Tintin's back with his pals, battling it out against the State and bringing the old world to its knees, in a classic full-length story of love, struggle and revolution.

Anarchist and feminist Emma Goldman is one of the towering figures in global radicalism of the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. An early advocate of birth control and women's rights, as well as a dedicated anarchist, she was an important and influential figure in such far-flung events as teh Russian Revolution and the Spanish Civil War. In addition to her classic essay ("Anarchism: What It Really Stands For"!), which lays out anarchist ideals, this volume contains six other essays on prisons to marriage, direct action, violence, and sexuality.

The story tells of a thief. A thief with egalitarian illusions. An anarchist and his dreams. But with a difference: this man, along with his comrades, really did open the safes of the rich, and by this simple fact demonstrated that an attack on social wealth, even if only partial, is possible.

This book takes examples from around the world, picking through history and anthropology, showing that people have, in different ways and at different times, demonstrated mutual aid, self-organization, autonomy, horizontal decision making, and so forth--the principles that anarchy is founded on--regardless of whether they called themselves anarchists or not. Too well documented to be strictly mythology, and too expansive to be strictly anthropology, this is an inspiring answer to the people who say that anarchists are utopian: a point-by-point introduction to how anarchy can and has actually worked.
