Book Description
Anarchism is a political philosophy and movement that is skeptical of all justifications for authority and seeks to abolish the institutions it claims maintain unnecessary coercion and hierarchy, typically including, though not necessarily limited to, governments, nation states, and capitalism. Anarchism advocates for the replacement of the state with stateless societies or other forms of free associations. As a historically left-wing movement, this reading of anarchism is placed on the farthest left of the political spectrum, it is usually described as the libertarian wing of the socialist movement (libertarian socialism).

Book Description
Probably no agitation has ever attained the magnitude, either in the number of its recruits or the area of its influence, which has been attained by Modern Socialism. State Socialism and Anarchism is an elaborate comparative study of the doctrines of Godwin, Proudhon, Bakunin, Kropotkin, Tucker, and Tolstoy.

Book Description
THERE is a deal of confusion and uncertainty in the use of the words "Socialist," "Anarchist,"and "Nihilist." Even the '1st himself commonly knows with as little accuracy what he is as the rest ofus know why he is. The Socialist believes that most human affairs should be regulated and managedby the State-the Government-that is to say, the majority. Our own system has many Socialisticfeatures and the trend of republican government is all that way. The Anarchist is the kind of lunaticwho believes that all crime is the effect of laws forbidding it-as the pig that breaks into the kitchengarden is created by the dog that chews its ear! The Anarchist favors abolition of all law andfrequently belongs to an organization that secures his allegiance by solemn oaths and dreadfulpenalties. "Nihilism" is a name given by Turgenieff to the general body of Russian discontent whichfinds expression in antagonizing authority and killing authorities. Constructive politics would seem, as yet, to be a cut above the Nihilist's intelligence; he is essentially a destructionary. He is sodiligently engaged in unweeding the soil that he has not given a thought to what he will grow there.Nihilism may be described as a policy of assassination tempered by reflections upon Siberia.American sympathy with it is the offspring of an unholy union between the tongue of a liar and theear of a dupe.Upon examination it will be seen that political dissent, when it takes any form more coherent thanthe mere brute dissatisfaction of a mind that does not know what it wants to want, finds expressionin one of but two ways-in Socialism or in Anarchism. Whatever methods one may think will bestsubstitute for a system gradually evolved from our needs and our natures a system existing only inthe minds of dreamers, one is bound to choose between these two dreams. Yet such is theintellectual delinquency of many who most strenuously denounce the system that we have that wenot infrequently find the same man advocating in one breath, Socialism, in the next, Anarchism.Indeed, few of these sons of darkness know that even as coherent dreams the two are incompatible.With Anarchy triumphant the Socialist would be a thousand years further from realization of hishope than he is today. Set up Socialism on a Monday and on Tuesday the country would be en fête, gaily hunting down Anarchists. There would be little difficulty in trailing them, for they have not somuch sense as a deer, which, running down the wind, sends its tell-tale fragrance on before.Socialism and Anarchism are the two extremes of political thought; they are parts of the samedung, in the sense that the terminal points of a road are parts of the same road. Between them, about midway, lies the system that we have the happiness to endure. It is a "blend" of Socialism andAnarchism in about equal parts: all that is not one is the other. Everything serving the commoninterest, or looking to the welfare of the whole people, is socialistic in the strictest sense of the wordas understood by the Socialist Whatever tends to private advantage or advances an individual orclass interest at the expense of a public one, is anarchistic. Cooperation is Socialism; competition isAnarchism. Competition carried to its logical conclusion (which only cooperation prevents or canprevent) would leave no law in force no property possible no life secure.Of course the words "cooperation" and "competition" are not here used in a merely industrial andcommercial sense; they are intended to cover the whole field of human activity.

Book Description
“...the starting point for anyone concerned with the antecedents of libertarianism in the United States...” MEN AGAINST THE STATE first appeared in the spring of 1953. Within a matter of months it had received nearly fifty highly commendatory reviews in thirteen countries in seven languages. Few products of American scholarly research in our time have gained more widespread international respect in such a short time. This book brought back into view a tradition which almost disappeared between the beginning of the First World War and the end of the Second, the philosophy and deeds of anti-statist libertarian voluntarism in the United States during the three generations which flourished between 1825 and 1910, in a style which a London commentator described as “a model of readable scholarship.” In the 1950s, the era of the “organization man” and almost unparalleled political passivity, MEN AGAINST THE STATE may have been a premature book, as some have observed, despite being reprinted two more times later in the decade. This quiet and unsensational circulation continued to further its reputation, nevertheless. In the last ten years however it has been recognized by many as the starting point for anyone concerned with the antecedents of libertarianism in the United States. The spread of interest in such thinking among a new generation has prompted the reissuance of this book, in a conventionally-printed popularly priced edition for the first time.
