**Direct Democracy : Literal direct democracy is a bottom up method of decision making that uses voting as the means to arrive at decisions. In direct democracy, anyone can call a vote on an issue and anyone can technically call an assembly, however, a group or council can draft and approve guidelines for calling votes and calling assemblies.(taken from Shawn Ewald's Anarchism in Action: Methods, Tactics, Skills, and Ideas.) | **Direct Democracy : Literal direct democracy is a bottom up method of decision making that uses voting as the means to arrive at decisions.

Anarchism: "While the popular understanding of anarchism is of a violent, anti-State movement, anarchism is a much more subtle and nuanced tradition then a simple opposition to government power. Anarchists oppose the idea that power and domination are necessary for society, and instead advocate more co-operative, anti-hierarchical forms of social, political and economic organisation." (The Politics of Individualism, p. 106) L. Susan Brown | |||

*Despite the popular idea of anarchists as violent men, Anarchism is the one non-violent social philosophy.… The function of the Anarchist is two-fold. By daily courage in non-cooperation with the tyrannical forces of the State and the Church, he helps to tear down present society; the Anarchist by daily cooperation with his fellows in overcoming evil with good-will and solidarity builds toward the anarchistic commonwealth which is formed by voluntary action with the right of secession. | |||
