Great Anarchists - Voltairine de Cleyre

 

Great Anarchists

By Ruth Kinna and Clifford Harper. Read by Barbara Graham and Jim Donaghey. Voltairine de Cleyre was an essayist, educator, poet and advocate of anarchy without adjectives. Voltairine’s anarchism bore the hallmarks of free-thinking and abolitionism: the distrust of government and authority, sensitivity to injustice, anti-clericalism and confidence in power of individual reason. Carried into her anarchism, these ideas ran through her critique of government as tyranny, her calls to revolt and her view that social transformation depended on constantly challenging accepted standards of justice, or what she called collective consciousness.
