If on the one side we do not harbor the illusion that the entire proletariat must be enlightened before it can be called into battle, so on the other we do not doubt that as much enlightenment as possible must be produced with oral and printed agitation.
From Johann Most
Anarchists prepare for social revolution and use every means- speech, writing, or deed, whichever is more to the point - to accelerate revolutionary development.
As set forth by theologians, the idea of 'God' is an argument that assumes its own conclusions, and proves nothing.
'God' - as revealed in his book of edicts and narratives is practically an idiot. He has nothing to say that any sensible person should want to listen to.
Fortunately, no country was ever more suited for anarchist agitation than present-day America.
The aims of anarchists and true communists are identical.
Is anarchism possible? The failure of attempts to attain freedom does not mean the cause is lost.
They make revolutionary propaganda because they know the privileged class can never be overturned peacefully.
While we have entertained the contention that a deed may make more propaganda than hundreds of speeches, thousands of articles, and tens of thousands of pamphlets, we have held that an arbitrary act of violence will not necessarily have such an effect.
Above all, what socialist, without flushing with shame, maintains he is not a revolutionary? We say: none!.
