The Anarchism of Emile Armand

If you are interested in English translations of anarchist theory, pick up this zine. Its premise implies that the ideas of the classical anarchist Emile Armand are needed in our society which is constructed of “political correctness and unending governmental interference in our lives.” As capitalism and democracy suggests, the government is comprised of the collective rights of individuals bound to a similar ideology. Such is the way of our world, and certainly blind acceptance is not the goal of this zine but to educate the reader of the ideals of anarchism as they represent individual rights or, in the words of the theorist, the “negation of governmental authority…antagonism to all situations regulated by imposition, constraint, violence, governmental oppression, whether these are a product of all, a group, or of one person.” The read is dry, repetitive and I don’t believe a person needs to label themselves in order to be an individual.
