Social anarchism

Social anarchism, also known as left-wing anarchism or socialist anarchism, is an anarchist tradition that sees individual liberty and social solidarity as interlinked. It advocates for a social revolution to eliminate hierarchical power structures, such as capitalism and the state, and establish economy based on collective ownership of means of production, distribution and economic planning. In their place, social anarchists encourage voluntary social collaboration through mutual aid and envision non-hierarchical forms of social organization, such as networks of popular assemblies and worker cooperatives. Identified with the socialist tradition of Mikhail Bakunin and Peter Kropotkin, social anarchism is often contrasted with individualist anarchism.
