Summary/Abstract: The author outlines the theory and praxis of minor social movements as they should be understood from the perspective of the Deleuzian philosophy. The article focuses on the disposition, creating the core of anarchism, which author calls “anarchisticity” and which manifests itself as a way of thinking and also as a form of organisation. Anarchisticity does not present a consistent doctrine nor does it set clear objectives. As such, it remains non-teleological. However anarchisticity seems as a solution of the most common political problems — it rescinds the antinomy of the good and evil, negative and positive liberty and also shows how to revolt without vanguard of the proletariat. The author analysis practices of a revolution to make out the distinction between discourses rooted in Lee Edelman’s argue form the child (which the author calls argue from the state) and anarchisticity. To illustrate eponymous disposition, the author makes use of poststructuralist philosophy concepts and also the works of the philosophers of existence. An important point of reference is constituted also by Max Stirner’s reflections from his The Ego and His Own.
