Anarchism of the Encounter

Let us recall the principle. The reason for the institution of government, as we have said, is the economic anarchy. When the Revolution has regulated this anarchy, and organized the industrial forces, there is no further pretext for political centralization; it is absorbed in industrial solidarity, a solidarity which is based upon general reason, and of which we may say, as Pascal said of the universe, that its center is everywhere, its circumference nowhere.
