How we organise ourselves is central to the way our society functions. We often take for granted the power dynamics and values that are present in the modern-day nation-state, but who do these arrangements benefit and who does it disempower? Is governance from the top the best way of realising our values and creating the kind of society we desire? Often associated with chaos, Anarchism is a generally misunderstood political philosophy that suggests that nobody needs to be in charge.
In this episode, I chat with Ruth Kinna about Anarchism. We explore the history and context out which anarchism emerged, the core values and critiques, as well as some practical embodiments of it. I think this episode is quite complementary to Episode 6 where I spoke with Fleur and Marco, in which we explored power dynamics and the difficulties of trying to create spaces free of domination within social movements which is a central value of anarchist thought and reflects the process of anarchisation that we speak about in this interview.
