“In the anarchist milieu, communism, individualism, collectivism, mutualism and all the intermediate and eclectic programmes are simply the ways considered best for achieving freedom and solidarity in economic life; the ways believed to correspond more closely with justice and freedom for the distribution of the means of production and the products of labour among men. Bakunin was an anarchist, and he was a collectivist, an outspoken enemy of communism because he saw in it the negation of freedom and, therefore, of human dignity.” MenWayHumansMeanJusticeEnemySawsEconomicAchieveProductsDignityProductionsCommunismLabourIndividualismSolidarityDistributionAnarchismAnarchistProgrammesCollectivismHuman DignityEclecticNegationOutspokenMilieu Book:Life and Ideas: The Anarchist Writings of Errico Malatesta Source: Life and Ideas: The Anarchist Writings of Errico Malatesta
