If your knowledge of the history of anarchism is only slight or non-existent, don’t blame yourself too much. Anarchism has been misunderstood, marginalized, and criminalized as a philosophy and movement for decades. Luckily, a renaissance of scholarship is underway, slowly pushing back against persistent misconceptions. Early attention to anarchism and its history often came from outsiders who judged it by alien standards. What did these anarchists accomplish? Where are their political organizations, parties, and platforms? Well, now, anarchists never set out to build those things, at least not in a centralized manner or for electoral gain.
