Anarcho-dissolutionism is a political ideology which, in applying the principles of anarchism to society itself, advocates complete removal of social hierarchies and structures. Anarcho-dissolutionists believe that social structure, such as acquaintance and friendship, is simply a part of the state hierarchy that anarchism seeks to remove; and that anarchism, in removing one hierarchy but retaining another, is incomplete and flawed.

Society and implicit hierarchy
A fundamental part of anarcho-dissolutionism is the belief that in any society which forms structural relationships between people, whether friendship or reliance (for example, reliance on a farmer to eat), creates an implicit social hierarchy which becomes the foundation of a power-structure and, inevitably, a state.

Mononomadism
Anarcho-dissolutionism therefore advocates the concept of "mononomadism", the constant movement of individual people, in a similar way to nomadic tribes. Mononomadism ensures that there can be no social hierarchies or communities formed through lasting contact between any two people. Note, though, that mononomadism does not imply the complete lack of contact between people: that would be infeasible. Instead, small pseudo-communities would be formed, places where the physical requirements for existence (much like modern-day cities) would be found, and within them transient property.

Transient property
Because it is impractical for a single person to constantly transport their possessions with them, it requires the concept of transient property&mdash;the "ownership" of property by whoever is currently using it. Thus, upon arriving in a communal area, a mononomad would find a place to sleep, and other amenities required for living. Upon leaving, sie would leave that behind, and take possession of the same again upon arrival in the next area.
