- 2. Liberalism: Individual autonomy
- 3. Anarchism: State as necessary evil
- 4. Post-structuralism: Knowledge-power nexus
A1 and 3
B1, 2 and 4 ✓ Correct
C2 and 3
D1 and 2
Correct answer: (B) 1, 2 and 4 — Pairs 1, 2 and 4 are correctly matched, so the answer is 1, 2 and 4.
Explanation
★Pairs 1, 2 and 4 are correctly matched, so the answer is 1, 2 and 4.
★Marxism centres on class struggle as the engine of historical change.
★Liberalism centres on individual autonomy and the freedom of the person.
★Post-structuralism, especially Foucault, stresses the knowledge power nexus.
★Pair 3 is wrong, because anarchism sees the state as an unnecessary evil, not a necessary one.
★Anarchists want to abolish the state entirely, holding that society can self organise without it.
★It is classical liberals who describe the state as a necessary evil, a useful distinction to keep.
