E. Armand, The Anarchist Individualist Initiation — XVI

September 1, 2019 Shawn P. Wilbur

The Anarchist Individualist Initiation E. ARMAND [ENGLISH TEXT ONLY] ☜ 15. The inner life, sensibility and individualist sentimentalism. The problem of education. 17. Solidarity. Sociability. Camaraderie. ☞ 16. La solidarité. La sociabilité La camaraderie 165) L’obligatoire solidarité. Mystiques, légalitaires, socialistes, communistes, écrivent et discourent sur une solidarité qui lierait tous les hommes : ceux-là parce qu’ils se basent sur cette affirmation gratuite que « Dieu » est le père du genre humain, ceux-ci parce que la loi est le lien qui réunit les hommes puisqu’il leur permet de vivre en société, les autres parce que production et consommation sont si inextricablement liées […]

Varieties of Anarchist Entente

August 30, 2019 Shawn P. Wilbur

Anarchism had hardly been established as a widely used keyword before the struggles over its scope and proper meaning became equally widespread. Indeed, we might say that anarchism became a keyword precisely as an attempt to draw lines between, on the one hand, authoritarian and anti-authoritarian factions in the International and, on the other, the “modern” anti-authoritarian communists and all other anarchistic tendencies. And the widespread divisions gave rise, just as rapidly, to proposals for unity or at least toleration between anarchists if different currents. We might recognize, then, that, alongside the various tendencies defined by proposed economic and social […]

E. Armand to Max Nettlau, July 20, 1935

August 30, 2019 Shawn P. Wilbur

Dear camarade,

I received La anarquía á través de los tiempos from Tierra y Libertad. I am sorry to find there such a short mention of l’en dehors and the individualist movement in France, a mention that responds neither to the exact character of my efforts nor to the difficulties I have faced since 1901. You have been more impartial in your works in German.

Benjamin R. Tucker, “Anarchism: Communist or Individualist?” (FR/EN)

August 30, 2019 Shawn P. Wilbur

Our era demands imperatively an economic solution. No movement of social transformation will gain immense proportions if it does not first satisfy that demand. That is why the “immense movement, truly anarchist in sentiment” that Max Nettlau proclaims as “absolutely indispensable well before the question of economic remedies arises” appears to me absolutely impossible.

Bakunin on Life, Harmony and Struggle (1872)

August 28, 2019 Shawn P. Wilbur

These are excerpts from a letter written by Bakunin to Celso Ceretti, in Locarno, Switzerland, March 13-27, 1872. There is a great deal more in the letter worth examining, but the translation will have to wait for another day. I have been very distressed to see that the General [Garibaldi?], dismayed by the clashing of democratic and socialist opinions in Italy, has ended, so to speak, by giving up the idea of assembling this Congress, or else putting it off to an undetermined time, when there will be more harmony in ideas. I believe that if you wish to wait […]

Henry Olerich, “A Cityless and Countryless World” (1893)

August 24, 2019 Shawn P. Wilbur

Reviews: A CITYLESS AND COUNTRYLESS WORLD. BY MARIE LOUISE. Under this caption, Mr. Henry Olerich, of Holstein, Iowa, writes a 447 page book on “Practical Cooperative Individualism.” Like all speculative philosophers, the author believes in the forceful action of the allegoric style on the minds ol intelligent men and women. To that effect, he introduces to us a Mr. Midith, who was born on the planet Mars and had undertaken to visit our earth by means of a “projectile.” The missile reached our planet, not on solid ground, but in the waves of the Pacific, about a mile from the […]
