" C'est chimère d'attendre que l'Anarchie, idéal humain, puisse sortir de la République, forme gouvernementale. Les deux évolutions se font en sens inverse, et le changement ne peut s'accomplir que par une rupture brusque, c'est-à-dire par une révolution. C'est par décret que les républicains font le bonheur du peuple, par la police qu'ils ont la prétention de se maintenir ! Le pouvoir n'étant autre chose que l'emploi de la force, leur premier...

With the rise of the global protestor-from Arab Spring to the Occupy movement-the term "anarchist" has been littered throughout mainstream media as never before. But just as frequently, its definition is skewed or left wanting: anarchists are painted as nihilists, supporters of chaos, or even terrorists. In Order without Power, an informative primer, Normand Baillargeon thoroughly defines anarchism and recounts its long history. In outlining the forerunners...

Originally written in 1969 and updated for the twenty-first century, About Anarchism is an uncluttered, precise, and urgently necessary expression of practical anarchism. Crafted in deliberately simple prose...

In arguably the most radical book published in decades, cartoonist/columnist Ted Rall has produced the book he was always meant to write: a new manifesto for an America heading toward economic and political collapse. While others mourn the damage to the postmodern American capitalist system created by the recent global economic collapse, Rall sees an opportunity.

Paris, avril 1850. Un jeune homme fait paraître ce qui peut être considéré comme le premier manifeste anarchiste de l'histoire. Publié dans le premier numéro de L'Anarchie. Journal de l'ordre, ce Manifeste constitue un virulent plaidoyer contre la farce électorale, la fourberie des partis politiques, ainsi qu'un vibrant appel à l'abstention généralisée.
On sait peu de choses du singulier personnage que fut Anselme Bellegarrigue (1813-1869),...

Alexander Berkman was a twentieth-century American revolutionary.

He decided to assassinate industrialist Henry Clay Frick after reading in the newspaper that Pinkertons hired by Frick had opened fire on the Homestead strikers, killing men, women, and children. Berkman's...

What impels someone to abandon middle-class privilege for the sake of revolution? In the 1960s, Meinhof began to see the world in increasingly stark terms: the United States was emerging as an unstoppable superpower, massacring a tiny country overseas despite increasingly popular dissent at home; and Germany appeared to be run by former Nazis. Never before translated into English, Meinhof's writings show a woman increasingly engaged in the major political...
