Anarchy Symbol Tattoos

The most popular anarchist symbol is the encircled A. Words such as "Anarchy" or "anarchism" begin with the letter "A" in most languages, and this makes it an internationally recognized symbol. The symbol where letter A stands for anarchy and O for order was designed by Pierre-Joseph Proudhon.

Anarchy is a political ideology just like democracy, monarchy, oligarchy, communism, or liberalism, that evolved in ancient Greece, meaning ‘without a ruler.’ Anarchy doesn’t cite lawlessness or chaos; rather, a society with proper rules and regulations put in place, but without an authoritarian ruler, but it later grabbed a negative meaning.

Nowadays, not many people understand what this symbol really stands for as the ruling classes from the 18th and 19th centuries, enforced the negative idea behind it.
