Anarchism is a political and sometimes religious philosophy which considers the state undesirable, unnecessary, and harmful, and instead promotes a anti-nationalist society or a stateless society.
There are many types and traditions of anarchism, not all of which are mutually exclusive. Anarchist schools of thought can differ fundamentally, supporting anything from extreme individualism to complete collectivism. Strains of anarchism have been divided into the categories of social and individualist anarchism or similar dual classifications. Anarchism is often considered to be a radical liberal ideology, and much of anarchist economics and anarchist legal philosophy reflect anti-statist interpretations of socialism, collectivism, syndicalism or resource based economics. However, anarchism has always included an individualist strain supporting a market economy and private property, or morally unrestrained egoism. Some individualist anarchists are also socialists while some anarcho-collectivists are also individualists. The position known as anarchism without adjectives insists on "recognising the right of other tendencies to the name 'anarchist' while, obviously, having their own preferences for specific types of anarchist theory and their own arguments why other types are flawed."
