REAL DEMOCRACY IS ANARCHY & ANARCHISM! ANARCHY & ANARCHISM ARE REAL DEMOCRACY = LIBERAL SOCIAL-DEMOCRACY!
REAL DEMOCRACY IS ALWAYS INCLUDING GREEN!
ANARCHY.NO IS ALL ABOUT DEMOCRACY - INCLUDING THE DEMOCRACY PROJECT!
Democracy, the libertarian, anarchy & anarchism and degrees of this, is a question of influence on decisions. All other things are only relevant as far as they affects the influence on the societal decisions. To be more precise: anarchy & anarchism, the libertarian and democracy is a question of influence on the societal decisions by the People = the Bottom of the societal pyramid, the decisions usually and mainly taken by the Top of the societal pyramid, i.e. the Bureaucracy (authorities) broadly defined in private and public sector. The degree of democracy = influence on the societal decisions by the People = the Bottom of the social pyramid, mainly taken by the Bureaucracy, the Top of the social pyramid, measured relatively as a percent degree between 0 % and 100 %, that is a precise measure on how much the People govern = democracy, i.e. the degree of it.
Democracy, and more or less of it, is central to societal politics broadly defined, both economical and political/administrative, and in reality Real Democracy, NB! i.e. always including Green, and Full Democracy as an ultimate aim, is the one and only policy in the interest of the People, i.e. People's Politics. Real Democracy has a degree of democracy equal to 50 % or more, and Full Democracy has 100 % degree of democracy. The degree of democracy = the libertarian degree = the anarchist degree - within anarchy & anarchism = real democracy, i.e. 100% - the authoritarian degree, see - click on the Economic-Political Map above. The Democracy Project is a research project about all topics of democracy and adjacent themes, also praxeology - human action research - including the Green Global Spring GGS.

REAL DEMOCRACY IS ANARCHISM AND ANARCHY - ANARCHISM AND ANARCHY ARE REAL DEMOCRACY
FULL DEMOCRACY = 100 % DEGREE OF DEMOCRACY = 100 % ANARCHY DEGREE = THE ANARCHIST IDEAL = THE DEMOCRATIC IDEAL
REAL (I.E. INCLUDING GREEN) DEMOCRACY = ANARCHY = ANARCHISM = LIBERTARIAN = LIBERAL SOCIAL DEMOCRACY
LIBERAL SOCIAL DEMOCRACY MUST NOT BE MIXED UP WITH MARXIST SOCIALDEMOCRACY
NORWAY, THE SWISS CONFEDERATION AND ICELAND ARE REAL DEMOCRATIC = ANARCHIES - WITH 50 % - 55 % DEMOCRACY DEGREE
THE DEGREE OF DEMOCRACY = THE LIBERTARIAN DEGREE = THE ANARCHY DEGREE WITHIN ANARCHISM
50 % DEGREE OF DEMOCRACY OR MORE BOTH ECONOMICAL & POLITICAL/ADMINISTRATIVE = SIGNIFICANT OR MORE REAL DEMOCRACY = ANARCHISM
THE DEGREE OF DEMOCRACY = 100 % - THE AUTHORITARIAN DEGREE = THE LIBERTARIAN OR ANARCHIST DEGREE
100 % DEGREE OF DEMOCRACY = 100 % LIBERTARIAN DEGREE = 100 % ANARCHY DEGREE
100 % DEGREE OF DEMOCRACY = 0 % AUTHORITARIAN DEGREE = 100 % LIBERTARIAN DEGREE = THE LIBERTARIAN IDEAL
50 % DEGREE OF DEMOCRACY OR MORE BUT ECONOMICAL OR POLITICAL/ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITARIAN = SEMI-DEMOCRACY & SEMI-LIBERTARIAN TOP DOWN SYSTEMS
< 33 % - 50 % > DEGREE OF DEMOCRACY (= LIBERTARIAN DEGREE) = < 67 % - 50 % > AUTHORITARIAN DEGREE = SEMI-DEMOCRACY & AUTHORITARIAN
USA, SEVERAL EU-COUNTRIES, UK, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND AND ISRAEL ARE SEMI-DEMOCRACIES & AUTHORITARIAN
I.E. NOT REAL DEMOCRACIES, THEY HAVE AUTHORITARIAN, TOP - DOWN SYSTEMS, BUT NOT ULTRA-AUTHORITARIAN AND TOTALITARIAN!
THE DEGREE OF DEMOCRACY = LIBERTARIAN DEGREE = < 0 % - 33 % > = THE AUTHORITARIAN DEGREE = < 67 % - 100 %> =
ULTRA-AUTHORITARIAN AND TOTALITARIAN TOP - DOWN ECONOMIC-POLITICAL SYSTEMS, I.E. VERY FREQUENT WORLD WIDE!
0 % DEGREE OF DEMOCRACY = 100 % AUTHORITARIAN DEGREE = 0 % LIBERTARIAN DEGREE = EXTREME ULTRA-FASCISM
THE PEOPLE = THE BOTTOM OF THE SOCIETAL PYRAMID VS THE BUREAUCRACY = THE TOP OF THE PYRAMID
THE DEGREE OF DEMOCRACY = THE PEOPLE'S INFLUENCE ON THE SOCIETAL DECISIONS MAINLY TAKEN BY THE TOP - IN %
REAL DEMOCRACY = A BOTTOM - UP MANAGERIAL SYSTEM = ANARCHIST AND LIBERTARIAN
NOT REAL DEMOCRACY = A TOP - DOWN MANAGERIAL SYSTEM = IN GENERAL OR PARTLY AUTHORITARIAN
REAL DEMOCRACY = ANARCHISM & ANARCHY ON THE ECONOMIC-POLITICAL MAP AND IN REALITY:

10 facts about anarchy, anarchism and anarchists
1. Anarchy and anarchism mean "system and management without ruler(s), i.e. co-operation without repression, tyranny and slavery". In short an-arch-y = [(an = without - arch = ruler(s)) - y = system (included optimal order and law) and management, as, say, in monarch-y]. Anarchy and anarchism are efficient and fair system and management without top heavy societal pyramid economical and/or political/administrative - in income and/or rank, i.e. significant horizontal organization - real i.e. including green - democracy.
2. The Economic-Political Map
"
The anarchy degree is 100% - the authoritarian degree within the anarchist quadrant. (Esquerda means left, and direita means right. The star indicates the Norwegian economic-political system after the velvet anarchist revolution in 1994/95.)
3. Authoritarians notoriously mix up anarchy, anarchist and anarchism with authoritarian tendencies: Chaos, disorder, mob rule (narrowly defined), lawlessness, the law of the jungle, criminality, riots, theft, corruption, drugs, mafia, terrorism, autocratic rule, the right to the strongest, antisocial tyrannical behavior, etc. i.e. different types of superiors and subordinates, all in all ochlarchy (mob rule broadly defined).
4. The word anarchy origins from Greek. The prefix "an" means "negation of" as in anaerobe versus aerobe and "arch" means "superior, i.e. in contrast to subordinates", as in archbishop, archangel, archduke, arch villain, etc. NB! Any villain, ochlarch/ist, is an arch vis-a-vis the victims. Thus anarchy, anarchism, anarchist, a.s.o., mean coordination on equal footing, without superiors and subordinates, i.e. horizontal organization and co-operation without coercion - practically (significant, > 50% anarchy degree) or ideally (towards 100% anarchy degree). This is the opposite of the above mentioned authoritarian tendencies, i.e. different types of superiors and subordinates - in general ochlarchy.
5. Ochlarchy is typical with more than 67% authoritarian degree. Anarchy has equal to or more than 50% anarchy degree. Anarchy is organization in general without (significant) arch(s), but not without management. The influence on the management, economic and political/administrative, in private and public sector, goes in general more from the bottom - the grassroots - upwards than from the top downwards. At the middle-point of the map the influence from the bottom is 50%. At the top of the map, the anarchist ideal, the influence from the bottom is 100%, or the organization is without top, 100% flat. Norway, The Swiss Confederation and Iceland are anarchies of low degree (anarchy degree > 50% but less than 60% - "anarchist light"). Other countries are more or less authoritarian (significant, > 50% authoritarian degree).
6. Anarchists are against ochlarchy, but also against monarchy, oligarchy, polyarchy, plutarchy, matriarchy, patriarchy, hierarchy, etc. i.e. significant and in real terms, economic and/or political/administrative. All forms of significant archies should be done away with, practically toward ideally.
7. The State = government = authority/ies = archy must not be mixed up with public sector and the central administration. The State as a broad societal concept is archy, i.e. x-archy, where x can be anything but not 'an', that is top heavy political/administrative and/or economical societal pyramid (vertical organization). Statism is one dimension of the State and economical plutarchy, i.e. capitalism, the other. The State may also be an ochlarchy, etc. The public sector and the central administration, often wrongly called state or government or authority/ies in Orwellian "1984" newspeak, if significantly horizontally organized, i.e. without top heavy pyramid, are anarchist. A well functioning public sector and central administration are necessary for anarchy and anarchism. The State may be present in several forms both in private and public sector. Anarchists are against the State in general, both in public and private sector.
8. As mentioned x-archy, where x can be almost anything, but not 'an', is the State in anarchist theory and reality. Especially anarchists are against failed states, i.e. typically rivaling polyarchy/oligarchy with ochlarchy - chaos and ultrafascism. Failed states are States and most not be mixed up with anarchy.
9. Anarchists are of course for anarchy and anarchism as defined above, and against the State as defined above. Anarchism is the same as anarchy but also the political tendency that advocates anarchy and the knowledge about anarchy.
10. It is a fact that socialists (anti-capitalists) are divided in two camps, marxists and anarchists. It is also a fact that all authoritarian socialists are marxists, not anarchists. It is a fact that ochlarchy (mob rule broadly defined) is authoritarian. Thus it is a fact that anti-capitalist (socialist) ochlarchists are marxists, not anarchists, regardless of what they may call themselves or flag. The media and other persons should always report the facts in such cases, not falsely calling anti-capitalist ochlarchists anarchists.
