Power to the People

We don't need no education by Charlotte Du Cann (EB)

Some comments about unschooling (vs. homeschooling) in this thread at Free the Animal. (*caution* profanity warning)

Plus, Richard Nikoley and others talk about their understanding of anarchism, which is not the absence of order or government, but a rejection of the modern state in favor of the individual, families, and communities, which should be self-governing rather than governed from without by a distant bureaucracy. It is part of a reaction against the consolidation/centralization of power accompanying the development of the nation-state.

This isn't to say that they would agree with traditional conservatives about all aspects of morality, but they do share a more localist vision of communal life (and governance).
