    What has anarchism, at one time dominant in the Romance countries, contributed in recent European history?

    • No doctrine, revolutionary teaching, or theory.
    • Fragmentation of the working-class movement.
    • Complete fiasco in the experiments of the revolutionary movement (Proudhonism, 1871; Bakuninism, 1873).
    • Subordination of the working class to bourgeois politics in the guise of negation of politics.

      Heh, yesterday i suggested some anarchist to read State and Revolution because of his misconception and he responded to me with this super deep gem of anarchist thought:

      “Governments oppress mankind in two ways, either directly, by brute force, that is physical violence, or indirectly, by depriving them of the means of subsistence and thus reducing them to helplessness at discretion.” - Errico Malatesta

      No wonder anarchists are like they are if observations this banal are quotable gotchas to them…
