Anarchism is commonly viewed as an outdated and wholly impractical idea. Worse, it has an accursed reputation for advocating chaos, violence, and destruction. The aim of An Anarchist's Manifesto is to convince readers of the exact opposite: that anarchism is the most adaptive, humane, intelligent, singly inclusive proposal that we, as social animals, have ever envisioned. In the bracing tradition of the manifesto, Glenn Wallis "makes public" the values...

Capitalism's shotgun marriage with democracy since 1945 is...

With the rise of the global protestor-from Arab Spring to the Occupy movement-the term "anarchist" has been littered throughout mainstream media as never before. But just as frequently, its definition is skewed or left wanting: anarchists are painted as nihilists, supporters of chaos, or even terrorists. In Order without Power, an informative primer, Normand Baillargeon thoroughly defines anarchism and recounts its long history. In outlining the forerunners...

Alexander Berkman was a twentieth-century American revolutionary. Like the abolitionist John Brown before him, Berkman was hugely idealistic, ready to go to the furthest extreme of self-sacrifice and violence on behalf of justice and civil rights. He decided to assassinate industrialist Henry Clay Frick after reading in the newspaper that Pinkertons hired by Frick had opened fire on the Homestead strikers, killing men, women, and children. Berkman's...

What impels someone to abandon middle-class privilege for the sake of revolution? In the 1960s, Meinhof began to see the world in increasingly stark terms: the United States was emerging as an unstoppable superpower, massacring a tiny country overseas despite increasingly popular dissent at home; and Germany appeared to be run by former Nazis. Never before translated into English, Meinhof's writings show a woman increasingly engaged in the major political...

El anarquismo fue una ideología que dio respuesta a la sociedad capitalista en el momento más álgido de su desarrollo en el siglo XIX, teniendo en su base una fuerte defensa de la libertad individual que llegaba hasta solicitar la desaparición del Estado. Las ideas libertarias, herederas de tradiciones de lucha antiautoritaria, representaron un nuevo modelo social, organizativo, económico y político que rivalizaba con otras corrientes del movimiento...

« Le discours solidaire des puissants n'est qu'un leurre, puisqu'en réalité ils comptent bien davantage sur l'égoïsme et l'isolement des individus pour asseoir leur pouvoir. Le xxe siècle a été l'occasion de faire croire aux populations du monde, et en premier lieu à celles des pays industrialisés, que le "chacun pour soi" était la voie unique de la réussite. Le capitalisme [...] a conduit à des aberrations inédites en matière d'inégalités...

" C'est chimère d'attendre que l'Anarchie, idéal humain, puisse sortir de la République, forme gouvernementale. Les deux évolutions se font en sens inverse, et le changement ne peut s'accomplir que par une rupture brusque, c'est-à-dire par une révolution. C'est par décret que les républicains font le bonheur du peuple, par la police qu'ils ont la prétention de se maintenir ! Le pouvoir n'étant autre chose que l'emploi de la force, leur premier...
