The key message in these blinks:

Anarchism has its roots in the nineteenth century, and revolves around the political philosophy of rejecting hierarchies in all forms, whether the state, religious organizations or patriarchal social norms. While major anarchist revolutionary success has been limited to the likes of anarchist Spain during the 1930s, anarchist thought has led to a myriad of small victories – the modern parole system, marriage-less relationships and women’s reproductive rights, to name just a few. And while an anarchist revolution doesn’t seem to be on the horizon, crises such as worsening climate change will eventually force societies to evolve – anarchist ideas will come more and more to the fore.
