A historical narrative for this article[edit]

As this article stands now, it is mostly a collection of short biographies and as such it does not achieve what it should which should be a historical narrative of anarchism in the United States. For this reason I have decided to work on that kind of article which I will work on here.--Eduen (talk) 05:49, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Anarchism in the United States[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Anarchism in the United States's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Avrich":

  • From Now and After: Avrich, p. 206.
  • From Anarchism and education: Avrich, Paul, The Modern School Movement. Princeton: Princeton University Press (1980); Avrich, Paul, Anarchist Portraits, Princeton: Princeton University Press, ISBN 0-691-00609-1 (1988)
  • From Mother Earth (journal): Avrich, Paul (1980). The Modern School Movement: Anarchism and Education in the United States, New York: AK Press. ISBN 1-904859-09-7

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 09:08, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of Right-wing Capitalism[edit]

I know wikipedia tends to skew left, but there's not even a mention of Rothbard, or any other Voluntarists, for that matter.

Wikipedia does not tend to "skew left." You're just so far right that anything moderate seems like communism. That you think Rothbard, Mises, and Hoppe belong in an article about socialism is baffling. Goldengirlsdeathsquad (talk) 18:24, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't & don't know anything about 'Voluntarists' and that idiot Rothbard, but here are what I suppose are links to them. UnderEducatedGeezer (talk) 00:51, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Anarchy in the United states[edit]

The article is possibly a content fork of this one. We could discuss merging/deletion over there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Anarchy_in_the_United_States#Merge_or_deletion Vectoor (talk) 11:34, 23 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've nominated that article for deletion now since everyone who commented seemed to agree that there was no use in merging anything Vectoor (talk) 01:04, 23 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Anarcho Capitalism?[edit]

I know many anarchists are opposed to the theory, but judging by the fact that it is uniquely an American concept that began in America and has grown to be popular amongst American libertarians, it should at least be mentioned. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.229.213.1 (talk) 12:27, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Anarcho-capitalism comes from a different ideological tradition entirely. It's a far right classically liberal ideology whereas the anarchism being discussed here is socialist. This would be like including nazism in an article about Marxism. Nazism stole the terminology from socialists in the same way that Rothbard stole "anarchism" from the anarchists, but the two have wholly different ideological lineages. Best to confine it to an article about far right politics or American classical liberalism. Goldengirlsdeathsquad (talk) 18:23, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This whole article is poorly written, so it's no surprise they didn't include anything on anarcho-capitalism. Reading through this felt like I was reading some tumblr-users attempt at a scholarly paper. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2D80:C407:A37A:F1BD:E1FD:6C48:3289 (talk) 22:43, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't there be a link SOMEWHERE in this article to...Anarchism??[edit]

I'd put a link in the very first word of this article to Anarchism, but I don't know if it's appropriate or acceptable to do that to the first word in an article. If no objections, I might eventually do that. Btw, I think anarchism is stupid. UnderEducatedGeezer (talk) 01:01, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Images[edit]

Hi. Upon reading this article I notice that almost all of the featured images in this article are -very- marginal people within the history of U.S Anarchism. I propose images changed on this article to reflect more well know lasting anarchists who resided in the U.S such as Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman for example to replace these practically unknowns such as Josiah Warren and William Batchelder Greene. — Preceding unsigned comment added by W1tchkr4ft 00 (talk • contribs) 16:31, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Incompleteness[edit]

Anarcho-capitalism isn’t included in an entry that misleads readers into thinking that it is a general coverage of anarchism in the US. If the entry’s purpose is to only discuss particular ideological tendencies, this should be reflected in the title. Jaqo (talk) 11:54, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Who was the American labor movement before anarcho-syndicalism?[edit]

???. Nonsense! They, the anarchists,built the American Labor movement. At the time anarchism might have been 1/3 of popular politics. That’s not to say everyone identified as anarchists per se, but the beautiful ideas are undeniably anarchistic.Both anarchism and ‘labor’ died from state repression and murder. 2601:801:400:9430:B010:9426:4F63:C96C (talk) 12:36, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
