Anarchist-coined term Anarchize is used by such diverse persons as anarchists, consultants and those simply interested in organisational principles.

"Anarchizing is all about empowering people with creative systems of organisation" - Unknown
"To anarchize is to organize - anarchists." - Unknown

Such systems rely on well-established principles of no operational contact, no cooperation with authority, no confusion with group entity and some due process principles, such as no self-incrimination, and never to require response to hearsay. These are often called bottom-up organizing principles, a term which spans use in business, democracy, the social economy or civil society.

Such entities as smart mobs, co-operatives, mutuals and peer to peer networks are often "anarchized", at least in early stages. What these methods have in common is that they optimise formation of social capital, and rely more on interpersonal ethical relationships than top-down rules.

It is part of the Anarchopedia:Purpose to promote methods that allow anarchists to organise themselves effectively, so Anarchopedia:We advocate the term Anarchize and feel that it should spread.

Most Anarchopedia:Policy reflects a desire to anarchize, don't organize.
