Anarchy is the state of a society being freely constituted without
authorities or a governing body. It may also refer to a society or
group of people that entirely rejects a set hierarchy. Anarchy was
first used in 1539, meaning "an absence of government". Pierre-Joseph
Proudhon adopted anarchy and anarchist in his 1840 treatise What Is
Property? to refer to anarchism, a new political philosophy and social movement which advocates stateless societies based on free and
voluntary associations. Anarchists seek a system based on the
abolishment of all unjustified, coercitive hierarchy and the creation
of system of direct democracy and worker cooperatives.

In practical terms, anarchy can refer to the curtailment or abolition
of traditional forms of government and institutions. It can also
designate a nation or any inhabited place that has no system of
government or central rule. Anarchy is primarily advocated by
individual anarchists who propose replacing government with voluntary institutions. These true institutions or associations generally are
modeled on nature since they can represent concepts such as community
and economic self-reliance, interdependence, or individualism. Although anarchy is often negatively used as a synonym of chaos or societal
collapse, this is not the meaning that anarchists attribute to anarchy,
a society without hierarchies.Proudhon wrote that anarchy is "Not the
Daughter But the Mother of Order
