Is Anarchism a form of Liberalism?

[WritOfCertiorari]

It could be a more radical version of liberalism, or a form of socialism. I’m not sure which is more accurate.

[Goldwater]

Either way, it's impossible.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

It is a form of racialism. Anarchism, Syndicalism and Communism would all count as such.

In terms of Classical Liberalism, Anarchism is such taken to its furthest and most purest extreme.

Either way, it's impossible.

You almost sound disappointed in saying that.

But yes, all forms of purest based politics are necessarily Utopian and thus impossible in the real world. All attempts to implement them typically just lead to mass killing and an authoritarian riding in on a white horse to "save" everyone.

[America's Sweetheart ❤/𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕭𝖔𝖔𝖙𝖞 𝖂𝖆𝖗𝖗𝖎𝖔𝖗]

Are we talking about far-left anarchism, or far-right anarchism? Neither are "liberal" in the American sense.

[CatoMinor]

Its a tricky question. There are some Christian Anarchists that I would argue evolved out of radicalized liberalism in the 19th century. However much of early modern anarchism has shared roots with the radical left. Then you have modern An/Cap Libertarianism which is could be seen as extreme classical liberalism.

It really depends on what strain of anarchism you are referring to and how you define liberalism. In the perverted American progressive sense, certainly not.

Heh, that wasn't my intention, I actually quite dislike anarchism, since the way I see it you can't actually protect any sort of rights or liberties without a state.

Anarchism is a rejection of liberalism. But it is still left-wing.

[MarkD]

My thought is that anarchism is a form of Libertarianism. The most extreme Libertarians sometimes are called Anarcho-Libertarians.

No it isn’t

Racialism?  I don't think that means what you think it means...

It is Classical Liberalism taken to an extreme, though still not a clear analogy.

Ridiculous.

Sarcasm... it is rather ridiculous to compare it directly to Liberalism, though (not sarcastic here) some comparisons can be drawn.

Real anarchism (as in, stemming from anarchist thinkers of the 19th century) is based in the idea of a state of nature characterized by mutual aid rather than a “war of all against all”. Anarchists believe that rulers and classes and capitalism have conspired to crush institutions of voluntary communalism, and that capitalism and authority warp our instincts, creating antisocial animals of us. It has little to do with the free market and the social contract, and opposed those two institutions.

[Blue3]

There are many forms of anarchism.

[James Monroe]

All forms of anarachism is incomprehensible with the liberal philosophy, both in the traditionalist view and the modern-day westernized ideology of parties such as the Democratic Party.

[Statilius the Epicurean]

In the sense that anarchism is an Enlightenment ideology and liberalism was the prototypical ideology of the Enlightenment which all modern ideologies outside of reactionary conservatism trace a lineage from (including socialism and communism).

We might as well call fascism liberalism then, which voids the question.
