Acracy (from Greek α- [no] and κρατία [system of government]) is a term in political philosophy which denotes the negation of rule or "government by none". Although equivalent to anarchy as that term is used by anarchists, the conceptual root of acracy is different. While anarchy refers to the absence of a hierarchical society-organizing power principle, acracy refers to the absence of coercion; the condition of acracy is one of voluntary order.^[clarify]
