During their stint in Communist Russia, the pair questioned Lenin himself about the repression of anarchists there and then fled the country together in Ultimately, they died four years apart, an ocean away from one another.
They only struggle against what already exists, and it is necessary to fight existing violence with violence. That is the only way that a new peace can dawn. If they deny you both, take bread. She remained fearless, even after a lifetime of constant government surveillance, repression, and eventual exile.
When she was 67 and living in London, the Spanish Civil War broke out, and she threw herself into the cause , mustering support for its anti-fascist International Brigades in their battle against the Nationalist troops who were supported by Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, and sharing her admiration for what she saw as the only working class revolution to have been fomented on anarchist ideals.
During the final year of her life, in , Goldman moved to Toronto, where she organized on behalf of Spanish women and children refugees fleeing a victorious dictator General Francisco Franco. It seeks to replace what its proponents view as inherently oppressive institutions — like a capitalist society or the prison industrial complex — with nonhierarchical, horizontal structures powered by voluntary associations between people.
Anarchists organize around a key set of principles, including horizontalism , mutual aid , autonomy, solidarity, direct action , and direct democracy , a form of democracy in which the people make decisions themselves via consensus as opposed to representative democracy , of which the United States government is an example. Anarchism has ancient roots , with the word itself stemming from the ancient Greek anarchos, or "without rulers," but it fully bloomed as a political philosophy in Europe and the United States during the 19th century.
But Proudhon was far from the only prominent thinker to advance the cause of anarchy. In addition to these names, countless others, whose identities have been lost to history, have helped refine and spread the ideology of anarchism. Today, anarchism is a fully global, intersectional philosophy, with particularly strong roots in Latin America, Spain, Germany, and, as of , the Middle East, due to the Rojava Revolution in occupied Kurdistan.
Classic anarchist traditions include mutualism, which is situated at the nexus of individual and collectivist thought; anarcho-communism, which favors community ownership of the means of production, and the abolishment of the state and capitalism; anarcho-syndicalism, which views unions, the working class, and the labor movement as potential forces for revolutionary change; and individualism, which has similarities with libertarianism, and emphasizes individual freedom above all.

He was a Russian-born American anarchist. He was involved in the publication Mother Earth and also his own titled The Blast. Malatesta wrote and edited a number of radical newspapers and was also a friend of Mikhail Bakunin. His most famous work is a pamphlet titled Anarchy. His most famous work is An Anarchist on Anarchy. Only by people who really don't know what they're talking about. How about a list of ' Top Ten basic errors in my Top Ten lists '?
I notice this one is pretty sparse. Like unless you only know of ten anarchists I fail to see how some of these qualify as top 10 if all you've got is their names, their nationalities and one or two book titles. Johann Most was originally a social democrat and one of their early deputies who had brief connections to Engels and Marx, and was closely associated with Wilhelm Liebknecht, even wrote one of the SPDs summaries of Capital.
In addition practically every person on this list is notable for their association with propaganda of the deed as they all advocated propaganda through action, which is what the term means. For example Gustav Landauer the pacifist well he did also join the first Bavarian Soviet Republic was also fond of the term but for him the best propaganda of the deed was the establishment of model new societies to prove they could actually work. What I think you meant to say is that Most is notable for his advocacy of revolutionary terrorism, which interestingly he was arrested on multiple occasions for advocating while still a social democrat.
I'd say he's far more influential in anarchist circles for founding Freiheit the main German language anarchist newspaper that influenced many others especially the Yiddish anarchist and labour movements. As well as agreeing with the sentiments above Goldman was not Russian born she was from Kaunas in Latvia.
Berkman was from Ukraine not Russia. Proudon may have formulated primal economic theories but the worth of these diminished as Anarchism matured.
He was a reactionary IMO. It's like naming an all time football greats lol You could change it every 5 minutes and approach it from different perspectives and serves little purpose with respect. I would put Durruti Makhni Voline and Maximoff ahead of some on that list for what it's worth.
