Anarchism and liberalism
For anarchism -
A political ideology and movement known as anarchism rejects all grounds for power and works to dismantle the institutions..
Egalitarianism: Anarchism advocates the notion that all people are equal and deserve to have equal access to resources and opportunities, which may result in a society with greater equity.
Freedom: Anarchism places a high importance on individual liberty and rejects obligation and control, which can result in a society that is more open and free.
Community - Anarchism emphasises the importance of community and mutual aid, which may strengthen interpersonal ties and promote a more cooperative and supportive society.
Nonviolence: Anarchism forbids the use of force of any kind, which might result in a more calm and nonviolent society.
Against anarchism
Absence of a concentrated authority: Anarchy and disorder are possible without a centralised authority to enforce laws and regulations.
Lack of clearly defined decision-making procedures: In anarchist systems, decision-making might be more diffuse and decentralized, which can make it challenging to come to consensus and make group decisions.
Even while anarchism promotes non-violence, the lack of a centralised authority may lead to situations where there is violence and conflict.
For liberalism
Individual freedom, equality, and the defence of individual rights are the fundamental principles of the political philosophy known as liberalism.
Individual freedom and independence are important to liberalism because they enable people to pursue their own goals and interests without intervention from the government.
Protection of individual rights: Liberalism strongly emphasises the protection of individual rights, including freedom of expression, religion, and association, in order to prevent unfair bias and repression against individuals.
Democratic governance: Liberalism supports the idea of democratic governance, which enables people to take part in politics and hold their government officials accountable.
Against liberalism
Critics argue that liberalism's emphasis on individual freedoms and rights might increase inequality because it may lead to more wealthy and powerful people focusing more on their interests over those of the not so wealthy.
Exploitation: Liberalism's support for free-market capitalism can result in the exploitation of employees and the destruction of the environment as businesses put their own interests above those of the public good and the environment.
Weak social safety net: Liberals tend to place more of an emphasis on personal responsibility, which can make the state less likely to help individuals in need.
A lack of community and social cohesion may result from liberalism's emphasis on independence and personal responsibility.
