> Maybe the working definition of politics is different, but if you are not involved in a political party that tries to exercise influence and prescription to others, then I would call one apolitical. Then I don't think you understand what anarchism is at all, here is a working definition from his Biography [1] portion titled Anarchism; it helps elucidate what it is that anarchism is, and what it seeks to achieve (note that no actual Political affiliation is ascribed or required to adhere to these principals, as anarchism carries within it a breadth of sub-types in its mode of operation but carries within it core principals and values): The first part of this book describes the life of an anarchist, und perhaps it would not be completely superfluous to make a short statement about what Anarchism is: Anarchism is a world view whose basis lies in the conviction that the domination of people over each other, and every form of hierarchy, leads to the suppression of individual and collective freedom; that it is unjustified, repressive, and results in violence. Anarchism propagates the dissolving of hierarchical state structures. It places individual freedom, equality and collective self-determination at the center of its effort to create a social organization entirely free of coercion. If you're interested, as you clearly shown that you are to some degree, you can take the the time to read for yourself how he viewed the World with his other Work [2] outside of mathematics and what his aims were from the links below for yourself. The Grothendieck Circle is also another great source for reading his works, it could use some sprucing up as it looks like an 90s Angelfire site, but the links work. 1: https://webusers.imj-prg.fr/~leila.schneps/grothendieckcircle/Scharlau/Anarchy.pdf https://webusers.imj-prg.fr/~leila.schneps/grothendieckcircl... 2: http://www.ccnr.org/grothendieck.pdf http://www.ccnr.org/grothendieck.pdf * Directly copy and paste those links into browser as they're pdf files.
