All these, however, are based almost exclusively on the information in the memoir,L'Alliance de la Démocratie Socialiste et l'Association Internationale des Travailleurs: Report and documents published by order of the International Congress at The Hague (London and Hamburg, 1873)—a very one-sided party brochure of the Marxists against the Bakuninists, which has been proved wrong on more points than one. We regret all the more that we are limited to this source of information.[33]The expression "go among the people" has since become a well-known Nihilist term.[34]TheCatechismis reproduced in the before-mentioned memoir,L'Alliance de la Démocratie Socialiste, viii.

(The chapter on agriculture was printed separately as a pamphlet in 1892.) We quote below his numerous smaller writings in the editions which we possess, without vouching for the chronological order or completeness of the list.Les Paroles d'un Révolté, 1885;Revolutionary Governments(trans. from German to French, Anarchist Library, vol. i.);Un Siècle d'Attente, 1789-1889, Paris, 1893;La Grande Révolution, Paris, 1893;Les Temps Nouveaux(conference at London), Paris, 1894;Jeunes Gens, 4th ed., Paris, '93;La Loi et l'Autorité, 6th ed., Paris, '92;Les Prisons, 2d ed., Paris, '90;L'Anarchie dans l'Évolution Socialiste, 2d ed., Paris, '92;Esprit de Révolte, Paris, '92, 5th ed.;le Salariat, 2d ed., Paris, '92;La Morale Anarchiste, 1890; "Anarchist Communion: its Basis and Principles" (republished by permission of the editor of theNineteenth Century), London, 1887.[38]L'Anarchie, p. 26.[39]At the Peace Congress at Bern in 1869, Bakunin defended himself against the reproach of Communist tendencies, saying: "I abominate Communism, because it is a denial of freedom, and I cannot understand anything human without freedom. I am no Communist, because Communism concentrates all the forces of society in the State, and lets them be absorbed by it, because it necessarily results in the centralisation of property in the hands of the State; whereas I wish to do away with the State, to utterly root out the principle of the authority and guardianship of the State, which, under the pretence of improving and idealising men, has hitherto enslaved, oppressed, exploited, and ruined them. I wish for the organisation of society and of collective and social property from below upwards, by means of free association, and not from above downwards by means of authority, be it what it may. In demanding the abolition of the State, I mean to abolish the inheritance of property by an individual,i. e., of property that is only a matter of the State's arrangement, and is only a consequence of the principle of the State itself. In this sense I am a Collectivist and by no means a Communist."[40]InAnarchy, p. 13.[41]Les Temps Nouveaux, p. 21.[42]Quoted in Ratzel'sF. Völkerkunde, vol. ii., p. 668. Leipsic and Vienna, 1890.[43]Cf.Wolkenhauer,Elisée Reclus(Globus, vol. lxv., No. 8, Feb., 1894). Reclus's Anarchist writings are:Produit de la Terre et de l'Industrie, 1885;Richesse et Misère; Évolution et Révolution, 6th ed., Paris, 1891; andÀ mon Frère le Paysan, Geneva, 1894.[44]This is seen,inter alia, by the number of persons wandering about seeking food—"a vagabond proletariat." In 1886 no less than 4,951,000 were wandering more than thirty versts from their dwellings. Even the women have to leave the villages to seek support elsewhere, and the number of women and children who thus are compelled to seek work at a distance is increasing every year. Thus,e. g., in the district of the Government of Wjatka, in 1874, 2.68 per cent.; in 1883, 6.46 per cent.; in 1885, 7.22 per cent. of the women capable of work did this. Often whole families wander about, and women with children at the breast are no uncommon sight among the troops of wandering workmen. (Westländer, A.,Russland vor einem Regime-Wechsel, Stuttgart, 1894, p. 28.)[45]Her books,Le Livre de MisèresandPrise de Possession, were not procurable by me, and I had to depend upon Ossip Zetkin's sketch of her inCharakterköpfen aus der französischen Arbeiterbewegung, pp. 40-48, Berlin, 1893, and theVolkslexikon, l. c.[46]Cf.F. Dubois,Le Péril Anarchiste, pp. 93-120; mostly superficial, but good on this topic.[47]I have only seen Malatesta's dialogueBetween Peasantsin a French translation:Entre Paysans, Traduit de l'Italien, 6th ed., Paris, 1892.[48]Now collected asStudien über Proudhon, Stuttgart, 1893.[49]Döle,Eugen Dühring, etwas von dessen Charakter, Leistungen, und reformatorischen Beruf, Leipzig, 1893. Compare also Fr. Engel's, Dühring'sUmwälzung der Wissenschaft, 3d ed. Stuttgart, 1894.[50]See, for a study of his views, the popular publication,Einiges Christenthum, Berlin, 1893, and the weekly paper (since 1894),Versöhrung(Reconciliation).[51]Die Anarchisten, etc.;Zürich Verlagsmagazin; a popular edition has also appeared in Berlin; also an English translation. Boston, 1891; and in French, Paris, 1892.[52]Even in a philosophic sense, Nietzsche's Anarchism is a mere fable. Schellwien truly remarks: "Max Stirner replaces freedom by individuality, by the evolution of the individual as such, but he cannot shew that anything else would happen but the oppression of the weaker individuality by the stronger; a state of things in which not individuality but brute force would reign. Friedrich Nietzsche draws this conclusion, and would have this oppression of the weak by the strong; he would have the aristocratic will of the stronger, who in his eyes are alone the good. He raises the 'will for power' to a world-principle." Elsewhere Nietzsche positively advocates,e. g., the reduction of some men to slavery for the benefit of the aristocracy of the strong. This sort of thing is hardly Anarchism.[53]Diewissenschaftliche revolutionäre Kriegskunst und der Dynamit Führer.[54]Anarchy and Voluntarism (The Free Life), vol. ii., p. 99, October, 1894.[55]The answer is obvious: the inhabitants of Texas.[56]Socialismus und Moderne Wissenschaft, p. 129. Leipsic, 1895.[57]The first groups of the "International" in the Romance-speaking portions of Switzerland had increased so quickly that at a congress in Geneva in 1869 they united themselves into a league of their own, the "Romance Federation," in harmony with the "International," to which members of the "Alliance" and Marxists belonged in almost equal numbers.[58]Révolte, July 8, 1862.[59]Lombroso,Die Anarchisten, p. 33. Hamburg, 1896.[60]Cataline as a follower of Cicero is a new version of the supposed facts.—Trans.[61]Mysticismus, Pietismus, Anti-Semitismus, am Ende des XIXten Jahrhunderts, p. 5, foll. Wien, 1894.[62]The opinion which would relegate Anarchist criminals to the madhouse instead of to the guillotine deserves mention. In this connection, in spite of Neo-Buddhist peculiarities, the little workAnarchismus und Seine Heilung, by Emanuel (Leipsic, 1894), gives fresh points of view.

[39]At the Peace Congress at Bern in 1869, Bakunin defended himself against the reproach of Communist tendencies, saying: "I abominate Communism, because it is a denial of freedom, and I cannot understand anything human without freedom. I am no Communist, because Communism concentrates all the forces of society in the State, and lets them be absorbed by it, because it necessarily results in the centralisation of property in the hands of the State; whereas I wish to do away with the State, to utterly root out the principle of the authority and guardianship of the State, which, under the pretence of improving and idealising men, has hitherto enslaved, oppressed, exploited, and ruined them. I wish for the organisation of society and of collective and social property from below upwards, by means of free association, and not from above downwards by means of authority, be it what it may. In demanding the abolition of the State, I mean to abolish the inheritance of property by an individual,i. e., of property that is only a matter of the State's arrangement, and is only a consequence of the principle of the State itself. In this sense I am a Collectivist and by no means a Communist."

[44]This is seen,inter alia, by the number of persons wandering about seeking food—"a vagabond proletariat." In 1886 no less than 4,951,000 were wandering more than thirty versts from their dwellings. Even the women have to leave the villages to seek support elsewhere, and the number of women and children who thus are compelled to seek work at a distance is increasing every year. Thus,e. g., in the district of the Government of Wjatka, in 1874, 2.68 per cent.; in 1883, 6.46 per cent.; in 1885, 7.22 per cent. of the women capable of work did this. Often whole families wander about, and women with children at the breast are no uncommon sight among the troops of wandering workmen. (Westländer, A.,Russland vor einem Regime-Wechsel, Stuttgart, 1894, p. 28.)

[52]Even in a philosophic sense, Nietzsche's Anarchism is a mere fable. Schellwien truly remarks: "Max Stirner replaces freedom by individuality, by the evolution of the individual as such, but he cannot shew that anything else would happen but the oppression of the weaker individuality by the stronger; a state of things in which not individuality but brute force would reign. Friedrich Nietzsche draws this conclusion, and would have this oppression of the weak by the strong; he would have the aristocratic will of the stronger, who in his eyes are alone the good. He raises the 'will for power' to a world-principle." Elsewhere Nietzsche positively advocates,e. g., the reduction of some men to slavery for the benefit of the aristocracy of the strong. This sort of thing is hardly Anarchism.
