Single Idea 20452
[filed under theme 24. Political Theory / D. Ideologies / 2. Anarchism
]
Full Idea
Anarchism in the 1960s was libertarian and organised around issues of sexual liberation. That moment has passed. People are and should be organising around responsibility.
Gist of Idea
Anarchism used to be libertarian (especially for sexuality), but now concerns responsibility

A Reaction
So there are two types of anarchism, focused on freedom or on responsibility. An organisation like Greenpeace might represent the latter.
