Or maybe no system persists if you fail to do basic upkeep.

Proudhon was the first great advocate of anarchist abstentionism, precisely because of his experiences in the nominally revolutionary government after the 1848 revolution. Déjacque himself proposed a transitional government and never seems to have been as radical in that sense as Proudhon.

When asked if these changes could be seen as, say, "potentially divisive," an administration spokesperson denied any knowledge of the US actually having a Coast Guard.

... — and the United States Life-Saving Service — which will be summarily shut down, since America doesn't do that woke lifesaving stuff anymore. The Cutter Service will randomly raid coastal settlements and generally interfere with ocean trade and navigation — as the founders intended.

What you think about the argument probably depends mostly on how you understand "synthesis." I probably lean toward a "pourquoi pas les deux?" position, recognizing multiple origins for anarchism. Socialism and liberalism were both themselves complex, developing and internally contested.

This was an influential work in the 19th century and excerpts appeared in English in “The Present” and “The Spirit of the Age” alongside the anarchistic works of the era. The previous volume, "Equality," and more from Leroux can be found here: www.libertarian-labyrinth.org/pierre-lerou...

It includes the material that was supposed to be collected as "Political Geography and Nationality" (theory of nationalities, etc.), "Theory of Property" (which was originally the final chapter of that work) and a history of Poland that serves as an illustration for the theoretical work.

I'm coordinating work on Proudhon's Poland manuscripts — "Political Geography and Nationality," "Theory of Property," etc. — with the French scholar transcribing them as part of his university work. That will happen on his schedule, but it's all remarkable stuff.

I'm behind on this year's projects, but the plan is to follow the work on "Justice" with the rest of the 1848-1850 journalism, with lots of additional material from the debates on the state, and a big collection of writings from the free credit projects, including a lot of little-known material.

The goal is to get through everything, but who knows... Here's a screenshot of the "to do" list, with translated titles and notes about existing translations and partial New Proudhon Library translations.
