It's a philosophy about the nature of political and economic power. It's hard to get more political than a political philosophy. About the only way is to find one whose proponents are particularly debate-y and prone to infighting, and fond of byzantine governing arrangements to avoid entrenched or coercive positions of power. Anarchism is typically focused on opposition to coercive or involuntary ruling arrangements. It's beenpoliticized as being in favor of chaos by people on the powerful end of said arrangements. Because they're against hierarchy, anarchist social arrangements typically require much more political involvement than others. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz -5 points 2 years ago In drag's opinion, involving someone in politics without their knowledge or consent is more political than simply teaching them to value and engage with politics of their free will. The consent violation makes it more political. Also in a liberal capitalist society, everything is politicised because everything costs money. In an anarchist society you just go to the grocer and take some food home. Under a capitalist regime, you have to exchange money backed by the state which represents a social construct of value exchange just to buy some bananas.
