The Anarchists set off World War I with a gunshot in Sarajevo - but they faded away. It wasn't that the police drove them out of business. The ideology had nowhere to go except into permanent negativity.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I never have been an anarchist, I've always had goals and always have acted out of love.
I wish to say that we Anarchists have never changed our position. We are Anarchists as of old and still pursue the same ideals.
I'm not an anarchist any longer, because I've concluded that anarchism is an impractical ideal.
My politics were pretty anarchistic until 1969 when the Montreal police went on strike. Within hours, mayhem and rioting broke out and the Mounties had to be called in to restore order. It instilled in me that one's convictions can be subjected to empirical test.
Anarchists are socialists because they want the improvement of society, and they are communists because they are convinced that such a transformation of society can only result from the establishment of a commonwealth of property.
I much preferred the approach at the anarchist camp, with its shared tasks and collective responsibilities. Everyone played their part. There was no division between workers and consumers.
I was the only guy with any bit of anarchy left.
I'm not an anarchist. I believe in government.
I thought of myself as kind of an anarchist all my whole adult life, from the days when I was 15 or 16.
Fortunately, no country was ever more suited for anarchist agitation than present-day America.
