Left anarchism
The terms left anarchism and left-wing anarchism distinguish anarchism from right-wing philosophies whose subscribers self-identify as anarchists.[1][2] It posits a future society in which private property is replaced by reciprocity and non-hierarchical society.[3][4] The term left anarchism is sometimes used synonymously with libertarian socialism,[5] left libertarianism, or socialist anarchism.[6] Anarchists typically discourage the notion of a left-wing anarchism on the grounds of redundancy, and that it lends legitimacy to the misconception that anarchism is compatible with capitalism[7][8] and nationalism.[9][10]
Ulrike Heider, a syndicalist, categorizes anarchism into left anarchism, right anarchism (anarcho-capitalism), and green anarchism.[11][page needed] His work has been strongly criticised by anarchist academics including Bryan Caplan and Murray Bookchin for the allegedly poor quality of its research and presentation.[12][13]
