Cerca de siete años después, los enemigos del movimiento revolucionario makhnovista han desencadenado tantas mentiras respecto a él que podemos asombrarnos de que esta gente no logre avergonzarse de eso por lo menos de vez en cuando.
Es bastante característico que estas mentiras desvergonzadas dirigidas contra mí y los insurgentes makhnovistas, de hecho contra nuestro movimiento en conjunto, unan a gente de campos sociopolíticos muy diferentes: podemos encontrar allí a periodistas de toda pluma, escritores, eruditos y profanos que se pisan los talones, merodeadores y especuladores, los cuales no dudan a veces en presentarse como pioneros de las ideas revolucionarias vanguardistas.

Di là dall’oceano, dalla terra dei morti, ci giunge il grido di migliaia di compagni provati a tutte le tempeste della lotta. La reazione non li ha piegati, saldi nella fede che li anima, tenaci nei propositi di rivendicazione. I compagni di Detroit accolgono quel grido e ci chiamano all’opera buona della solidarietà che educa, eleva e determina all’azione spregiudicata e iconoclasta, che significa giustizia e vendetta di tutti i misfatti di cui si è oggetto. Cecità od apatia possono indurre le classi lavoratrici a trascurare l’alto monito che l’invito include e, magari, un certo senso di apparente sicurezza e benessere nella nozione di una minore oppressione può lasciare indifferenti per le sventure di chi è lontano.

At the beginning of the 1840s, in a wine bar in northern Friedrichstrasse in Berlin — it was opposite the present Zentralhotel and its proprietor was named Hippel — there gathered every evening a circle of men who called themselves “The Free”, or at least they were so-called by the public. It was named “The Free” because its members belonged to the extreme left in the intellectual and political movement of those days.

The victorious revolution of the workers and peasants in 1917 was legally established in the Bolshevik calendar as the October Revolution. There is sane truth in this, but it is not entirely exact. In October 1917 the workers and peasants of Russia surmounted a colossal obstacle to the development of their Revolution. They abolished the nominal power of the capitalist class, but even before that they achieved something of equal revolutionary importance and perhaps even more fundamental. By taking the economic power from the capitalist class, and the land from the large owners in the countryside, they achieved the right to free and uncontrolled work in the towns, if not the total control of the factories. Consequently, it was well before October that the revolutionary workers destroyed the base of capitalism. All that was left was the superstructure. Continue reading The Two Octobers→
“When one thoroughly knows and deeply examines the notion of individuality and the consequences that derive from the principle that is its basis, meaning that every man is not only related to the world in a particular way, but also to every object in the world and to every idea that these objects awaken, one is astonished that so much natural discord is possible side by side with so much historical concord.” Continue reading Contributions to the History of Individualism* by Anselm Ruest and Salomo Friedlaender→
Nosotros deseamos decir a los compañeros, a los amigos, al pueblo argentino, que sabemos cuán grande, sublime y heroica es su solidaridad hacia nosotros.
Sabemos que habéis dado el pan y el reposo vuestro, vuestra sangre y vuestra libertad por nosotros. Sabemos que hubo quien dió su vida por nosotros.
“When one thoroughly knows and deeply examines the notion of individuality and the consequences that derive from the principle that is its basis, meaning that every man is not only related to the world in a particular way, but also to every object in the world and to every idea that these objects awaken, one is astonished that so much natural discord is possible side by side with so much historical concord.”
