Quotes

“Well, yes, those who accused me, at the time of the [Kanak] revolt, of wishing for them the conquest of their freedom, were right. […] Let’s end the superiority that only manifests itself in destruction!”

Louise Michel, Mémoires (1886)

“Fascism, that is, a politico-economic state where the ruling class of each country behaves towards its own people as for several centuries it has behaved to the colonial peoples under its heel…”

Bart de Ligt, The Conquest of Violence (1937 English translation from 1935 French source)

“Our society is essentially communitarian, and a dream come true for anarchists of all kinds.”

Jimmy Ounei, from ‘Socialisme et société future’, Informations et Reflexions Libertaires, (Fev.85)
