Summary: One of the most unique aspects of anarchism as a political philosophy is that it seeks to abolish the state. But what exactly is "the state"? The State is like a vast operating system for ordering and controlling relations among human society, the economy, and the natural world, analogous to a digital operating system like Windows or MacOS. Like a state, an operating system "governs" the programs and applications under it and networked with it, as well as, to some extent, the individuals who avail themselves of these tools and resources.
