One of these days the controlling 'editor junto' will let this article be edited. One hopes. My theory: Anarcho-socialist sectarians (who control the article) don't want the article to reflect that most anarchists these days are anarcho-capitalists. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.180.250.20 (talk) 19:21, 18 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

With your multiple talk pages posts in the past months you must certainly know that if you want to edit this page you can either directly propose sentence changes or additions here or you can just make your own account (without even needing an email!). You could also just edit non-locked related to anarchism right now (like individualist anarchism, mutualism, Gift Economy, Green Anarchism, ect) to show your eagerness to contribute, which is far more productive than shouting into the void.

I would be interested to see where your sources are for such a statement - has there been a census on anarchists and their standings on communism and capitalism? Or is that your own unsubstantiated opinion? Ben Carpendale (talk) 15:51, 31 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The following section taken from History > Modern era, in the first paragraph, is difficult to parse:

"The first anarchist currents developed throughout the 19th century as William Godwin espoused philosophical anarchism in England, morally delegitimising the state, Max Stirner's thinking paved the way to individualism and Pierre-Joseph Proudhon's theory of mutualism found fertile soil in France."

I won't request an Oxford comma (since I presume it is not used consistently in this article), and I don't want to recommend something too drastic—especially since the parenthetical commas used in the first example are the main point I noticed could change. Maybe:

"The first anarchist currents developed throughout the 19th century; William Godwin espoused philosophical anarchism in England, morally delegitimising the state, while Max Stirner's thinking paved the way to individualism and Pierre-Joseph Proudhon's theory of mutualism found fertile soil in France." 5aikafxra (talk) 04:40, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Done but with a colon instead of a semicolon. Day Creature (talk) 05:26, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have noticed that this article proports to be written in British English, but frequently uses American English: "emphasizes", "prioritizes", "theorize", "organize", "civilization", "defense", etc. I believe these should be changed to their British English equivalents: "emphasises", "prioritises", "theorise", "organise", "civilisation", "defence", etc. Ben Carpendale (talk) 15:48, 31 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: according to the page's protection level, you should be able to edit the page yourself. If you seem to be unable to, please reopen the request with further details. Day Creature (talk) 19:07, 31 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
