Idlers Do Not Make History: They Suffer

Anarchy, When It Works To Destroy Authority In All Its Aspects, When It Demands The Abrogation Of Laws And The Abolition Of The Mechanism That Serves To Impose Them, When It Refuses All Hierarchical Organization And Preaches Free Agreement - At The Same Time Strives To Maintain And Enlarge The Precious Kernel Of Social Customs Without Which No Human Or Animal Society Can Exist. Only, Instead Of Demanding That Those Social Customs Should Be Maintained Through The Authority Of A Few, It Demands It From The Continued Action Of All.

We Take Men For What They Are Worth - And That Is Why We Hate The Government Of Man By Man, And That We Work With All Our Might - Perhaps Not Strong Enough - To Put An End To It.

You Know How I Always Believe In The Future. Without Disorder, The Revolution Is Impossible; Knowing That, I Did Not Lose Hope, And I Do Not Lose It Now.

The Education We All Receive From The State, At School And After, Has So Warped Our Minds That The Very Notion Of Freedom Ends Up By Being Lost, And Disguised In Servitude. It Is A Sad Sight To See Those Who Believe Themselves To Be Revolutionaries Unleashing Their Hatred On The Anarchist Just Because His Views On Freedom Go Beyond Their Petty And Narrow Concepts Of Freedom Learned In The State School.

The Two Great Movements Of Our Century -- Towards Liberty Of The Individual And Social Co-operation Of The Whole Community -- Are Summed Up In Anarchist-communism.
