The difference between anarchism and other ideologies is that there is no central author. It's simply a concept that's developed naturally. That's how i justify calling myself an anarchist.

There is no centralised manuscript, no single author who largely gave birth to the idea. The author of communism is to some degree Marx, the author of capitalism is to some degree Smith.

Anarchism does have recognized thinkers such as Kropotkin, Goldman and Bakunin, but they simply expanded upon an already existing idea.
