Anarchism is a social movement that seeks liberation from oppressive systems of control including but not limited to the state, capitalism, racism, sexism, speciesism, and religion. Anarchists advocate a self-managed, classless, stateless society without borders, bosses, or rulers where everyone takes collective responsibility for the health and prosperity of themselves and the environment.

Malatesta is the anarchist who most clearly differentiates anarchists from marxists, while recognizing what works: specifically anarchist orgs, participation in unions, working-class self defense. He invented modern anti fascism. Guy doesn't get enough credit.

Anyways, in this one, he calls for anarchist participation in the trade union movement as anarchists. He argues that while unions are a prerequisite for revolution, they are an insufficient organ for it.

While the Italian anarchist revolutions in the 30s and 50s ultimately failed, they came closer than revolutions in anywhere in post-war Europe besides France and Spain, and should be recognized as an essential part of our revolutionary heritage. Who's to say if the Partisan movement would have been a quarter as strong without them.
