Anarchism.net is an anarchist website founded in 1998 by Swedish anarchists Per Bylund, Per Ericson and Thord Swedenhammar. The site went through a number of re-designs before finally ending up in 2003 as a gathering place with the purpose of unifying the global anarchist movement. The continuously changed mission of Anarchism.net, along with its content focus, closely followed Bylund's evolution from being a right libertarian toward the left libertarian form of market anarchism known as agorism.
The site features material that has been submitted by lesser known anarchists in the hope of providing them some coverage. Anarchism.net also links to and provides a number of works but much more renowned anarchists. The aim is to compile anarchist material that is not specific to one faction so that all anarchists, regardless of school can learn from such texts. In addition the site also features an active forum which does not require registration in order for anarchists to post. There are no moderators and the only administrator is Bylund. The idea is that the forum allows for a free, open, medium of exchange so that anarchists can plan, discuss and learn from each other.
Anarchism.net has often been targeted and attacked for its acceptance of all anarchist schools of thought. This has sometimes affected Per Bylund who has received death threats for such positions.
On December 12, 2000, Free-Market.net (a portal project administered by the Henry Hazlitt Foundation) awarded the site "Freedom Home Page of the Week."
