The article deals with the phenomenon of socio-political anarchization related to the dynamic process of digitalization, primarily the functioning of social media. All the issues are analyzed from several perspectives, including the research area of political science, sociology and psychology. According to the Authors, many mechanisms of the Internet networks described in the article contribute not only to the growing social and political polarization, but also may lead to a recession of liberal democracy and the most important state institutions. The authors argue that the specific way of functioning of digital media and the available options of their use may strengthen gradual anarchization processes, which ultimately lead to the creation of social entities of various types, being defined by particular micro-identities and less and less dependent on the State, and at the same time contributing (or rather being able to contribute) to the actual atrophy of the existing state structures, as well as the rules and procedures hitherto present in society.
