Anarchist
Anarchy is primarily from the ancient Greek ἀναρχία (anarchia), which combines ἀ " without" and ἀρχή "rulers".
In 1840, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon used the term to refer to a political philosophy called anarchism, which advocates societies without a ruling class based on voluntary associations with legitimate property was the result of possession, labor and occupation.
- Anarchy does not mean a violent opposition to government.
- It does not even mean without government.
- It does not honestly mean without a leader.
- Anarchy is from the Greek, meaning no ruler.
It means without rulers who exercises authority one over the other.
It also does not mean "without laws".
The law of gravity existed before government.
The laws of physics were not made up by a legislature of physicists.
Nor were the laws of chemistry voted on by Chemists.
These laws of physics and chemistry were discovered and recognized.
The same is true of Natural Law.
The anarchist may debate what the Natural Law is but its existence must be accepted just like the laws of physics and chemistry etc..
The word "anarchy" in its original sense is about governing ourselves and coming together in some form of mutually connected society by voluntarism. Anarchy is government without Archists, without people who may call themselves Benefactors but exercises authority one over the other. It is about choosing for ourselves and providing for the needs of society without the dominion and control of others over the private lives and choices of its citizens. Anarchy is not about ruling over others and forcing our neighbors to do what we want, or to give us what we want.
Anarchy is about a government of the people, by the people and for the people -- under the Perfect law of liberty, rather than coveting our neighbor's goods through men who desire to rule over others - men who call themselves Benefactors but who want to be the conscripted fathers of the world.
"An" is a prefix meaning "without" and "archy" means "a ruler that exercises authority". You will never be without the threat of tyrants and despots until you give up the idea that it is okay to use force to rule over your neighbor to get benefits. Expect such threat until you stop coveting what belongs to your neighbor for your personal benefit, which was the message of Abraham, Moses, John the Baptist and yes even Jesus Christ.
The Beloved Anarchist
When I first heard of Christian Anarchism, I thought it was an oxymoron. Can you be a Christian and an anarchist?
The problem with this combination of ideas is that most people do not understand what “anarchism” was really all about, as a word describing an idea.
The other problem is that most people do not know what being a Christian means, either. They also do not understand Religion or the Christian conflict with governments like Rome at its early beginning. The truth is, the early Christian was accused of being an anarchist and even an atheist, because Jesus was their Beloved Anarchist.
Jesus comments and gives directives about not exercising authority one over the other, and the Benefactors of the world make him an anarchist. Since He was in agreement with Moses about treasuries and central banks, and since He agreed it was time to return every man to his family and possessions, He appears to be a Capitalist as well.
Certainly there are anarchists who want chaos, and they may wish to do evil, but the same is true of some so-called democracies and even Christians.
According to Wikipedia, “Anarchism is a political philosophy which considers the state undesirable, unnecessary, and harmful, and instead promotes a stateless society.”
While that might be a legitimate definition because it is misleading. All the power of the state originated in the people. All the potestas and imperium exercised by the State was originally with the individual in the state of nature before any social compact. With that in mind, many choose to not depend upon the corporate State as an institution. They do not want to depend upon its power to provide, because that power is based on taking choice away from their neighbors. To take the benefits of the State is to consent to the power of the State to rule over their neighbors and even themselves. They seek to to be in a natural state ov liberty and to Live as if the State does not exist.
Leaders without Rulers
To suggest that the Greek word for anarchy[1] (anarchía) literally means “lack of a leader” is misleading. The word leader is defined as a “person or thing that leads” “a guiding or directing head.” A leader does not necessarily have the power to order people to do anything. They merely take the lead; they step out first and everyone else must choose to follow or not follow. We may and should, as we see in the above definition, distinguish between a leader as a guide and rulers as a directing head.
The Greek word archon in the Bible is commonly translated ruler with a completely different Greek word translated leader and guide.[2]
A leader may only be a guide - who is typically passionate for their cause and has experience - with whom one identifies and follows through voluntary participation or association. So an anarchy is not absent of leaders, but absent of rulers.
A ruler (archon) is clearly one who forcibly commands others and/or is at or near the top of a bureaucracy or hierarchical system that controls society with an exercising authority[3].
The Bible translates the Greek word hodegos leader, or guide.[4] This Greek word is related to the idea of a journey. The leader leads on a journey, and he follows the way which seems right. What if the leader journeys on a path leading to folly?
If men can use you like Merchandise, it is usually because you asked them to rule someone else for your benefit. Then in taking that benefit, you yourself were snared or trapped under their authority[5].
When you make application to men who exercise authority one over the other thinking they are your Benefactor, you give them power that will come back to bite you. That is because, by doing so, you have chosen to take a bite out of one another[6] for personal gain as if you all had One purse, as if Socialism is benevolent in its nature.[7] Now, this is the way followed by leaders (hodegos) of a world (kosmos)[8], who, like Nimrod, offer something else instead of the way leading to heaven (ouranos). [9]
- They lead you on a socialist journey to become merchandise under leadership of rulers (archos) who exercise authority one over the other.
The Greek word archon is translated ruler 22 times, prince 11, chief twice and magistrate and chief ruler once each. It means “a ruler, commander, chief.” The ancient Greek anarchia (ἀναρχία) does not mean the "absence of a leader", but it means the absence of “a ruler, commander, chief.” In an anarchy, there may be many leaders but no “rulers, commanders, and chiefs.”
Is that not the kind of government described by Jesus to his faithful disciples at their appointment to His government? [10]
Was Christ actually setting His people free in spirit and in truth?
The Asylum State
Can there be a State which is also an anarchy?
There are at least two definitions of the word state.
The first is the particular condition that someone or something is in at a specific time.
And the second is a nation or territory considered as an organized political community under one government.
The phrase "organized political community under one government" can mean many different things depending on which form of government you are talking about since there are many forms of government.
To suggest that a “stateless society” means there is no government, would not do the history of man justice. To promote a stateless society might simply mean there is no desire for a centralized corporate state ruling over the people by coercive means.
But the term stateless society would not mean there are no leaders among the people.
It is possible that the term stateless is a misnomer. It may mean the nature or status of those leaders differs from a ruler or lawmaker state. If the leaders are truly titular[11] as they are in a pure republic then those that perform the duties of government have no actual power to exercise authority over the people. In truth they are to only serve, not rule over the people.
There are a number of characteristics that might be attributed to such a State in the sense of a political community. working definition of political community: one whose members have a real stake in political institutions and, for that reason, subject themselves to the decisions of those institutions.[1]
By that definition no one can "subject themselves to the decisions of those institutions" and be free. By this definition someone would be exercising authority one over the other. The people could not be free under such a state. The only way to have both a political community and a truly free people is that the State is separate from the people.
Forms of government
Natural Law is often contrasted with the positive law of a given political community, society, or state. And Natural law is where rights originated.
All government or State power or power of the State originates in the people. The rights of man are endowed by God but man may choose to endow governments with a portion of those rights or powers of choice. There are two ways to do that. One is you support the government by Freewill offerings and the other is when you give the power to government to force the offerings of all the people. The former requires, if we wish to call it "one form of government", a servant body of titular leaders who respect your right to choose but freely receive and freely give what you offer in support of the government. The latter has the power to force offerings and sacrifice from the people and has never been God's plan.
Obviously, the first operates by faith in their leaders, charity and hope in that system of love.
And just as obviously, the second depends upon Covetous Practices where the people give up their Liberty to choose to men who exercise authority.
What is commonly called the State is the result of the acts of people vesting power in another. That election of a man who could rule over the people even by the Voice of the People was called from the beginning a rejection of God[12] and carried with it a long list of consequences[13] prophesied by God through Samuel. God allows the people to make foolish choices and tells them that he will not hear their prayers if they do.
This was a matter of Common Sense [14] at one time in America.
In a true government of the people, for and by the people - natural rights remain with the people. Where the people remain in a “natural state” as God intended before the creation of a “social contract” (whether implied or actual, defacto or dejure), the power of government remained with the individual. In this natural “state of society” the power of choice (liberty or right to choose), called the potestas,[15]remained with every man within the family. [16]
The Romans called this form of government libera res publica, which means free from things public. It is this phrase which is the origin of the Latin word republica. But over time the word developed two senses and uses. A Republic in one sense is “that form of government in which the administration of affairs is open to all the citizens. In another sense, it signifies the state, independently of its government.”[17]
In the latter sense we can envision a republic as a system where the people retain their rights, hold the power of the state and the ministers are titular servants of the people. In such systems taxes remain voluntary and it is every man’s responsibility to protect his neighbor as he would desire to be protected by his neighbor. What would hold such a society together as a nation? Are there examples of such a government anywhere in man's history?
There is a rich history of such governments and nations operating as diversified networks of voluntary systems of faith, hope, and charity. In fact, “our modern reliance on government to make law and establish order is not the historical norm.” [18]
Modern history books have not only removed this record of independent and successful voluntary government but have expunged the concept from our thinking until we cannot even imagine the possibility of such a government.
Israel for almost 400 years operating with no central authority in their government, with little more than freewill offerings for support and an all voluntary army thrived as a nation. We also have the early Christians surviving and even thriving during the decline and fall of the Roman Empire under off and on persecutions. Christians said there was another king and because of their faith in Christ excluded themselves from the welfare [19] of the Roman socialist state [20] and provided for themselves through one of those networks of faith, hope and charity.
Christ taught the gospel of love, like Moses and Abraham [21] and His ministers warned us not to covet our neighbor's goods [22] or make agreements with unbelievers. [23]

Religion of Anarchism
When society has no legal bounds between the parties within the community to coerce them to do righteousness in order to maintain the liberty one must exercise their responsibility to God and neighbor to retain their rights. Without legal bonds limiting the rights of the people in free society the emphases is upon relationship rather than any social contract itself.
Those relationships require diligence in voluntarism, forgiveness and giving. The slothful should be under tribute. [24] At one time this diligence within society was called Pure Religion. But when people do not care about the rights of their neighbor they must redefine the term Religion.
A government where taxes are voluntary would require a peculiar kind of people. Their citizenship would have to be written upon their hearts and their minds. They would have to exercise their divine responsibilities to maintain their individual right as kings of their own house by aiding their fellow citizen in doing the same. It would require a citizenry that did not steal, injure or even covet his neighbor's goods or family. It would require that every natural citizen to come at a minute's notice to the aid of his neighbor to protect their God-given rights.
This would mean they would have to love the righteousness of God and their neighbor as much as themselves. This of course was required when Christ appointed a kingdom, His government, to his faithful disciples . His prime directive to the people [25] included the decree for those who would lead that they were not to exercise authority one over the other. Yet, His government ministers of His appointed kingdom were not to be rulers (archo). They were expected to be the benefactor to the people[26] by the free will contributions of the people, for the people, in pure religion.[27]
The Corban of the Christians was not like that of the Pharisees - nor that of the modern State.[28]If an anarchy is a way of governing ourselves without the coercive rulers of the corporate state then Christ preached anarchy for the righteous. But the voice of the evil [29] people who fear liberty [30] are slothful, rejecting God, elect rulers who do exercise authority. They and are snared in a net of their own making.[31]No people, no nation, can be free nor should be free, as long as they covet their neighbor's goods through the socialist state, through rulers and lawmakers who exercise authority one over the other. If they have entered into such covetous schemes their only hope is to repent and seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness. They must form a body of free assemblies bound by faith, hope and charity alone which is righteousness. [32]
This is what the early Church did and the modern Church has failed to do.

- ↑ Proverbs 1:10-19 “My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not. If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause: Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit: We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil: Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse: My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path: For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood. Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird. And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives. So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.”
