NOT as many people think simply not having a government and hierachy, but a PEACEFUL HARMOIOUS state where people are educated to think for themselves.
Most people see this as unworkable because they don't see the second half. Afghanistan, for example is not properly anarchic, as warlords etc still fight to control land. If only they could see how much happier we'd all be if we got along and took time to understand each other....
Basically most common sense is supported by anarchism : Free thought, listening to other people's opinions, pacifism, lack of oppression etc

A theory which states that hierarchy and scarcity economies are harmful to human development. Promotes first achieving anarchy of self, and external revolution second. Revolves around the clearly insane idea that people don't need to be told not to murder to know that murder is bad.
I hate anarchism because I don't understand the meaning of the word!

Anarchism stands for liberation of the human mind and the dominion
of religion; the liberation of the human body from the dominion of
property; liberation from shackles and restraint of government. It
stands for social order based on the free grouping of individuals.
anarchism can be seen in most communistic societies, tight nit communities...

Something that would be taken a little more seriously if the majority of it's adherents weren't angry 15-year-olds with faux-hawks and Rise Against t-shirts.

The philosophy that because no one had the consent of the circumstances of their birth (where, when, why, how), therefore the state which they were born in must disband and render itself a lawless state, despite the fact a lawless state of anarchism amongst a large human population is impossible. It mainly appeals to pseudo-rebellious teenagers and 20-somethings who have no inkling of the gravity of the implications of the social paradigm they’re unthinkingly embracing, mindlessly reading books about the philosophy either feigning comprehension to look like a unique intellectualist or genuinely believe all of the accounts for it mindlessly to be unique and smart amongst their friends, parents and acquaintances. It ignores every law of biology and the behavior of living things (including human beings) and how it is relevant to the topic of how humans should—or shouldn't—govern ourselves. We are most closely related to chimps, bonobos, orangutans and baboons, almost all of which adhere to a social hierarchical structure, each fundamentally the same in it's foundation but different in it's executions. Social evolution of homo-sapiens is also not taken into account, ours seemingly being the most advanced and fastest amongst the rest of the world's species. Hierarchies are inherent to social animals—and a social animal with a society as complex as our own is going to create leaders and followers.
"I am a believer of anarchism. I do not believe in nationalism or patriotism. The accident of the location of your birth should not be construed to require loyalty to the state. And no, I don’t care what our government does to 'better' itself. I would see it abolished. It is so inherently evil that I refuse to hold a symbol of it in a place of honor, or at all."
