Anarchism in the United States spans a wide range of anarchist philosophy, from individualist anarchism to anarchist communism
and other less known forms. America has two main traditions, native and
immigrant, with the native tradition being strongly individualist and
the immigrant tradition being collectivist and anarcho-communist.[1] Major individualist anarchists include Henry David Thoreau[2], Lysander Spooner, Benjamin Tucker, and Murray Rothbard.[3][4][5][6] Individualist anarchism in the United States is strongly influenced by Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, Henry David Thoreau, and Ralph Waldo Emerson. Other influential anarchists include anarcho-communist Emma Goldman, Alexander Berkman, social ecologist Murray Bookchin, and linguist Noam Chomsky.
