Anarchy (from Greek: αναρχία anarchía, "without ruler"😉 may refer to any of the following:
"Absence of government; a state of lawlessness due to the absence or inefficiency of the supreme power; political disorder."[1]
"A theoretical social state in which there is no governing person or body of persons, but each individual has absolute liberty (without the implication of disorder)."[2]
"Absence or non-recognition of authority and order in any given sphere."[3]
Without government or law
A state, free from coercive authority of any kind, is the goal of proponents of the political philosophy of anarchism (anarchists).
Alan Moore is among many artists influenced by anarchism. A comic book writer, his work has expressed sex-positive, anti-nuclear, environmentalist, and anarchist themes. His celebrated graphic novel V for Vendetta pits an anarchist vigilante against a fascist dictatorship. He decried the film version of the story for its substitution of anarchist themes with American liberal values.
