And By Anarchist Spirit I Mean That

Experience Through Freedom Is The Only Means To Arrive At The Truth And The Best Solutions; And There Is No Freedom If There Is Not The Freedom To Be Wrong.

Anarchy Is A Word That Comes From The Greek, And Signifies, Strictly Speaking, "without Government": The State Of A People Without Any Constituted Authority. Before Such An Organization Had Begun To Be Considered Possible And Desirable By A Whole Class Of Thinkers, So As To Be Taken As The Aim Of A Movement (which Has Now Become One Of The Most Important Factors In Modern Social Warfare), The Word "anarchy" Was Used Universally In The Sense Of Disorder And Confusion, And It Is Still Adopted In That Sense By The Ignorant And By Adversaries Interested In Distorting The Truth.

Anarchists Generally Make Use If The Word "state" To Mean All The Collection Of Institutions, Political, Legislative, Judicial, Military, Financial, Etc., By Means Of Which Management Of Their Own Affairs, The Guidance Of Their Personal Conduct, And The Care Of Ensuring Their Own Safety Are Taken From The People And Confided To Certain Individuals, And These, Whether By Usurpation Or Delegation, Are Invested With The Right To Make Laws Over And For All, And To Constrain The Public To Respect Them, Making Use Of The Collective Force Of The Community To This End.

For Anarchy To Succeed Or Simply To Advance Towards Its Success It Must Be Conceived Not Only As A Lighthouse Which Illuminates And Attracts, But As Something Possible And Attainable, Not In Centuries To Come, But In A Relatively Short Time And Without Relying On Miracles.

While Preaching Against Every Kind Of Government, And Demanding Complete Freedom, We Must Support All Struggles For Partial Freedom, Because We Are Convinced That One Learns Through Struggle.
