Lifestyle anarchism - Definition and Overview

Lifestyle anarchism is a term derived from anarchist author Murray Bookchin's Social Anarchism Or Lifestyle Anarchism: An Unbridgeable Chasm. He used it to criticise anarchists who he believed advocated individualism rather than an emphasis on class struggle. The term is now in general use to describe positions which are held to concentrate on changes to personal behaviour rather than a wholesale reorganisation or abolition of class society.

In general, those described as lifestyle anarchists deny that they reject social or class struggle, sometimes by rejecting the distinction between individual and class behaviour.
