In his autobiography, Skinner states that Walden Two was an anarchist society because no person was in control and the community was planned in such a way that institutions were not needed. Based on that statement, this article aims to evaluate an anarchist interpretation of Walden Two. The text is divided into 3 parts. The first part presents a definition of anarchism, covering its criticism of domination and a defense of self-managed society (anarchy). In the second part, some convergence points of Walden Two and anarchism are indicated in 3 social spheres (economic, political, and cultural). The last part analyzes the divergences between the community described in Walden Two and an anarchist society, with an emphasis on the issue of Walden Two’s political inequality. It is concluded that the divergences between Walden Two and anarchism are decisive and prevent the community described in Skinner’s book from being classified as an anarchist one, and, therefore, they counter Skinner’s own statement.

瓦尔登湖二号会是一个无政府主义社会吗?

斯金纳在他的自传中指出,瓦尔登湖二号是一个无政府主义社会,因为没有人可以控制,而且社区的规划方式不需要机构。基于该声明,本文旨在评估对瓦尔登湖二号的无政府主义解释。正文分为3部分。第一部分介绍了无政府主义的定义,涵盖了对统治的批评和对自我管理社会(无政府状态)的辩护。第二部分在经济、政治和文化三个社会领域指出了瓦尔登湖二号与无政府主义的一些交汇点。最后一部分分析了瓦尔登湖二号所描述的社区与无政府主义社会之间的分歧,重点是瓦尔登湖二号的政治不平等问题。
