Proudhon and Tucker get psychedelic!

[ezcol_2third] The short article by Proudhon, “God is Evil,” which I posted awhile back, was essentially the introduction to a longer piece, “Man is Free,” which followed it. I now have both articles translated and posted to the Libertarian Labyrinth archive. [/ezcol_2third] [ezcol_1third_end] [/ezcol_1third_end]

— I have recently had the pleasure of paying a visit to the camarade Benj. R. Tucker, whose ideas have been made known to you through our study of the work of Mr. Paul Ghio. Benj. R. Tucker is a great admirer of Max Stirner and of Proudhon, no one will doubt it, and of Mr. Henry Maret. He does not give of himself lightly, so we can only congratulate ourselves on his cordiality, as well as the graciousness of Mme. Tucker. Benj. R. Tucker is not very affectionate toward the libertarians of this country and it was not without  a smile that he frankly declared to us that “there are not three anarchists in France.”

I have read the brochure entitled: Défense du fourièrisme, Réponse à MM. Proudhon, Lamennais, Reybaud, Louis Blanc, etc., and I am pleased with this publication, the author, despite the aberrations of his logic and the injustice of his reproaches, showing himself almost always a friend of progress and full of zeal for science and truth.
