lifestyle anarchy
a term coined by anarchist murray bookchin in his essay “social anarchism or lifestyle anarchism: an unbridgeable chasm”
lifestyle anarchism is the att-tude of an individual that calls himself an anarchist by being heavily individualistic without giving any thought to cl-ss struggle and an end to oppression.
a lifestyle anarchist does not concern himself with anarchist goals such as the destruction of hierarchical society, but instead focuses on changes to his own behavior – these can range from a though out (but still not really anarchist) desire to remove oneself from societal norms in the name of one’s will, to a mere stereotypical attempt to look like a tough bloke intent on creating disorder.
the word “lifestylist” can be occasionally seen in punk circles, as a form of insult, due to the pervasiveness of ‘punks’ that spend their time trying to look radical and pogoing to leftist lyrics while never really caring about politics.
however, lifestylism has become an all too common insult among anarchists nowadays that promotes sectarianism, by each different anarchist school of thought claiming others are merely lifestylists rather than real anarchists.
