The Anarchist Manifesto

The essay critiques modern-day society by laying out the State, capitalism, law enforcement and echo chambers as tools/bodies of oppression to suppress the individual self (“Unique"). By sharp analysis and unflinching rhetoric, it starts from the roots of feudalism to the Industrial Revolution until the present-day and asserts that capitalism, historically, has manufactured identity (“pseudo-self”) and several factors, delineated per section, coerce the proletarian into serving this flawed system through the agency of their might (“institutionalized might"). Ultimately, it contends only through dismantling class and hierarchies is liberation possible. It demands for chaos: sabotaging the system, rejecting authority and building voluntary associations (“Union of Egoists'”) via direct action, all while embracing a society without masters, without gods.
