== Political principles ==
==History==
Social anarchism is opposed to all forms of social and political power, hierarchy and oppression, including (but not limited to) the State and capitalism. Social anarchism therefore sees liberty as interconnected with social equality, and considers the maximization of one to be necessary for the maximization of the other.


Social anarchism envisions the overthrow of capitalism and the state in a social revolution, which would establish a federal society of voluntary associations and local communities, based on a network of mutual aid.
==Personality and Behaviour==
 
The key principles that form the core of social anarchism include anti-capitalism, anti-statism and prefigurative politics.
=== Anti-capitalism ===
As an anti-capitalist ideology, social anarchism is opposed to the dominant expressions of capitalism, including the expansion of transnational corporations through globalization. It comprises one of the main forms of socialism, alongside utopian socialism, democratic socialism and authoritarian socialism. Social anarchism rejects private property, particularly private ownership of the means of production, as the principal source of social inequality.
 
While social anarchism has rejected the statism of Orthodox Marxism, it has also drawn from Marxist critiques of capitalism, particularly Marx's theory of alienation. Social anarchists have also been reluctant to adopt the Marxist centring of the proletariat as revolutionary agents, instead identifying the revolutionary potential of the socially excluded segments of society.
=== Anti-statism ===
As an anti-statist ideology, social anarchism opposes the concentration of power in the form of a State. To social anarchists, the state is a type of coercive hierarchy designed to enforce private property and to limit individual self-development. Social anarchists reject both centralised and limited forms of government, instead upholding social collaboration as a means to achieve a spontaneous order, without any social contract supplanting social relations. Social anarchists believe that the abolition of the state will lead to greater "freedom, flourishing and fairness".
 
In the place of a state structure, social anarchists desire anarchy, which can be defined as a society without government. Social anarchists oppose the use of a state structure to achieve their goals of a stateless and classless society, as they consider statism to be an inherently corrupting influence. They thus have criticised the Marxist conception of the "dictatorship of the proletariat", which they consider to be elitist, and have rejected the possibility of a "withering away of the state".
 
However, some social anarchists such as Noam Chomsky sometimes hold state hierarchy to be preferable to economic hierarchy, and thus lend their support to welfare state programs like universal health care that can improve people's material conditions.
=== Self-organization ===
Social anarchism promotes self-organization and the cultivation of a participatory culture, encouraging individuals to "do things for themselves". Social anarchism upholds direct action as a means for people to themselves resist oppression, without subordinating their own agency to democratic representatives or revolutionary vanguards. Social anarchists thus reject the political party model of organization, instead preferring forms of flat organization without any fixed leadership.

Social Anarchism is an Anarchist, economically left-wing and generally culturally progressive ideology.

He believes in a stateless, classless society based on the principles of free-association, mutual aid and social equality. To SocAns, the commune is the cornerstone of social organization, where all participants can vote in a direct democracy.

He strongly advocates for a decentralized co-operative economic system centered around worker's self-management, in which trade unions and worker's cooperatives have democratic control over the economy.

Much like AnCom, SocAn believes in the abolition of unjust hierarchies from state control to private capital, arguing that as long as structures of political and economic oppression continue to exist, individual freedom will never be realized in full.
