Lawlessness

These anarchist principles which were formulated under the inspiration of Bakunin at the Congress of St.
Imier, 1872, continue to point a good direction for us today. Those who have tried to act in contradiction
to them have disappeared, because however defined, government, dictatorship and parliament can only
lead the people back to slavery. All experience so far bears this out. Needless to say, for the delegates of
St. Imier as for us and all anarchists, the abolition of political power is not possible without the
simultaneous destruction of economic privilege.
