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. […]
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.

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 […]

As part of the ongoing project of documenting E. Armand’s work, I’ll be assembling pages for each year that l’en dehors was published, beginning somewhat selectively with texts that particularly caught my eye. Gradually, these […]
LA REVOLUTION ANARCHISTE … Je crois au socialisme pour les socialistes comme je crois à l’anarchisme pour les anarchistes ; je crois que tous les autres systèmes ou points de vue sont faits pour convenir […]
Beginning with its first issue in 1928, the pages of La Voix Libertaire were the site of an interesting debate on Sébastien Faure’s conception of the anarchist synthesis. I’ll be collecting the texts and gradually […]
The work of an Anarchist Encyclopedia appearing indispensable to some comrades, who think that such a document would serve a useful purpose, for every person could consult there the expressions, terms and subjects that constantly figure in the texts of all the writers, which escape for the moment those who know, and would instruct those who do not yet and and who desire to learn.
