    Jewish Anarchism (JewAn) is the belief that mortal kings and rulers are bound to become tyrants, and that the true "Kingdom under God" described in the Torah is anarchy.

    "And the groups I was connected with were hoping for a socialist Palestine based on Arab-Jewish, working-class cooperation in a bi-national community: no state, no Jewish state, just Palestine."

    History

    Pogroms

    The roots of Jewish anarchism lie in the late 19th century, particularly among Eastern European Jews facing widespread poverty, pogroms, and systemic anti-Semitism. The philosophy resonated deeply with Jewish communities due to their historical experiences of oppression under state and religious hierarchies. Influences from anarchist thinkers like Mikhail Bakunin and Peter Kropotkin inspired Jewish activists.

    United States

    The mass migration of Jews to the United States between 1880 and 1924 brought anarchist ideas to cities like New York and Chicago. Leading figures such as   Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman emerged as central voices in the movement.  Goldman championed causes like free love, workers’ rights, and personal freedom, while Berkman’s activism and writings critiqued both capitalism and Bolshevism. Yiddish-language anarchist newspapers, such as Freie Arbeiter Stimme (Free Voice of Labor), played a crucial role in spreading anarchist ideals and connecting them with Jewish cultural traditions.

    Variants

      Religious Jewish Anarchism

    Religious Jewish Anarchism is a form of Jewish Anarchism that is guided by religious principles. While many Jewish anarchists were irreligious or sometimes vehemently anti-religious, there were also a few religious anarchists and pro-anarchist thinkers, who combined contemporary radical ideas with traditional Judaism. Some secular anti-authoritarians, such as Abba Gordin and Erich Fromm, also noticed remarkable similarity between anarchism and many Kabbalistic ideas, especially in their Hasidic interpretation. Some Jewish mystical groups were based on anti-authoritarian principles, somewhat similar to the Christian Quakers and Doukhobors. Martin Buber, a deeply religious philosopher, had frequently referred to the Hasidic tradition.

    Personality and Behavior

    JewAn is a pious person, but nonetheless an opponent of   Zionism, viewing Israel as it currently exists as a tyrannical and racist regime. He seeks a "no-state solution" and wants Jews to co-exist with Muslims and Christians in stateless Jerusalem.
