Two grids on the same template. The first is empty - print it, fill in each cell with a one-line note while you revise. The second is a worked example to check yourself against.
Each cell asks one question: does this row strengthen the column quality (mark +) or weaken it (mark -)? Then add a one-line note saying why. The plus and minus columns are deliberately not pre-printed - your judgement is the work.

| Collectivist | +Strongly holds: humans are cooperative and altruistic; Kropotkin's mutual aid is the natural form. | +Strongly holds: reject the state, which defends inequality and class power (Bakunin, Kropotkin). | +Strongly holds: common ownership and mutual aid; abolish private property (Proudhon, Kropotkin). | +Strongly holds: order emerges from cooperation and mutual aid, not self-interest (Kropotkin). | ±Mixed: Bakunin, Kropotkin and Goldman favour revolution; Proudhon prefers peaceful mutualism. | -Rejects: freedom is realised through the cooperative community, not the isolated sovereign ego. |
| Individualist | -Rejects the cooperative view: humans are rational, self-interested and competitive (Stirner). | +Strongly holds: reject the state because it crushes self-sovereign individual liberty (Stirner). | -Rejects common ownership: a free market with private property protected (Stirner, anarcho-capitalism). | -Rejects: order rests on rational self-interest and the Union of Egoists, not solidarity (Stirner). | -Rejects collective revolution: anarchy through insurrection or the self-sovereign ego (Stirner). | +Strongly holds: the self-interested rational ego is the centre of the moral universe (Stirner). |
