Anarcho-unionism, also referred to as anarchist unionism, unionist anarchism, free unionism, and stateless unionism, is a political philosophy and anarchist school of thought which advocates the abolition of the state, capitalism, wage labor and private property (while retaining respect for personal property, along with collectively-owned items, goods and services) in favor of common ownership of the means of production, direct democracy, as well as a horizontal network of workers' councils with production and consumption based on the guiding principle "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs". Most anarcho-unionists view anarcho-unionism as a way of reconciling the opposition between the individual and society.

Currently, the only Anarcho-unionist state is the Revolutionary Free State in the central lands of the Seresian continent. While the RFS touts itself as being a wholly anarchist-unionist state, many observers have likened the state to that of a military dictatorship with Magnus holding complete control of the military.
