Anarchism Breakdown: 👇 Once upon a time, in a small village called Freeheart, everyone helped each other without any king, president, or big boss telling them what to do.

In Freeheart, people didn’t believe in one person ruling everyone or in the government controlling money or land. Instead, they believed that everyone should work together and share things fairly.

For example: If someone grew food, they shared it with their neighbours. If someone fixed shoes, they did it for free or traded it for something else.

If someone needed help building a house, people came together to help them, not for money, but because it was the right thing to do. This kind of system where no one is the boss, and everyone helps each other is called Anarchism.

What Is Anarchism (Simply)? Anarchism means: No kings or presidents ruling the people No police or army forcing people to obey No big companies taking all the money People work together as equals Everyone shares what they have No one is forced to do things by force

It’s like living in a big family where everyone listens to each other, makes decisions together, and no one is more important than others.

Where Did Anarchism Come From? Anarchism started many years ago in Europe, especially in a country called France and later in Russia.

One of the early thinkers of anarchism was Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, a French man who said, "Property is theft", meaning rich people were stealing from the poor by keeping everything for themselves.

1. Spain – During the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939), in places like Catalonia, farmers and workers took control of land and factories without bosses.

2. Ukraine – In the early 1900s, during a revolution, a man named Nestor Makhno led an anarchist army that believed in people ruling themselves. 3. Greece – Some neighbourhoods still live in anarchist ways, especially in cities like Athens.

4. Denmark – There is a place called Freetown Christiania, where people live by their own rules without police or government control.

Is It Used Today? Not many countries use anarchism fully today because: It’s hard to manage big countries without leaders Some people might become greedy if there are no rules Many governments don’t allow anarchism

@MasterBolaji
But in small communities, villages, or activist groups, some people still try to live without leaders and believe in helping each other equally.

In Simple Words: Anarchism is like sharing your birthday cake with everyone, not because a teacher said so, but because you care. There's no head boy or girl—everyone just takes care of one another.

Summary: Anarchism is a system with no rulers, no bosses, and no government. People share things, make decisions together, and live equally. Started in France and Russia.

@MasterBolaji
Tried in Spain, Ukraine, Greece, Denmark. It works best in small groups, not in big countries

@MasterBolaji
Conclusion: Anarchism is an economic and social system where nobody is the boss, and everyone works together like a big family. People share, help one another, and make decisions together without needing a king, president, or big government.

@MasterBolaji
Even though it’s hard to use in big countries today, some small communities still believe in it and try to live that way. In the end, anarchism teaches us that people can live in peace and fairness when they care for each other and treat everyone equally—without fear or force.
