Finally, both groups exhibit a stubborn, existential refusal to be subdued or ruled by outsiders. Third, direct action tactics overlap in both groups: When facing internal or external threats, both communities effectively rally local mechanisms to affect change. Second, mutual aid is integral-like anarchists who work arm‐in‐arm, deaf individuals and groups exhibit uncanny solidarity across political, cultural, technological, linguistic, and geographical boundaries.

To this end, we synthesize four thematic loci where anarchism overtly aligns with constructs immanent in deaf communities.

To revitalize deaf education, address these contradictions, and eliminate incoherence, we posit that a deafled systemic transformation of deaf education is necessary furthermore, we argue it may best be realized through theories and actions constitutive of anarchism.

Unreconciled tensions cause stagnation, not regeneration, and harmful dissensus in deaf educational sub‐systems. Deaf education is an incoherent macrosystem whose sub‐systems-e.g., biomedical vs.
