Anarchists

Real World Example

During the period of Nationalism Triumphs in Europe from 1800-1915, anarchists were individuals who opposed the growing trend of centralized national governments, which they viewed as oppressive. Anarchists like Mikhail Bakunin and Peter Kropotkin advocated for a society without hierarchies, believing in self-governed communities. Their actions and writings challenged governments and inspired various movements, pushing for social and political reforms. Today, their legacy remains influential in grassroots activism and movements that emphasize direct democracy and community control, such as the Occupy Wall Street movement. This modern example shows how anarchists' ideas continue to inspire those seeking to create a more equal and fair society by challenging traditional power structures.
