An Anarchist FAQ is an in depth introduction to anarchist
ideas, ideals and history. Find out why anarchism is
opposed to hierarchy, state and capitalism. Find out what
different types of anarchism there is and why it is also
called libertarian socialism. Find out why anarchists oppose
thepresent system and what they aim to replace it with.

It has been updated on June 27th to mark the birth
of Emma Goldman, famous anarchist and feminist
writer.

After becoming an anarchist after the Haymarket events,
she quickly became the most famous anarchist in America.
Expelled from "the land of the free" for seeking true freedom,
she was deported to Bolshevik Russia where she saw the
revolution at first hand. She quickly came to the conclusion
that the Bolsheviks were crushing the revolution in favour of
party dictatorship. After trying to help imprisoned anarchists,
she finally leaves the country convinced that Lenin's USSR
was not remotely socialist. With the outbreak of the Spanish
Revolution in 1936 she wholeheartedly works to help the
Spanish Anarchists while opposing their compromises
in the struggle against fascism.

In addition, visit the updated FAQ links page with over
750 links to anarchist webpages, organisations, papers,
magazine, books, publishers and so on as well as many
non-anarchist but related sites of interest. This can
be found at:

The best one-stop place to discover the anarchist community
on line.

yours in solidarity
