Description
Anarchism is a philosophical and political creed which many individuals
have subscribed to over the centuries, and for which many have been
persecuted by other more authoritive ideologies like fascism and state
socialism. There have been anarchist-inspired revolutions – in Spain, in
the Ukraine, in Mexico – which have in turn led to (however short-lived)
anarchist administrations. But anarchism''s power has, first and foremost,
been the power of the lone protestor, the dissenter who is unafraid to
expose himself to reprisal for the sake of preaching the real gospel of
liberty, equality and fraternity which so many so-called revolutionaries
usually leave in tatters once they graduate from barricades to corridors of
power. The author argues that the spirit of anarchism is in the voice of
Tolstoy, of Gandhi, of Bakunin and of Godwin, of Camus and of Chomsky.
