The 'unity of means and ends' is a foundational principle in anarchist theory, which argues that the methods and processes used to bring about a desired social transformation should be aligned with and prefigure the ultimate vision or end goal.

This concept is explored in depth across multiple episodes of the 'Srsly Wrong' podcast, including Episode 305 which discusses the hosts' vision for a peaceful and intelligent 'revolution' towards an ecological and democratic society, and Episode 245 which examines Errico Malatesta's anarchist program and how his 19th-century ideas can be adapted to modern challenges.

The unity of means and ends is seen as crucial by anarchists in order to avoid the pitfalls of authoritarian or violent revolutionary strategies, instead embracing methods that align with the desired outcomes of human flourishing and social transformation.
