Anarchism is a perennially misunderstood idea. Far from representing violence and chaos, anarchism is a form of praxis centered on nonhierarchical organization and the practice of mutual aid, implemented through the everyday politics of direct action, voluntary association, and self‐management. Although they are often misrepresented as an ideology solely concerned with the destruction of the state, the power of anarchist geographies resides in their integrality, which refuses to assign priority to any one of the multiple dominating apparatuses that constrain our lives, as all are seen as irreducible to one another. Anarchism is the struggle against all forms of oppression and exploitation, a protean and multivariate process that is decidedly geographical.
