While it is day we will remain
with head high and everything
that we can do we will not leave
before we have done it.
– W. Goethe
We heat our pen in the volcanic fire of our negating spirit. We dip it in our vigorous heart, full of rebellious blood. And in the atheistic light of our mind, we write and write…
So we write, quickly, without literary pursuits, without repugnant theoretical ideologies, without bigoted and sentimental mush from hysterics and political hacks, wrapped only in the cloak of our raging passions.
We write only words of blood, fire and light.

Anarchist individualism as we understand it – and I say we because a substantial handful of friends think this like me – is hostile to every school and every party, every churchly and dogmatic moral, as well as every more or less academic imbecility. Every form of discipline, rule and pedantry is repulsvie to the sincere nobility of our vagabond and rebellious restlessness!
Individualism is, for us, creative force, immortal youth, exalting beauty, redemptive and fruitful war. It is the marvelous apotheosis of the flesh and the tragic epic of the spirit. Our logic is that of not having any. Our ideal is the categorical negation of all other ideals for the greatest and supreme triumph of the actual, real, instinctive, reckless and merry life! For us perfection is not a dream, an ideal, a riddle, a mystery, a sphinx, but a vigorous and powerful, luminous and throbbing reality. All human beings are perfect in themselves. All they lack is the heroic courage of their perfection. Since the time that human beings first believed that life was a duty, a calling, a mission, it has meant shame for their power of being, and in following phantoms, they have denied themselves and distanced themselves from the real. When Christ said to human beings: “be yourselves, perfection is in you!” he launched a superb phrase that is the supreme synthesis of life.

Introduction
The Ukrainian anarchist Maria Nikiforova (1887–1919) has sometimes been compared to Joan of Arc. Like Joan she started from humble origins and, improbably, became a ferocious military commander who was captured and executed by her sworn enemies. And, like Joan, she was a fanatic who pursued her goals in a violent, ruthless fashion.
A lo largo de la Primera Guerra Mundial, Gustav Landauer había tomado una consistente posición anti-guerra. A comienzos de 1918, comenzaron en Alemania huelgas masivas contra la guerra. Los escritos de Landauer rápidamente tuvieron popularidad, especialmente su publicación de 1911, Por el Socialismo. A fines de Octubre de 1918, rompieron motines navales en Kiel, y en Noviembre se formaron asambleas de obreros y de soldados. Mientras la mayoría Social Demócrata proclamó una república, anticipándose a los socialistas radicales, liderados por Karl Liebknecht y Rosa Luxemburg. Landauer fue a Bavaria, donde el socialista independiente, Kurt Eisner, había ya proclamado una república social. Landauer se unió al anarquista <a
