La politica uccide la rivoluzione

revolução-russa

Volin
Nell’aprile 1917 mi incontrai con Trotsky a New York, in una tipografia che lavorava soprattutto per i diversi giornali russi di sinistra. Allora egli era a capo di un quotidiano marxista di sinistra: Novy Mir. Quanto a me, la Federazione delle Unioni operaie russe mi affidò la redazione degli ultimi numeri, prima della partenza per la Russia, del suo settimanale: Golos Truda, di tendenza anarco-sindacalista.

Anarchism

Pëtr Kropotkin

ANARCHISM (from the Gr. an, and archos, contrary to authority), the name given to a principle or theory of life and conduct under which society is conceived without government — harmony in such a society being obtained, not by submission to law, or by obedience to any authority, but by free agreements concluded between the various groups, territorial and professional, freely constituted for the sake of production and consumption, as also for the satisfaction of the infinite variety of needs and aspirations of a civilized being. In a society developed on these lines, the voluntary associations which already now begin to cover all the fields of human activity would take a still greater extension so as to substitute themselves for the state in all its functions.

A Letter of Aron Baron from Biysk [1925]

April 12, 1925

Dear Mark,

It’s likely that I’m not without blame in the fact that there are such large gaps between my letters. In addition to a multitude of circumstances “beyond my control”, there are also circumstances which I can control; concerning which it is not convenient to speak of in a letter and the story of which I shall postpone until I meet with you in person. And this is how I imagine it to myself: you and I must get together to talk about everything and of course we won’t be satisfied with just conversations. I don’t know when our get-together will take place (possibly not for a few years), but it really must take place. Then, among other things, I shall explain some of the causes of my current lack of punctuality in correspondence. Until then, I’ll let it go.

El propio título nos aclara ya lo que es su leitmotiv y su objetivo esencial, la revelación de aspectos clave ignorados o tergiversados por la historiografía oficial y que resultan imprescindibles para enjuiciar los acontecimientos de 1917 en Rusia.
