This book explores the profound history and development of anti-government and anti-state ideas in Europe in the 19th century. The author traces the evolution of these ideas, from the early French Revolution through the social and economic upheavals of the time. The book delves into the philosophies of influential thinkers like Proudhon, who argued for the abolition of the state and the sovereignty of the individual. It examines the emergence of mutual credit and the suppression of interest on capital as central themes in the movement. The author also discusses the concept of the individual as the central authority and the attempts to reconcile liberty and centralization. By providing a nuanced understanding of these ideas and their historical context, the book sheds light on the complex relationship between the individual, the state, and the pursuit of a free and just society.

Excerpt from The Abolition of the State: An Historical and Critical Sketch of the Parties Advocating Direct Government, a Federal Republic, or Individualism

The anti-governmental and anti-state school I desire to put an end to the era of imposed authority, and of a state of things in which the governing and the governed coexist, and demand that society can effect nothing without previously obtaining the assent of the majority. But as this majority would in nearly every case vary, the idea of a majority and a minority in society would cease to exist; and it therefore could not be said that the latter were tyrannised over by the former.

Excerpt from The Abolition of the State: An Historical and Critical Sketch of the Parties Advocating Direct Government, a Federal Republic, or Individualism

The future historian of the democratic and revolutionary movement on the Continent will he obliged to point out that in it the mainspring was the free development of the individual. In France, Germany, and Spain the Fetish-worship of the Government has in the extreme circles of democracy entirely ceased, and we can, in fact, almost call the most advanced section of the party of Progress the party of the Ungovernables.
