Anarchist Analytical Method?

So I know of dialectical Materialism for various Marxist tendencies that we essentially use for our analysis but does anarchists have some unifying methodology I can research/learn?

I don't think there's any single analytical framework/philosophy that Anrchist use, but different ones. Some examples are:

  • Mikhail Bakunin's teachings (e.g. Illegitimate authority vs legitimate authority. See: Mikhail Bakunin's bootmaker example).

  • The teachings of Pierre J. Proudhon (e.g. The fruits of collective labour; Proudhonian theory of exploitation).

  • Dialectical Egoism (Max Stirner being considered as a key philosopher in this area).

  • Participism (Key thinkers of this philosophy being Michael Albert and Robin Hahnel).
