> there isn't a singular anarchist school of thought

Would be oxymoronic if there were one.

Isn’t that like saying there must be as many universes as theoretical physicists can think up? Slight maybe but it could also just be one.

Schools of thought are theories. It’s saying there can be as many theoretical universes as theoretical physicists can think up.

This is true for any social construct, of course. But anarchy’s nature means you get less alignment.

The ideal of self-governance as opposed to alienated state or institutional governance is quite common in anarchist thought. Some would probably consider it foundational for the tendency.
