For Anarchy To Succeed Or Simply To

We Follow Ideas And Not Men, And Rebel Against This Habit Of Embodying A Principle In A Man.

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.

Anarchists Are Opposed To Violence; Everyone Knows That. The Main Plank Of Anarchism Is The Removal Of Violence From Human Relations. It Is Life Based On Freedom Of The Individual, Without The Intervention Of The Gendarme. For This Reason We Are The Enemies Of Capitalism Which Depends On The Protection Of The Gendarme To Oblige Workers To Allow Themselves To Be Exploited--or Even To Remain Idle And Go Hungry When It Is Not In The Interest Of The Bosses To Exploit Them. We Are Therefore Enemies Of The State Which Is The Coercive Violent Organization Of Society.

We Anarchists Do Not Want To Emancipate The People; We Want The People To Emancipate Themselves.

In The Anarchist Milieu, Communism, Individualism, Collectivism, Mutualism And All The Intermediate And Eclectic Programmes Are Simply The Ways Considered Best For Achieving Freedom And Solidarity In Economic Life; The Ways Believed To Correspond More Closely With Justice And Freedom For The Distribution Of The Means Of Production And The Products Of Labour Among Men. Bakunin Was An Anarchist, And He Was A Collectivist, An Outspoken Enemy Of Communism Because He Saw In It The Negation Of Freedom And, Therefore, Of Human Dignity.
