# Welcome to /r/Anarchy101!

Anarchy101 is for any questions about:

* the theory and history of anarchism
* current events in their relation to anarchist theory and practice
* socialist or communist theory in its relation to anarchist ideas. 

No question is too basic (or advanced!) to ask, so don't be shy :)

### Guidelines

**Read the [Anarchism in a nutshell](https://www.reddit.com/r/Anarchy101/wiki/nutshell) page of the wiki.**

---

**Please do not debate, or post in an antagonistic manner. /r/Anarchy101 is only intended for educational discussion, not to "disprove" anarchism - consider /r/DebateAnarchism if you are interested in debate.**

---

**Feel free to assign yourself a descriptive user flair, but please do not allow our flair experiment to become an excuse for sectarian conflict. Embrace a bit of the spirit of *anarchism without adjectives* while you are here.**

---

**Additionally, a foundational premise of the sub is that *all anarchists are anti-capitalism and anti-state.* This is not up for debate.**

---

**Please do not discuss events from other subreddits. This is not a brigade, drama, or SRS-style sub. Posts and comments about other subreddits will be removed.**

---

**Please use the report button if you see any antagonistic, rude, oppressive or clearly incorrect comments.**

---

**Do NOT downvote or criticise what you consider to be a simple or "stupid" question. This is a place for learning and education, everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt.**

For the general anarchism subreddit, check out /r/Anarchism. To learn about other communist philosophies, try /r/Communism101.

Review the [**Anti-Oppression Policy**](/r/anarchy101/wiki/aop) to see how you can help make space for marginalized people.

###Before you post!

* Do a quick search to see if your exact question has been answered before.

* Read the [Anarchism in a nutshell](https://www.reddit.com/r/Anarchy101/wiki/nutshell) page in the wiki.

* Use a descriptive post title. Put your question in the title, if you can.
 * **Good:** "How does the state support capitalism?", "A few questions regarding natural rights and communism."
 * **Bad:** "I don't understand.", "A few questions."

Are there any good novels or narrative style writings that explain some anarchist theory?
