{{Anarchism in Gylias}}
{{Politics of Gylias}}

'''Anarchism in Gylias''' has been a major presence and contributor to Gylian [[Culture of Gylias#Society|society]] and [[Politics of Gylias|politics]]. Gylias has had one of the strongest anarchist movements in [[Tyran]], with a rich history and important role in Gylian life.

Numerous variants of anarchism exist in [[Gylias]], some notably overlapping with [[Communism in Gylias|communism]] and [[Socialism in Gylias|socialism]]. The predominant current is {{wpl|social anarchism}}, with a significant {{wpl|individualist anarchism|individualist}} minority. The defining characteristic advocating the replacement of the state and unjust hierarchies with self-managed, self-governed societies based on voluntary, {{wpl|cooperative}} institutions.

Anarchism is situated on the {{wpl|left-wing politics|left}} to {{wpl|far-left}} of [[Politics of Gylias|Gylian politics]]. Numerous parties and formations represent it at the federal level, including the {{G-DCP}}, {{G-DL}}, and {{G-LSL}} in the {{G-PA}}, the {{G-FSP}} in the {{G-LU}}, and the {{G-FVU}}, {{G-LND}}, {{G-LSDP}}, {{G-PP-CM}}, {{G-RFS}}, and {{G-UI}} among {{G-NI}}.

==Terminology==
Historically, anarchists have fought with statists and similar currents for primacy within the [[Communism in Gylias|communist]] and [[Socialism in Gylias|socialist]] movements. As a result, "anarchist" or "libertarian" are common descriptor labels attached to other ideologies.

{{wpl|Anarchism without adjectives|Anarchists without adjectives}} and {{wpl|synthesis anarchism|synthesis anarchists}} have criticised the use of different qualifying labels for various schools of thought, preferring to be known simply as "anarchists".

==Characteristics==
Gylian anarchism advocates the abolition of the state and unjust hierarchies, to be replaced with self-managed, self-governed societies based on voluntary, {{wpl|cooperative}} institutions. Some describe these institutions as {{wpl|stateless society|stateless societies}}, while others call them {{wpl|Free association (Marxism and anarchism)|free associations}}.

The flexibility of the anarchist philosophy has allowed it to attain presence and influence over Gylias' major political movements and ideologies. Such has been their success that even the Gylian far-right has adopted {{wpl|national anarchism|an anarchist veneer}} for their worldview.

{{wpl|Prefigurative politics}} and {{wpl|social revolution}} are major themes of anarchism, which accordingly takes strongly {{wpl|libertarian}} stances on social issues, and advocates {{wpl|decentralisation}}, {{wpl|localism (politics)|localism}}, and {{wpl|subsidiarity}} politically. Owing to their {{wpl|utopian socialism|utopian}} current, Gylian anarchists have made major contributions to social philosophy and [[Political culture of Gylias|political culture]], championing {{wpl|Emma Goldman#Anarchism|"everyone's right to beautiful, radiant things"}}.

==Variants==
Several parties exist that represent anarchism at the [[Politics of Gylias#Federal|federal level]], although some refuse to label themselves "parties", preferring other terms like "union", "movement", or "rally". They are not concentrated in a single {{wpl|electoral bloc}}, but rather dispersed among various blocs.

In the {{G-PA}}, the {{G-DCP}} strives to be the main vehicle for {{wpl|anarcho-communism}}, the {{G-DL}} emphasises {{wpl|council communism}}, and the {{G-LSL}} {{wpl|anarcho-syndicalism}}. In the {{G-LU}}, the {{G-FSP}} represents {{wpl|left-wing market anarchism}} and {{wpl|Mutualism (economic theory)|mutualism}}.

A diverse range of anarchist beliefs is present among {{G-NI}}, including the centre-right market anarchist tradition ({{G-FVU}}, {{G-RFS}}, {{G-UI}}), {{wpl|synthesis anarchism}} ({{G-PP-CM}}), {{wpl|anarcho-naturism}} ({{G-LND}}), and [[acid communism]] ({{G-LSDP}}).

Due to the broad overlap of communism, socialism, and anarchism, formations that can be considered anarchist or anarchist-allied include the [[Socialism in Gylias#Libertarian socialism|libertarian socialist]] {{G-SP}} and the {{wpl|eco-socialism|eco-socialist}} {{G-GP}}. The {{wpl|pirate politics|ideology}} of the {{G-Pirates}} also shares common interests and preoccupations with anarchism.

===Left anarchism===
Gylian anarchism is dominated by {{wpl|collectivist anarchism|collectivist}} and {{wpl|social anarchism|social}} currents. The major forms of leftist anarchism are {{wpl|anarcho-communism}}, {{wpl|libertarian socialism}}, and {{wpl|anarcho-syndicalism}}.

All three strands are united by their advocacy of {{wpl|co-operative economics|cooperativism}} and the end goal of abolishing money. Differences arise over strategies, tactics, and plans for a moneyless society.

Anarcho-syndicalism has been a major current in the [[Economy of Gylias#Labour|Gylian labour movement]], and has a strong presence in the [[General Council of Workers' Unions and Associations]].

===Right anarchism===
{{wpl|Individualist anarchism}} forms a significant minority in Gylian anarchism, with its own historical tradition and a colourful role in Gylian politics. The term "right anarchism" is used to contrast with the more collectivist orientation of social anarchism: Gylian individualist anarchism remains firmly on the left by any measure.

The most famous manifestation of the current is market anarchism, which advocates {{wpl|free market}}s in the context of abolition of capitalism and the state, incorporating elements of {{wpl|Mutualism (economic theory)|mutualism}} and {{wpl|agorism}}. To avoid confusion with the capitalist use of "free market", market anarchists prefer [[Iana Rynai]]'s term "emancipated markets" to describe their ideal.

Market anarchists are renowned for cultivating an image of androgynous, decadent glamour strongly inspired by {{wpl|Weimar culture}}, which has made them [[Political culture of Gylias#Elections|a famous eccentric presence in mainstream politics]].

[[Conservatism in Gylias|Conservatives]] and [[Liberalism in Gylias|liberals]] have also made notable use of the individualist tradition to adapt to the radical changes in Gylian politics, giving rise to some currents of [[Conservatism in Gylias#Free Territories|"anarcho-conservatism"]] and [[Liberalism in Gylias#Free Territories|"anarcho-liberalism"]].

===Lifestylism===
{{wpl|lifestyle anarchism|Lifestylism}} or "lifestyle anarchism" is a label used for anarchists who put more emphasis on {{wpl|social revolution}}, {{wpl|prefigurative politics|prefigurativism}}, and culture or identity than economics or politics. The label is mostly used humorously, although some social anarchists have used it to criticise the current's lack of commitment to revolution.

Lifestylist currents include {{wpl|anarcho-naturism}} and {{wpl|anarcho-primitivism}}. The schools of {{wpl|anarcha-feminism}} and {{wpl|queer anarchism}} as a whole are not considered part due to their strong anti-capitalist focus, but some subgroups of it can be considered lifestylist.

Several strongly progressive and libertarian aspects of [[Culture of Gylias#Society|Gylian society]] — especially [[Gender and sexuality in Gylias|gender and sexuality]], [[Pornography in Gylias|pornography]], [[Prostitution in Gylias|sex work]], and [[Drugs in Gylias|drugs]] — are the focus of currents that emphasise their role in the liberation of the individual and construction of a stateless society. These have received humorous nicknames such as [[Pornography in Gylias#Politics|"pornmunism"]], [[Drugs in Gylias#Independence|"acid communism"]], [[Prostitution in Gylias|"sexarchism"]]. [[Internet in Gylias|"Cyberanarchism"]] is another notable one.

[[Acid communism]] is perhaps the best-known lifestylist strand. It emphasises the {{wpl|utopian socialism|utopian}} and experimental sensibilities of radicalism, and the emancipatory role of [[Drugs in Gylias|psychedelic drugs]], which can serve as a tool of progress, personal development, and the construction of solidarity. 

Among Gylian anarchists, acid communism has had the strongest concentration on the role of drugs and [[Culture of Gylias|popular culture]] in social revolution, and thus has had a significant impact on popular culture and the arts, through exploring and organising the solidarist, collective elements of the {{wpl|avant-garde}}, dance culture, and {{wpl|nightlife}}.

===Others===
Gylian anarchists do not consider {{wpl|anarchism and capitalism|capitalism compatible with anarchism at all}}, and thus the term "anarcho-capitalism" is rejected and its adherents ostracised. "{{wpl|Right-libertarianism}}" is also [[Liberalism in Gylias#Terminology|strongly circumscribed or used pejoratively]], prefaced by {{wpl|self-proclaimed|''soi-disant''}}. It is dismissed as an attempt by right-wingers to hijack the leftist tradition of libertarianism.

"Anarchaos" is the label used for a {{wpl|post-anarchism|post-anarchist}} and {{wpl|egoist anarchism|egoist}} tendency that emerged in the 1960s. It made minor contributions by originating the concept of {{wpl|temporary autonomous zone}}s, which would later be developed by [[acid communism]]. "Anarchaotics" were involved in founding the {{G-LSDP}}, although they were expelled quickly due to factional conflict.

The Gylian far-right has attempted to use {{wpl|national-anarchism|anarchist rhetoric and imagery}} to further its ideology, which is resisted by anarchists.

==History==
Ideas resembling anarchism have a long history in Gylias, dating back to the [[Liúşai League]]. The extent to which League societies reflected {{wpl|primitive communism}} is a matter of debate among historians and leftist thinkers. However, broad "anarchic elements" are accepted to have been present in League societies, including {{wpl|common land|common ownership of land}}, relatively horizontal political structure and absence of classes, and an ancient tradition of {{wpl|direct democracy}}.

===Xevden===
The experience of oppression, discrimination, and impoverishment under [[Xevden]] was the main catalyst for the development of anarchist thought in the 19th century.

The emergence of anarchism is intertwined with those of [[Socialism in Gylias|socialism]] and [[Communism in Gylias|communism]]. Anarchists mainly emerged out of the [[History of Gylias#Gylian ascendancy|"confrontationist" faction]] of the Gylian opposition, after the revolutions of [[Gylian revolution of 1848|1848]] and [[Glorious Rebellion|1856–1868]], taking a more revolutionary and insurrectionist stance.

Anarchism played a key role in the [[Gylian ascendancy]], particularly in the creation of {{wpl|mutual organisation}}s and [[Economy of Gylias#Cooperatives|cooperatives]] to improve Gylians' economic condition. They were also involved with the [[History of Gylias#Xevden|''kyðoi'']], whose transformation from native bandits and guerrilla fighters into modern freedom fighters occurred through the influence of {{wpl|individualist anarchism}} and {{wpl|illegalism}}.

Informal anarchist movements developed in Xevden, giving them a presence in the [[History of Gylias#Gylian ascendancy|"constitutionalist" faction]] of the Gylian opposition. Through the revolutions of 1848 and 1856–1868, they established links with communists, socialists, and [[Liberalism in Gylias|liberals]].

The establishment of the [[Ruvelkan Socialist Republic]] in 1867, one of the first explicitly socialist states in [[Tyran]], had a galvanising impact on the broader Gylian left. Gylian anarchists looked to Ruvelkan anarchists as important allies and models, and the gradual split between anarchists and communists in Ruvelka was reflected in the anarchist–libertarian and statist–authoritarian battles over supremacy in the [[Communism in Gylias|communist]] and [[Socialism in Gylias|socialist]] movements.

King Karnaz's 1902 coup and subsequent repression caused anarchists, communists, socialists, and other radicals to gain ground at the expense of [[Conservatism in Gylias|conservatives]] and [[Liberalism in Gylias|liberals]] in the [[History of Gylias#Xevden's disintegration|ensuing disintegration]].

===Alscia===
The establishment of [[Alscia]] in 1908 provided fertile ground for Gylian anarchism to grow. Within in the [[Cacertian Empire]], the [[Alscia#The "hurried province"|"hurried province"]] experienced great economic and social development. The [[Donatellism|left-liberal]] policies of the [[Donatella Rossetti government]] produced a stream of legislation and regulation that improved working and social conditions, a [[Alscia#Cooperatives|strong]] [[Economy of Gylias#Cooperatives|cooperative sector]], and significant advances in [[Gender and sexuality in Gylias#Alscia|women's rights and LGBT rights]].

The government's confrontational policy towards [[Xevden]], manifested in the [[Alscian Border War]] and efforts to bolster the Gylian opposition in Xevden, helped make Alscia a [[Alscia#Radicalism|nexus for Gylian radicals]]. The public's increasing exposure to anarchism, socialism, and communism had the effect of radicalising Alscia itself. Anarchists drew the strongest benefit from this process, as they established a strong presence in the Gylian left, and the experience of resisting Xevdenite oppression made their goal of abolishing the state more attractive.

Anarchists made inroads into the Alscian labour movement, published newspapers and periodicals, formed organisations, communities, and {{wpl|affinity group}}s, and established {{wpl|autonomous social centre|community centres}}, {{wpl|autonomous social centre#Free schools|free schools}}, and {{wpl|Mutual aid (organization theory)|mutual aid}} organisations. In pop culture, it had a notable presence through the [[Anarchofuturist Association of Alscia]], which sought to reclaim {{wpl|futurism}} from association with the {{wpl|Futurism#1920s and 1930s|Political Futurist}} regimes in [[Megelan]] and [[Æþurheim]].

}}

[[Izai Sesaþ]] was a key figure in the popularisation of anarchism. She authored ''L'ABCd'anarchie'' (''The ABC of Anarchism''), also nicknamed "the little black book", which garnered acclaim for its encyclopaedic coverage and readability. It became one of the most widely-read political works in Alscia, and inspired numerous adherents to join the anarchist movement.

Outside of the "little black book", Izai was a [[Socialism in Gylias#Libertarian socialism|libertarian socialist]]. She covered and summarised the different schools of {{wpl|social anarchism}} fairly, but poured scorn on ''{{wpl|laissez-faire}}'' capitalism and {{wpl|classical liberalism}}, making her a precursor to Gylian anarchists' battles with capitalists. 

She was critical of [[Feminism in Gylias|Alscian feminism]] for its focus on state action to achieve female equality, and supported autonomism and "the ruthless subjection of all received ideas and conventional morality to critical inquiry."

[[Lucretia Pecunia Mercator]] is generally considered the founding figure of Gylian market anarchism. Influenced by {{wpl|individualist anarchism}}, she championed an anti-capitalist and anti-statist conception of {{wpl|free market}}s, envisioning a society formed by {{wpl|Free association (Marxism and anarchism)|free association}} of self-employed workers and farmers, based on {{wpl|usufruct}} and {{wpl|Mutualism (economic theory)|mutualism}}, with the abolition of the state, capitalism, and wage labour.

Lucretia had a talent for poetic descriptions of her radically freed markets, which to many readers helped associate voluntary markets with ideals of liberty and emancipation, while her opposition to capitalism and wage labour still placed her within the {{wpl|left-wing market anarchism|leftist tradition}}. 

Her most significant contribution was arguably her public image: she dressed in masculine {{wpl|tuxedo}}es and led a bohemian, {{wpl|tomboy}}ish lifestyle, marked by drinking, smoking, drug use, and numerous sexual encounters. As a long-serving independent member of the [[Alscia#Legislative Council|Legislative Council]], she thus established the androgynous and decadently glamorous image that market anarchists would embrace and refine.

The [[1914 December Uprising]] and subsequent [[Ruvelkan Civil War]] had a significant impact on Gylian anarchism. Ties between Alscian and Ruvelkan anarchists deepened, with the Ruvelkan [[Ruvelkan Civil War#Other Factions|Free Territories]] becoming an important inspiration. The eventual victory of the [[Imperial Separatist Movement of Ruvelka|Imperial Separatists]] was taken as a lesson in the dangers of compromise with authoritarians, one reinforced by the [[Megelan]]ese civil war. The statist and {{wpl|authoritarian socialism|authoritarian}} currents of the Alscian left lost ground to the anarchist and libertarian ones as a result of coverage of the two civil wars.

===Free Territories===
Anarchism played a central role in the [[Liberation War (Gylias)|Liberation War]] and the ultimate victory against Xevden. The [[Free Territories (Gylias)|Free Territories]], proclaimed in 1938, were based on anarchist principles. Their far-reaching economic and {{wpl|social revolution}} became the culmination of the Gylian radicalism and resistance that had grown since the 19th century, and the greatest achievement of Gylian anarchism.

The Free Territories put their economy under worker control. {{wpl|Workers' council}}s took over factories and workplaces, rural areas were collectivised and run as agrarian {{wpl|commune}}s, and [[Communal assemblies (Gylias)|communal assemblies]] were set up to govern cities and villages through {{wpl|direct democracy}}. Anarchist organisation allowed for experimentation and coexistence of multiple ideologies and economic systems. Notable experiments in abolishing money and creating a moneyless economy took place. {{wpl|Cooperative}}s became the basis of the economy, while [[Community markets (Gylias)|community markets]] and [[Merchants (Gylias)|merchants]] became crucial parts of daily life.

The Free Territories also carried out a radical {{wpl|social revolution}}, seeking to eradicate oppressive norms and create a liberated society. Feminism and LGBT rights experienced great advances: discriminatory laws were abolished, equality between sexes and recognition of {{wpl|third gender}}s was restored, and {{wpl|free love}} and {{wpl|sex education}} were promoted. Formal education was replaced by [[Education in Gylias#History|volunteer classes]] based on {{wpl|democratic education|democratic}} principles. 

The anarchists paid much attention to culture and entertainment, resulting in the organisation of sports clubs, outdoor performances, publishing houses, graffiti, traveling {{wpl|cinemathèque}}s, and similar forms of non-monetary entertainment. {{wpl|Prefigurative politics}} and {{wpl|utopianism}} became major themes of the Free Territories' culture.

The largest currents of {{wpl|social anarchism|social}}–{{wpl|collectivist anarchism|collectivist}} and {{wpl|individualist anarchism}} consolidated, while {{wpl|anarcho-syndicalism}} became a major force through its role in the [[Economy of Gylias#Labour|labour movement]]. Major anarchist organisations, including the [[Anarchist Federation]] and [[Revolutionary Youth Union]], were established.

<!-- [[File:Louise Bryant.jpg|thumb|200px|right|[[Luisa Braglia]]]] -->
Many significant anarchist figures achieved prominence or began their careers in the Free Territories. The Cacertian journalist [[Luisa Braglia]] became known for her influential, sympathetic coverage of the Free Territories. Her extensive travels during the Liberation War and interviews with significant figures appeared in the Cacertian press and subsequently collected in books. Her news stories, together with [[Sofia Westergaard]]'s official reports, became crucial and influential accounts in the historiography of the Free Territories.

}}
[[Maria Antónia]] was an influential theorist of {{wpl|anarcho-communism}}. Her writings affirmed the complementary role of the communist, syndicalist, and individualist schools of anarchism in the revolution, making her a forerunner of {{wpl|synthesis anarchism}}, and touched on issues pertinent to the Free Territories, such as {{wpl|insurrectionary anarchism|insurrectionism}}, {{wpl|illegalism}}, and how {{wpl|Anarchism and violence|violence}} and {{wpl|dual power}} could be combined as strategies.

[[Iana Rynai]] was a [[Socialism in Gylias#Libertarian socialism|libertarian socialist]] who sought to fuse anarcho-syndicalism with [[Liberalism in Gylias#Geoliberalism|geoliberalism]]. She focused on [[Political culture of Gylias#Economic development|agriculture as the backbone of the economy]], proposing a society based on {{wpl|common ownership}} of land, {{wpl|land value tax}}, {{wpl|usufruct}}, and a {{wpl|citizen's dividend}} as a {{wpl|social safety net}}. 

Her best-known contribution was coining the term "emancipated markets" to describe anarchist radically freed markets, which market anarchists embraced and subsequently became standard in Gylian politics.

Throughout the war, the conflict between anarchists–libertarians and statists–authoritarians deepened. Although both sides formed a wartime [[History of Gylias#Liberation War|"alliance of convenience"]], tensions remained strong as both struggled for hegemony over the Gylian left. The anarchists built up a {{wpl|popular front}}, joining forces with [[Liberalism in Gylias|liberals]] and [[Conservatism in Gylias#Free Territories|"constructive" conservatives]] to resist authoritarianism.

The conflict gained a notable cultural dimension: authoritarians were eager to simply destroy anything associated with Xevden in pursuit of a {{wpl|Year Zero (political notion)|Year Zero}}, and tended to glorify "simple" farmers and workers. In response, anarchists embraced the utopian tradition passed down through [[Mary Grant]], emphasising the reappropriation and socialisation of former {{wpl|status symbol}}s, and favoured unity between the proletariat and intellectuals and artists. The ethos of the {{wpl|Joseph Déjacque|"right to satisfaction of one's needs"}} also served to distance anarchists from authoritarians' association with "bureaucratism, greyness, austerity, and dullness".

The battle for control over the communist and socialist movements also caused a less pronounced split within anarchism, from {{wpl|anarcho-pacifism|pacifists}} who objected to use of violence. However, during the war, anarchists as a whole adopted a dual tactic, described by Sofia and Luisa. On one hand, "rationing the use of violence" — allowing for popular reprisals against hated figures (particularly landlords, exploiters, and bigots), but preferring public humiliation. On the other, "buying out" well-regarded civic and artistic figures through the [[honoured citizens list]].

A lesser disagreement emerged in the second phase of the war, as anarchists' advocacy of immediate abolition of the state was countered by [[Liberalism in Gylias|liberals]]' argument for the preservation of the state in order to use its coordination mechanisms to achieve rapid economic development. The debate influenced some anarchists, especially [[Darnan Cyras]], the [[Freeman family|Freeman sisters]], and the ''[[ferroses]]'', to move towards a {{wpl|withering away of the state}} position, which caused some controversy.

The "alliance of convenience" was finally broken by the [[Lucian Purge]] in 1956, which removed statists–authoritarians from public life.

===Gylias===
The end of the Liberation War put the left in a leading position at Gylian independence, with the anarchists now enjoying dominance in it. The {{G-DCP}}, established as an anarcho-communist organisation, won a plurality in the [[Gylian federal election, 1958|1958 federal election]], and together with the {{G-SP}} and {{G-SDP}} formed the largest bloc in the [[Gylian Parliament|Popular Assembly]].

The [[National Obligation period]] saw the preservation of much of the Free Territories' features in the transition to Gylias. Anarchists took part in the popular drafting process that produced the [[Constitution of Gylias|Constitution]] and [[Law of Gylias#Legal foundations|six codes of law]]. Although giving [[Liberalism in Gylias|liberals]] and [[Conservatism in Gylias#Free Territories|"constructive" conservatives]] symbolic concessions in the [[Constitution of Gylias|"miserable compromise"]], anarchists succeeded in preserving the anarchist foundation: {{wpl|direct democracy}} through [[Communal assemblies (Gylias)|communal assemblies]], {{wpl|common ownership}}, {{wpl|workers' self-management}}, and the extreme constraint of state-like aspects through {{wpl|subsidiarity}} and wide dispersal of power.

The [[Law on Electoral Representation of 1960|1960 electoral reform]] led to a proliferation of new parties. The {{G-PA}} was set up as the left's main {{wpl|electoral bloc}}, reuniting libertarian socialists and anarcho-communists. Other anarchist formations emerged, including the {{G-FSP}} in the {{G-LU}}, and the {{G-UI}}, which initially reunited much market anarchist support. The [[Anarchist Federation|AF/FA]] remained outside electoral politics, but worked as an unofficial {{wpl|pressure group}} focused on steering the whole political spectrum towards anarchism.

Freed from the constraints of war, the anarchist model of the Free Territories was expanded and deepened throughout Gylias. The [[Gylian consensus]] created preserved the coexistence of multiple models within a framework of {{wpl|Lange model}} {{wpl|market socialism}}. The voluntary associations, organisations, and social centres created in the Free Territories were confederated into the [[Committees for the Advance of the Revolution]], gaining an explicitly revolutionary focus.

Anarchism's greatest impact was arguably in the [[Golden Revolution]], which ushered in massive transformation of Gylian society and culture. Social libertarianism found famous outlets in [[Gender and sexuality in Gylias|gender and sexual liberation]], and regulation of [[Drugs in Gylias|drugs]] and [[Prostitution in Gylias|sex work]]. New {{wpl|art colony|art colonies}}, {{wpl|intentional community|intentional communities}}, and {{wpl|back-to-the-land movement}}s proliferated, helping stabilise and transform the countryside, while in urban areas anarchists allied with [[Demopolis|demopolitans]] to radically re-envision and transform city life. A thriving popular culture scene emerged, known as [[Groovy Gylias]], which subsequently had an impact abroad through the [[Gylian Invasion]].

}}
This was a fertile context for the emergence of {{wpl|lifestyle anarchism|lifestylist}} strands of anarchism. The best-known of these is undoubtedly [[acid communism]]. Formulated by married couple [[Marie-Hélène Arnaud]] and [[Janet Randy]], acid communism brought the [[Drugs in Gylias#Independence|"psychedelic revolution"]] to anarchism. It championed the emancipatory role of psychedelics, and argued for the importance of utopian experimentation and the avant-garde in expanding popular imagination and building solidarity.

The brief flaring of [[Anarchism in Gylias#Others|"anarchaos"]] during protests in 1968, inspired by similar protests in [[Akashi]] and [[Delliria]], ultimately had negligible impact, apart from exposing the latent tensions caused by the [[Darnan Cyras government]]'s turn towards withering away of the state and {{wpl|the long march through the institutions}} as a strategy.

The "anarchaotics" inadvertently aided the organisation of acid communism as a distinctive tendency, playing a role in creating the {{G-LSDP}}, which captured public attention and performed very well in the [[Gylian federal election, 1969|1969 federal election]].

[[File:ŢaisaEşal.jpg|thumb|200px|right|[[Ţaisa Eşal]]]]
[[Ţaisa Eşal]] became a high-profile advocate of market anarchism during this period. A glamorous and charismatic figure comparable to [[Lucretia Pecunia Mercator]], Ţaisa helped establish the {{G-UI}}, and served as its sole [[Gylian Chamber of Deputies|deputy]] and [[Gylian Senate|senator]] in 1962–1976. Her activism and lifestyle championed moneyless living, through {{wpl|barter}} and {{wpl|gift economy|gifts}}, and she supported small-scale communities, {{wpl|voluntaryism}}, {{wpl|appropriate technology}}, {{wpl|organised labour}}, and the abolition of monopolies.

Ţaisa gained renown as a witty provocateur and appealing theorist of {{wpl|agorism}}. She embraced lifestylist elements, and advocated {{wpl|counter-economics}}, the use of {{wpl|direct action}} through the {{wpl|black market}} and {{wpl|gray market}} to achieve the peaceful creation of a voluntaryist society based on "emancipated markets". Her emphasis on self-sufficiency and {{wpl|appropriate technology}} made her an influence on {{wpl|green anarchism}}.

Although anarchists enjoyed great influence and {{wpl|cultural hegemony}} during the Golden Revolution, there were groups wary of sinking into "revolutionary complacency" through parliamentarism and {{wpl|the long march through the institutions}}, and critical of the "miserable compromise" and {{wpl|dual power}} tactics adopted due to the missed opportunity to have abolished the state directly at the end of the Liberation War.

The [[wretched decade]] marked a crisis for anarchism. The resurgence of the [[Communism in Gylias|statist–authoritarian left]] {{G-RR}} in the [[Gylian federal election, 1976|1976 federal election]], and the {{G-PA}}'s subsequent participation in the [[Aén Ďanez government]] generated controversy and disgust, threatening to split the "popularist" and "pragmatist" factions. Having enjoyed an alliance with the government during the Golden Revolution, anarchists once again found themselves in opposition to it.

The emergence of a strong {{wpl|environmentalist movement}}, manifested in the growth of the {{G-GP}}, led to the diffusion of {{wpl|green anarchism|green anarchist}} ideals throughout the movement. New formations emerged among {{G-NI}}, including the market anarchist {{G-FVU}} and {{G-RFS}}, the {{wpl|anarcho-naturism|anarcho-naturist}} {{G-LND}}, and the {{wpl|synthesis anarchism|synthesist}} {{G-PP-CM}}, which opposed and pressured the PA over its membership in the [[Aén Ďanez government]].

The crisis reached its peak with the {{wpl|hung parliament}} produced by the [[Gylian federal election, 1985|1985 federal election]] and the [[Ossorian war crisis]] of 1986, which galvanised the opposition to oust Aén. She was replaced by [[Filomena Pinheiro]], leading a [[Filomena Pinheiro government|national unity government]] that engaged in a renewed and more intense crackdown on authoritarians on the left and right. However, establised blocs' delay in confronting the crisis still caused a voter backlash. Voters turned instead to {{G-NI}}, who obtained a breakthrough at the [[Gylian federal election, 1990|1990 federal election]].

Subsequent decades marked a recovery and reinvention for Gylian anarchism after the wretched decade. Non-inscrit anarchist formations experienced electoral success, particularly {{G-LND}}, which also participated in [[Mathilde Vieira]]'s [[Mathilde Vieira government|"plural coalition"]]. Market anarchism had a notable influence on the [[Decleyre Summit]] and [[Social Partnership Program]], which fostered a community of civic-minded and philanthropic [[List of Gylians by net worth|rich Gylians]], improving public attitudes towards entrepreneurship and wealth. The Gylian consensus endured and adapted to contemporary innovations in [[Computer industry in Gylias|IT]] and [[Internet in Gylias|the internet]].

The PA regained a plurality of first preference votes and seats in the [[Gylian federal election, 2012|2012 federal election]] and took the senior role in the [[Toni Vallas government]].

The [[Gylian federal election, 2020|2020 federal election]] unexpectedly made foreign policy a major issue, and led to gains for anarchist parties campaigning for greater support of the KSA in [[Æþurheim]]'s civil war. These parties ultimately supported the formation of the [[Lena Haidynraix government]], Gylias' first centre-right federal government.
