'''Anarcho-Individualism''', or '''AnInd''' for short, is an economically variable and culturally variable anarchist ideology that emphasizes the individual and the will of the individual over external determinants - such as: society, groups, tradition, and ideologies - seeing the abolition of the state as the fullest realization of individual liberty. He believes that without any government, individuals will pursue their personal objectives and work together in mutual self-interest to create a stable and harmonious anarchist society.
 
==History==
Within anarchism, individualist anarchism is primarily a literary phenomenon since social anarchism has been the dominant form of anarchism, emerging in the late 19th century as a distinction from ''individualist anarchism'', after [[File:Ancom.png]] [[Anarcho-Communism]] had replaced [[File:Acol.png]] [[Anarcho-Collectivism|Collectivist Anarchism]] as the dominant tendency.
 
===Boston Anarchism===
[[File:Egomut flag.svg|thumb|220px|{{Colorlink|#000|Ego-Mutualism|Flag of Ego-Mutualism}}]]
One of the most well-known individualist anarchist scenes originates from the Boston area in the [[File:Cball-US.png]] United States. Thinkers who came from this scene had primarily been influenced by [[File:Mutalist.png]] [[Mutualism]], although some had incorporated [[File:Anego.png]] [[Anarcho-Egoism]], with Benjamin Tucker combining the aforementioned two to create [[File:Egomut.png]] '''Ego-Mutualism''', and others - like Henry David Thoreau - would go on to influence [[File:Aneco.png]] [[Eco-Anarchism]] and [[File:Anpacf.png]] [[Anarcho-Pacifism]].
 
==Foundations==
Individualist Anarchism has been popularised and heavily influenced by the ideas/works of European philosophers [[w:William Godwin|William Godwin]], [[w:Pierre-Joseph_Proudhon|Pierre-Joseph Proudhon]], and [[w:Max_Stirner|Max Stirner]], and American philosophers [[w:Benjamin_Tucker|Benjamin Tucker]], [[w:Josiah_Warren|Josiah Warren]], [[w:Ralph_Waldo_Emerson|Ralph Waldo Emerson]], and [[w:Lysander_Spooner|Lysander Spooner]].
 
==Personality and Behavior==
AnInd is often depicted as passionate about individual liberty and can be shown to have a disdain for any sort of authority or hierarchies, as well as having a strong sense of self and resistance to tradition and conformity. AnInd often prefers to "go his own way" as opposed to letting his ideas be influenced by those around him and usually keeps himself busy with his own affairs. Although he is sometimes willing to work with his fellow anarchists if it benefits him to do so, he is equally likely to be seen debating with them, keeping true to his ideological convictions of true individual liberty.

Anarcho-Individualism, or AnInd for short, is an economically variable and culturally variable anarchist ideology that emphasizes the individual and the will of the individual over external determinants - such as: society, groups, tradition, and ideologies - seeing the abolition of the state as the fullest realization of individual liberty. He believes that without any government, individuals will pursue their personal objectives and work together in mutual self-interest to create a stable and harmonious anarchist society.

History

Within anarchism, individualist anarchism is primarily a literary phenomenon since social anarchism has been the dominant form of anarchism, emerging in the late 19th century as a distinction from individualist anarchism, after Anarcho-Communism had replaced Collectivist Anarchism as the dominant tendency.

Boston Anarchism

Flag of Ego-Mutualism

One of the most well-known individualist anarchist scenes originates from the Boston area in the United States. Thinkers who came from this scene had primarily been influenced by Mutualism, although some had incorporated Anarcho-Egoism, with Benjamin Tucker combining the aforementioned two to create Ego-Mutualism, and others - like Henry David Thoreau - would go on to influence Eco-Anarchism and Anarcho-Pacifism.

Foundations

Individualist Anarchism has been popularised and heavily influenced by the ideas/works of European philosophers William Godwin, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, and Max Stirner, and American philosophers Benjamin Tucker, Josiah Warren, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Lysander Spooner.

Personality and Behavior

AnInd is often depicted as passionate about individual liberty and can be shown to have a disdain for any sort of authority or hierarchies, as well as having a strong sense of self and resistance to tradition and conformity. AnInd often prefers to "go his own way" as opposed to letting his ideas be influenced by those around him and usually keeps himself busy with his own affairs. Although he is sometimes willing to work with his fellow anarchists if it benefits him to do so, he is equally likely to be seen debating with them, keeping true to his ideological convictions of true individual liberty.

How to Draw

Flag of Anarcho-Individualism
  1. Draw a ball;
  2. draw a line in near-black diagonally across the ball;
  3. fill the bottom half of the ball with the same near-black color, and fill the top half with sky blue or turquoise;
  4. draw an uppercase letter "I" in the middle of the ball, in opposite colors to the ball (i.e. black on turquoise, turquoise on black);
  5. add the eyes, and you're done!
Color Name HEX RGB
