstreamers debate the virtues of government regulation versus free-market capitalism.

In reality the leaders of these movements are not devoid of ideology, they are anarchists. Anarchism is not simply a term of abuse, it comes from the Greek word 'anarchos' meaning 'without government'. To anarchists the state - the institutions of government, the army, police, courts etc. - is the root cause of all that is wrong in the world. It must be destroyed and replaced not with any new form of government, but the immediate introduction of a stateless society.

The anarchist workers of the CNT played a heroic role in the struggle against fascism. In July 1936, they rose up and stormed the barracks armed with just sticks and knives and a few old hunting rifles, and beat the fascists. They set up soviets and established a workers' militia and workers' control in the factories. The CNT and the POUM (a centrist party led by ex-Trotskyists) were the only power in Barcelona. Soon the whole of Catalonia was in the hands of the workers.

Pat Stack states that one of the "key points of divergence" between anarchism and Marxism is that the former, "far from understanding the advances that capitalism represented, tended to take a wistful look back. Anarchism shares with Marxism an abhorrence of the horrors of capitalism, but yearns for what has gone before." ["Anarchy in the UK?", Socialist Review, no. 246] Like his other "key point" (namely the rejection of class struggle -- see last section), Stack is simply wrong.
