Relationship anarchy (sometimes abbreviated RA) is the application of anarchist principles to intimate relationships. Its values include autonomy, anti-hierarchical practices, lack of state control, anti-normativity, and community interdependence.[1] RA can be considered a type of non-monogamy, but moreso is explicitly anti-mononormativity. This is distinct from polyamory, solo poly, swinging, and other forms of “dating”, which may include structures such as amatonormativity, de facto hierarchy of intimate relationships, and autonomy-limiting rules.[2]

History
Andie Nordgren coined the term relationship anarchy[3] in her 2006 essay "The short instructional manifesto for relationship anarchy" that she translated from the original Swedish "Relationsanarki i 8 punkter". Swedish masters and bachelor theses by Jacob Strandell[4] and Ida Midnattssol[5] explored related themes. Other relevant writings exploring this topic within a similar time frame include "A Green Anarchist Project on Freedom" and "Love and Against the Couple Form".
Workshops at OpenCon 2010 discussed relationship anarchy,[6] and the Open University professor Dr. Meg Barker discussed it in a 2013 presentation.[7] In March 2020, the first book dedicated monographically to RA was published, so far only in Spanish: "Anarquía Relacional. La revolución desde los vínculos".[8]
