Ballad of the anarchist bandits by 8862372|John M. Merriman book cover

๐Ÿ“˜ Ballad of the anarchist bandits

"For six terrifying months in 1911-1912, the citizens of Paris were gripped by a violent crime streak. A group of bandits went on a rampage throughout the city and its suburbs, robbing banks and wealthy Parisians, killing anyone who got in their way, and always managing to stay one step ahead of the police. But Jules Bonnot and the Bonnot Gang weren't just ordinary criminals; they were anarchists, motivated by the rampant inequality and poverty in Paris. John Merriman tells this story through the eyes of two young, idealistic lovers: Victor Kibaltchiche (later the famed Russian revolutionary and writer Victor Serge) and Rirette Maรฎtrejean, who chronicled the Bonnot crime spree in the radical newspaper L'Anarchie. While wealthy Parisians frequented restaurants on the Champs-ร‰lysรฉes, attended performances at the magnificent new opera house, and enjoyed the decadence of the so-called Belle ร‰poque, Victor, Rirette, and their friends occupied a vast sprawl of dank apartments, bleak canals, and smoky factories. Victor and Rirette rejected the violence of Bonnot and his cronies, but to the police it made no difference. Victor was imprisoned for years for his anarchist beliefs, Bonnot was hunted down and shot dead, and his fellow bandits were sentenced to death by guillotine or lifelong imprisonment. Fast-paced and gripping, Ballad of the Anarchist Bandits is a tale of idealists and lost causes--and a vivid evocation of Paris in the dizzying years before the horrors of World War I were unleashed."--Jacket flaps.

The Impossibilities of Anarchism by 861371|George Bernard Shaw book cover

๐Ÿ“˜ The Impossibilities of Anarchism

George Bernard Shaw (1856โ€“1950) possessed magnificent wit and command of language which made him unsurpassed as a dramatist and literary critic; it also made him a formidable spokesman for socialism, to which for the best part of a century he devoted much of his great talent. After a relatively brief flirtation with anarchism, Shaw became one of the major figures in the Fabian Society, an organization of British intellectuals advocating moderate evolutionary socialism. In the first part (omitted here) of this essay, he criticizes individualist anarchism, as advocated by the American, Benjamin Tucker. His discussion of โ€œCommunismโ€ refers to a form of anarchism then called communist, with Peter Kropotkinโ€™s ideas the main example. By โ€œSocial-Democracyโ€ Shaw means democratic so-cialism, such as that urged by the Fabian Society.
