Line 7: − + − + − + + + + + + + − + − + − + − − ===Christian Anarchism=== − [[Image:Tolstoy.jpg|thumb|Leo Tolstoy]] − Christianity has been influential on some anarchists. Russian novelist [[Leo Tolstoy]] is seen as an important figure in this trend. Tolstoy's Christian anarchism was outlined in his book "The Kingdom of God is Within You". Like all Christian anarchists, he believed that the only authority is God, and that therefore government is illegitimate. To support their views, they will often quote the following passage by [[Paul]]: "there is no authority except that which God has established."
Clarity, grammar, etc.

==Branches of Anarchism==
==Branches of anarchism==
===Anarcho-Syndicalism===
Anarcho syndicalism is the most influential branch or anarchism world wide, partly due to the syndicalists' involvement in the [[Spanish Civil War]]. Anarcho-syndicalism is founded in workers' rights and trade unionism. In a syndicalist society workers would be self managing and a union of all workers would take the place of government. Syndicalism is not firmly opposed to currency or trade of capitalism like most other branches.

Anarcho-capitalists argue that all support of business is voluntary, since one can choose between companies under a capitalist system. Anarcho-capitalists reject collectives, since they focus on the community rather than the individual, which may lead to a loss of individual freedom.
