anarchism aims for a classless society but, unlike communism, rejects a strong controlling state. anarchism fights for human freedom by opposing all forms of hierarchical organization and control - these are inherently repressive. it does not argue for complete disorder but advocates local cooperation and universal pacifism. anarchists recognize that even so-called democracies are essentially repressive institutions in which an educated, privileged elite of politicians and civil servants imposes its will on the mass of people. anarchists want to live in a non-hierarchical world in which individual expression is paramount and all the paraphernalia of voting, government, taxation, laws and police are done away with.
