Anarchism and Socialism

This work opens by tackling the common belief that anarchism is the inevitable next stage after capitalism and socialism. It sets out to dismantle that myth, showing how anarchist ideas often echo the individualism of early bourgeois society rather than offering a concrete path for workers. By tracing the intellectual lineage from Proudhon to Stirner, the author highlights the philosophical gaps that separate anarchist utopias from practical class struggle.

The second part turns to the historical actors who shaped anarchist thought, scrutinising figures such as Bakunin and Kropotkin and contrasting their visions with the scientific approach of Marxist theory. Through clear, historically grounded arguments, the book demonstrates why the author sees anarchism as a reactionary current that hinders, rather than advances, the working‑class movement. Listeners will come away with a nuanced understanding of the debate that still informs contemporary discussions of liberty, equality, and the role of the State.
