Title: To Be Anarchist Author: Jean Marius Date: May 1927 Language: en Topics: Libertarian Labyrinth Source: Retrieved from https://www.libertarian-labyrinth.org/working-translations/jean-marius-etre-anarchiste-1927/ Notes: L’En dehors 6 no. 108 (début Mai 1927): 3.
Following a meeting in which the speaker reproached the anarchist
individualists for promoting the crushing of the weak by the strong, for
giving free rein to brutal instincts, I was led to clarify what I meant
by “being anarchist.”
For me, to be anarchist is to reject all external authority. But that
does not imply the absence of all ethics. While its sense differs from
that of the masters and shepherds, we do, however, have our own ethics,
since we desire that individuals mutually insure the greatest possible
sum of pleasures and happiness without encroaching on the liberty of
other; since, to constraint, we oppose liberty.
