Diemazz

Zenarchy is a political philosophy put forth by Discordianism co-founder Kerry Wendell Thornley in a book of the same name. It is a counter-cultural, Zen and Taoist-inspired theory of politics. Thornley defines it as follows:

• ZEN is Meditation. ARCHY is Social Order. ZENARCHY is the Social Order which springs from Meditation.
• As a doctrine, it holds Universal Enlightenment a prerequisite to abolition of the State, after which the State will inevitably vanish. Or - that failing - nobody will give a damn.

Zenarchy is inspired by both Eastern Zen Buddhist and Taoist philosophies, and Western ideas of anarchy. Like most Discordian theories, it incorporates both humor and serious thinking.
