I‛ve been considering anarchism and utilitarianism as separate systems, since they represent larger oppositional ethical systems: deontology and consequentialism. However, the more I think about it the more I keep coming back to their root logic. Don‛t both stem from the claim of creating the greater good for as many people as possible? Things diverge from there, since they certainly don't seem to agree on tactics or economics or beneficence.

William Godwin proposed a utilitarian anarchism, and I haven‛t had time to read up on that yet. Perhaps I‛ll get around to that in the next few weeks.
