In the matter of the maintenance and rearing of children the Anarchists would neither institute the communistic nursery which the State Socialists favor nor keep the communistic school system which now prevails.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
Fortunately, no country was ever more suited for anarchist agitation than present-day America.
I'm not an anarchist any longer, because I've concluded that anarchism is an impractical ideal.
If there were no schools to take the children away from home part of the time, the insane asylums would be filled with mothers.
Communism didn't work because people weren't ready for it, it was corrupt, and because it squelched individualism.
If children were brought up to become non-conformists it would only ruin their lives. So parents all over China who loved their children told them to do as Chairman Mao said. It was not possible to tell them anything else.
The capitalist class shoots down mothers and children. It stops at nothing, no matter how monstrous, to prevent the organization of the workers.
I wish to say that we Anarchists have never changed our position. We are Anarchists as of old and still pursue the same ideals.
Communists are people who fancied that they had an unhappy childhood.
The aims of anarchists and true communists are identical.
