E. Armand, “Les « besoins factices », les stimulants et les individualistes” (1916)

September 22, 2019 Shawn P. Wilbur

les « besoins factices », les stimulant et les Individualistes It is will which distinguishes the evolution of man from the evolution of the brute. The brute is modified by its environment. Man modifies its environment. Man develops by the exercise of choice as to conduct. He selects what is best for him, as he sees it. William Marion REEDY. [C’est la volonté que distingue l’évolution de l’homme de celle de la brute. La brute est modifiée par son environnement. L’homme modifie son environnement. L’homme se développe par l’exercice du discernement dans sa conduite. Il sélectionne ce qu’il y de mieux, selon […]

E. Armand, “A vous, les humbles” (1917)

September 21, 2019 Shawn P. Wilbur

A vous, les humbles Depuis que la nécessité ou la contrainte collective ont groupé en sociétés les parasites le la planète — depuis qu’a commencé l’histoire, — vous avez existé, vous les humbles. Les humbles, — c’est-à-dire tous ceux qu’ont méprisé ou que dédaignent les chefs, les porteurs de pourpre, les arrivés, les privilégiés, les occupants de situations d’autorité, les détenteurs de révélations mystérieuses, les accapareurs de richesses. Les humbles — c’est-à-dire tous ceux auxquels les dominants ne se sont intéressés que lorsqu’il s’est agi d’assurer leur domination ou d’asseoir leur suprématie. Les humbles, — les sous-hommes, les esclaves, les […]

E. Armand, “La propagande vraie” (1905)

September 21, 2019 Shawn P. Wilbur

E. Armand, “La propagande vraie,” L’Ère nouvelle 3 no. 35 (Mai-Juin 1905): 121-126. La propagande vraie Les quelques réflexions qui suivent sont l’écho de conversations et de controverses auxquelles j’ai pris part ces derniers temps. J’ai eu, en effet, depuis quelques mois, le privilège de m’entretenir non seulement avec des amis inconnus ou que je ne connaissais que par oui dire, mais encore avec des adversaires où bien avec des personnes ignorant en partie ou en entier nos conceptions libertaires, J’ai donc fait acte de propagande. Or, d’une façon plus nette que jamais — car j’estime que c’est chose grave […]

Josiah Warren, “Response to the Call of the National Labor Union” (1871)

September 20, 2019 Shawn P. Wilbur

This is a very small and very simply thing to the eye; but, considered as a new element in human affairs, no mind can measure its magnitude.

We are on the same road will all the old countries.—The French have arrived at the precipice a little before us; but this is all the difference between us, unless we strike out a new path, and introduce New Financial Elements:— ☞ We have no time to lose!!

The Boston House of Equity and A. B. Keith

September 20, 2019 Shawn P. Wilbur

The Boston House of Equity was one of a number of commercial establishment organized on in the wake of Josiah Warren’s lectures on equitable commerce. It’s eventual failure to succeed in the same way as Warren’s own experiments may have been at least partially the result of the character of its proprietor, Amos B. Keith. The clippings here are simply what I have uncovered of the story so far and shouldn’t be taken as in any sense definitive. Clippings: Boston House of Equity. The unoccupied portions of Gray’s buildings, on the Chickering estate, have been leased to the Boston House […]

September 19, 2019 Shawn P. Wilbur

E. D. Linton, Political platform for the coming party, Boston : [s.n.], 1871. William West and E. D. Linton, “Political platform for the coming party,” Woodhull & Claflin’s Weekly 4 no. 9(January 13, 1872): 3-4. “Edward D. Linton,” The Index 8 no. 400 (August 23, 1877): 403. This text, issued as an anonymous pamphlet, is sometimes attributed to Josiah Warren himself, but seems to have been the work of his friend Edward D. Linton, a social reformer of some significance himself. I’ve appended an short biographical notice of Linton from The Index. A Documentary History of the Movement for Equitable […]

Henry Edger, “Prostitution and the International Woman’s League,” The Radical Review 1, no. 3 (November 1877): 397-418. PROSTITUTION AND THE INTERNATIONAL WOMAN’S LEAGUE. Human questions need for their effectual study to be regarded from all points of view, and from all points of view simultaneously. — Richard Congreve. A YEAR or two ago there were distributed to a select few in this and some other countries some pamphlets, —one the Prospectus, and another the “ Constitution and By-laws,” of a projected “International Woman’s League,” the object of which League is stated to be “ the advancement and elevation of woman […]

Benoît Malon, “Dom Deschamps” (1888)

September 19, 2019 Shawn P. Wilbur

Benoît Malon, « Dom Deschamps », La revue socialiste 8 no. (Septembre 1888) : 256-266. DOM DESCHAMPS UN BENEDICTIN DU DIX-HUITIEME SIECLE, PRECURSEUR DE L’HEGELIANISME, DU TRANSFORMISME ET DU COMMUNISME ANARCHISTE. Autant que le Jean Meslier communiste et révolutionnaire, que nous avons présenté ici même à nos lecteurs (1), le bénédictin philosophe et communiste dont il va être question mérite d’être connu du public socialiste. Meslier était méconnu, Dom Deschamps est inconnu ; leur destinée a d’ailleurs quelques concordances. L’année même où Ch. Rudolf révélait à l’histoire le véritable Jean Meslier, un philosophe éclectique, M. Beaussire découvrait Dom Deschamps dans la […]
