Disruptive Elements: The Extremes of French Anarchism

Web page
Disruptive Elements is a collection of previously hard to
find or untranslated writings of French anarchists from
the mid-19th to the early 20th century. Much of the
material presented here was translated specifically for
this book, and offers up a lost thread from the fabric of
history, one we find particularly vibrant. The editors do
not presume to provide a monolithic, complete, or
definitive story about French anarchist individualism,
nor do we propose answers, conclusions, or closure on any
of the ideas presented. We sought out the writings of
many of the major figures of the milieu, chose those that
most compelled us, and collected them here. So, a few
important people have been left out: Rirette Ma trejean
makes no appearance for example (she took over
publication of L Anarchie after Libertad s death and
merits our attention).
We have set out to do a number of things in publishing
this material. First, to provide insight on the lives of
forgotten anarchists through their own writings. Far too
little is known about many of the authors herein, despite
the strength of their ideas, their prolific publishing
accomplishments, and the mutual interests they share with
many anarchists today (i.e., a strong affinity to the
ideas of Max Stirner, a deep disdain for the Left,
constantly developing theories on anarchist association,
and an unflinching critique of authority paired with the
insistence that putting an end to an old one should never
mean submission to a new one). Though they played an
early and prominent role in developing and propagating
anarchist thought and action, their lives and writings
have gone unknown or under-acknowledged for too long.
Many of them led vibrant and inspiring lives as
illegalists, propagandists, deserters, travelers and
staunch individualists.
