He advocates for a socialist system based on a free market economy and usufructs, the introduction of a mutual credit bank, ownership of the means of production by either the workers collectively or by the individual(s) using them, and the representation of trade by equal amounts of labour in the free market. Additionally, he is strongly in favour of individual liberty and can be seen as the unifying ideology between the social and individualist and the social and market schools of anarchist thought.

{{Quote|
quote="I protest against every order with which some authority may feel pleased on the basis of some alleged necessity to over-rule my free will. Laws: We know what they are, and what they are worth! They are spider webs for the rich and mighty, steel chains for the poor and weak, fishing nets in the hands of government."
|speaker=[[File:Proudhon.png]] [[Social Anarchism|Pierre-Joseph Proudhon]]

'''Mutualism''', also called '''Proudhonism''' or '''Anarcho-Mutualism''' ('''AnMut'''), is an economically left-wing (but pro-market), Anarchist and culturally variable ideology primarily based upon the writings of [[w:Pierre-Joseph Proudhon|Pierre-Joseph Proudhon]].


He advocates for a socialist system based on a free market economy and usufructs, the introduction of a mutual credit bank, ownership of the means of production by either the workers collectively or by the individual(s) using them, and the representation of trade by equal amounts of labour in the free market.
== Stylistic Notes ==
Mutualism is known to reject traditional currency, instead proposing an alternative system based upon "labour notes", which is sometimes used as a running joke. He often attempts to unify the left and right anarchists through his proposed mix of socialism and a market economy, to varying degrees of success. Sometimes, his relative obscurity is played upon in comics ("what actually is mutualism?"). While he does not have strong established cultural views and leans progressive like his fellow anarchists, he has had a history of occasionally making sexist or anti-Semitic remarks, much to the dismay of his friends (this being a reference to certain views espoused by Proudhon himself). However, he seems somewhat ashamed of these past mistakes, having been heard saying "my ideal society would have sent me to the guillotine for being too conservative".


Additionally, he is strongly in favour of individual liberty and can be seen as the unifying ideology between the social, individualist, and market schools of anarchist thought, and was highly influential in the development of other anarchist ideologies that came after it.
== How to draw ==
Drawing Mutualism is very easy
# Draw a ball
2. Draw a diagonal line with a lighter shade of black (#141414)


==History==
3. Fill the space below the line with the same color and the space above with an orange (#ff8c00)
In a general sense, mutualism can be considered the original anarchy since the mutualist [[w:Pierre-Joseph_Proudhon|Pierre-Joseph Proudhon]] was the first person to identify himself as an [[Anarchism|anarchist]].


According to ''[https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/mutualists-org-a-mutualist-faq A Mutualist FAQ]'', mutualism was "the original form taken by the labor movement, first in Great Britain and shortly thereafter in France and the rest of Western Europe. Both mutualist practice and theory arose as part of the broad current of working class radicalism in England, from around the time of the publication of Paine's ''Rights of Man'' and the organisation of the first Societies of Correspondence in the 1790s, to the Chartist movement. Mutualism existed for some time as a spontaneous working class practice before it was formalised in theory."
4. Add the eyes and you're done!


==Beliefs==
5. (Optional) Draw two curved arrows which form a circle, an orange one in the black section and a black one in the orange section.
== Relationships ==
===Perennialism===
Much reactionary rhetoric comes from [[File:Mutalist.png]] Proudhon himself, much to the chagrin of most modern mutualists. Proudhon was a rabid anti-Semite, detailing much of his views in the 1847 essay [https://www.marxists.org/reference/subject/economics/proudhon/1847/jews.htm ''On the Jews''].

"I protest against every order with which some authority may feel pleased on the basis of some alleged necessity to over-rule my free will. Laws: We know what they are, and what they are worth! They are spider webs for the rich and mighty, steel chains for the poor and weak, fishing nets in the hands of government."

Mutualism, also called Proudhonism or Anarcho-Mutualism (AnMut), is an economically left-wing (but pro-market), Anarchist and culturally variable ideology primarily based upon the writings of Pierre-Joseph Proudhon.

He advocates for a socialist system based on a free market economy and usufructs, the introduction of a mutual credit bank, ownership of the means of production by either the workers collectively or by the individual(s) using them, and the representation of trade by equal amounts of labour in the free market.

Additionally, he is strongly in favour of individual liberty and can be seen as the unifying ideology between the social, individualist, and market schools of anarchist thought, and was highly influential in the development of other anarchist ideologies that came after it.

History

In a general sense, mutualism can be considered the original anarchy since the mutualist Pierre-Joseph Proudhon was the first person to identify himself as an anarchist.

According to A Mutualist FAQ, mutualism was "the original form taken by the labor movement, first in Great Britain and shortly thereafter in France and the rest of Western Europe. Both mutualist practice and theory arose as part of the broad current of working class radicalism in England, from around the time of the publication of Paine's Rights of Man and the organisation of the first Societies of Correspondence in the 1790s, to the Chartist movement. Mutualism existed for some time as a spontaneous working class practice before it was formalised in theory."

Beliefs

Perennialism

Much reactionary rhetoric comes from Proudhon himself, much to the chagrin of most modern mutualists. Proudhon was a rabid anti-Semite, detailing much of his views in the 1847 essay On the Jews.

Personality and Behaviour

Mutualism is known to reject traditional currency, instead proposing an alternative system based upon "labour notes", which is sometimes used as a running joke. He often attempts to unify the left and right anarchists through his proposed mix of socialism and a market economy, to varying degrees of success. Sometimes, his relative obscurity is played upon in comics ("what actually is mutualism?").

While he does not have strong established cultural views and leans progressive like his fellow anarchists, he has had a history of occasionally making sexist or anti-Semitic remarks, much to the dismay of his friends (this being a reference to certain views espoused by Proudhon himself).

However, he seems somewhat ashamed of these past mistakes, having been heard saying "my ideal society would have sent me to the guillotine for being too conservative".

How to Draw

Drawing Mutualism is very easy:

  1. Draw a ball,
  2. Draw a black diagonal line,
  3. Fill the space below the line in black and the space above with an orange
  4. Add the eyes and you're done!
  5. (Optional) Draw, in the centre of the ball, two curved arrows which form a circle; an orange one in the black section and a black one in the orange section.

Relationships

Friends

Frenemies

  • Titoism - Based socialism and markets but cringe authoritarianism.
  • Distributism - I wouldn't rely on the strong state to do it, but your goal is fine.
  • Jacobinism - I am greatly thankful for the French revolution but your despotism? No thanks.
  • National Anarchism - Good economics, but can you calm down with the nationalism please? Plus we agree about racism and jews
  • National Syndicalism - Same as above, but also authoritarian and illiterate. Please stop citing me. It's true that Rousseau's ideology of social contract was flawed but I'm not a monarchist or a fascist!
  • Anarcho-Capitalism - I respect your admiration for the free market, but I'd like you to drop the whole capitalism thing.
  • Marxism - We used to be friends, but then he called me a "utopian" and said that markets were stupid.
  • Georgism - At least he understands that land property is theft.
  • Social Georgism - Better version of the guy above, though I don't like how most of you like that glorified statist.
  • Democratic Socialism - You're a socialist, but too moderate and tend to work with him. Anyway, I guess some of you are pretty cool.
  • Illegalism - Maybe I should change argument that "property is theft" because it will make you capitalist...
  • Post-Left Anarchy - You have a few interesting ideas, but stop calling me dogmatic!

Enemies

  • Authoritarian Capitalism - Death to capitalism and the state!
  • Marxism–Leninism - Despite our origins, I have nothing to do with you. Marx wasn't exactly perfect, but I'm pretty sure he would have a heart attack if he saw what you've become.
  • Corporatocracy - Your existence makes good propaganda for our ideology.
  • Conservative Liberalism - The idea of an anti-government and pro-market socialist must make his head explode.
    • No, no. It simply disgusts me.
