    eventually lead to classless ideal
    society in the form of communism.
    (Sargent 2009)

    • Anarchists believe that since power
    corrupts, a better system based on
    voluntary cooperation and not on power
    relations should be established, and that
    this system will address the needs of the
    people more successfully.
    (Sargent 2009)

    involves the government in a minimal
    role such as ensuring the safety of
    everyone and fairness in whatever
    contracts or dealings. (Sargent 2009)
