There are two main ones. There is the state first. For anarchists, the state has always been the incarnation of illegitimate power. And then from the point of economic relations, the fact that people are not in control of their economic life, ie production and consumption. These are forms of authority that exert an extraordinary influence on people's lives and that limit their freedom and their opportunity to live egalitarian lives. Anarchists try to reconcile freedom and equality. This love of freedom sometimes combines with a very sharp criticism of injustice insofar as it leads to unacceptable forms of inequality. Concretely, in the recent history of social movements, anarchism bore these values by claiming democracy in the economy, thinking that if people are not in control of the economy, then There is no real democracy, no real equality. Hence the passion of anarchists for the search for alternative economic models. They believe that our economic functioning not only generates deep inequalities, but also seriously undermines people's freedom.
