Anarchy is a state of existence free of coercive authority. Within this state, one is at liberty to shape one's own life as one chooses, in the image of one's own individual needs, values, and desires. One may not however allow one's sphere of control to encompass the lives of others without their choosing. A non-authoritarian world hence entails freedom of association, not monarchy, obligarchy or democrasy. Many who call themselves "Anarchists", while claiming not to deny the importance of free association, strive for a more democratic society where corporate and state entities will be replaced with community controlled municipalities, worker-controlled industrial federations, and so forth. Those who wish to live freely on their own accord have reason to feel threatened by all large-scale organizations, for they are both imperialistic and hierarchial, even if intended to be described as "democratic".
