"Our individualism is not an individualism of the graveyard, an individualism of sadness and of shadow, an individualism of pain and suffering. Our individualism is a creator of happiness, in us and outside of us. We want to find happiness wherever it is possible, thanks to our potential as seekers, discoverers, realizers.
[....]
There is the individualism of those who want to create their own happiness dominating, administrating, exploiting their peers, making use of their social influence, whether it be governmental, monetary, or monopolist. It is the individualism of the bourgeoisie. And it has nothing in common with ours.
It is the individualism of those who think themselves to be superior, who want to crush the rest under the weight of their morality, of their intellectual culture; the individualism of the “hardcore” (read, those who are hard with others), of the insensitive; of the conceited who won’t bend over to pick up a gold coin, of those who don’t cry and who exist in that seventh heaven beyond human reality. I fear that this is only the individualism of the fatuous and presumptuous, of the angels that one day sooner or later end up thrashing about in the ocean of uniform mediocrity, the individualism of human turkeys who in the end are content with a little shell to live in to calm their ambition. This individualism does not interest us either.
We want an individualism that radiates happiness and benevolence, like a hearth radiates warmth. We want an individualism that shines even in the wintriest of hearts. An individualism of bacchantes, deliriously free, which extends itself, expands, and overflows, without owners, borders, or limits. Whoever doesn’t want to suffer nor carry heavy loads, but doesn’t want to make anyone else suffer or carry the weight for them. An individualism that doesn’t feel humiliated when called to apologize or to make up for damage caused by carelessness. Oh, what a rich, magnificent individualism!" - Emile Armand, Anarchist Individualism and Amorous Comradeship

No poder aprender, ni amar, ni estar en soledad, ni derrochar el tiempo a gusto propio. Tener que estar encerrado cuando el sol brilla y las flores emborrachan el aire con sus efluvios. No poder ir hacia el trópico cuando la nieve golpea las ventanas, o hacia el norte cuando el calor se hace tórrido y la hierba se reseca en los campos, Encontrar delante de si, siempre y donde sea, leyes, fronteras, morales, convenciones, reglas, jueces, oficinas, cárceles, hombres en uniforme que mantienen y protegen un orden de cosas mortificante. ¿Y es eso lo que ustedes llaman “vivir”? ¿Ustedes, enamorados de la “vida intensa”, aduladores del “progreso”, todos ustedes, los que empujan las ruedas del carro de la “civilización”?, Yo llamo a eso vegetar, Lo llamo morir.

When “voluntary association” is spoken of, voluntary adhesion to a plan, a project, a given action, this implies the possibility of refusing the association, adhesion or action.

Embers | Chapter Two: Red
Tumblr media
Stars Series | Embers
“Oh, come off it, Arthur!”
The lanky red-head was jostled around in his group of friends, and he chuckled heartily as he nearly lost his footing. “No, really, I’m telling you the truth!”
“Royston Idlewind did not throw you the Quaffle after winning the World Cup!” Armand Irvin cried in disbelief.
“I can write to my brothers if you’d like. They were there, they’d tell you!” said Arthur, laughter still in his voice.
“I’d be quicker to believe them if they told us that you’d gotten with a Veela while in France,” joked Emile Brown, throwing the group into another loud fit of laughter at Arthur’s expense, and while he smiled with them he was going slightly red. They’d walked out into a crowded courtyard by now, and were attracting quite a bit of attention. 
While still red, Arthur grinned slyly and leaned in to his friends. “What happens in France, stays in France,” he said quietly, and they were set off again, but this time, Arthur joined in. 
His confidence back, Arthur stood up a little straighter and stopped walking almost immediately, caught in a hazel-eyed gaze. His friends kept walking. “You coming, Arthur?” called Jarrod Abbott.
Arthur didn’t look back at this, his eyes fixed on Molly Prewett as she reddened slightly and looked away from him. “I’ll catch up with you!” he responded to his friends, who, following his line of sight, gave off very childish ‘ohh’s and continued on their way. Arthur shook his head at them, and made his way over to Molly.
“Hi there,” he said as he reached her. She was sitting with the other girl that had been in Muggle Studies with them, the Hufflepuff. “It was Molly, right? Molly and. . .” he looked over at the kind blonde, who looked ready to help him with her name if he needed it. “Alice?”
“That’s right,” the Hufflepuff smiled, nodding. “Arthur, right? Arthur Weasley?”
Arthur grinned at her. “That’s me,” he said brightly, turning his attention back to Molly a bit more. “How are you girls liking Muggle Studies so far? This is your first year in it, right?”
Both of the girls nodded, but Alice was the one to respond. “It’s a bit better than expected,” Alice mused. “Professor Brady seems really passionate about the subject.”
“Oh yeah, Professor Brady’s great, isn’t she? One of the best professors here, if I may say.”
“Are you sure that’s not just because you’re her favorite?” quipped Molly, and under her gaze, Arthur began to redden again.
He chuckled bashfully. “Oh, that’s just because she’s had me before. She loves all her students - you’ll see.” Molly raised her eyebrows and gave Alice a look, the both of them clearly not fully believing him. “But, hey,” said Arthur, quickly changing the subject. “I just wanted to extend out the offer - if either of you need help with the subject material, I’d be happy to tutor you.” His eyes lingered on Molly, and she looked down, the corners of her lips curving upwards just slightly. “It was really kind of you both to transfer to Muggle Studies to keep the subject going. So, if you need any help with your OWLs, don’t hesitate to ask.”
Molly finally looked him in the eye, her grin more obvious. “That’s really nice of you.”
“We might have to take you up on that,” started Alice. “There’s definitely a lot of material we’ve - ” but Alice was caught off as a Ravenclaw girl called her name excitedly, and her eyes brightened as she looked at a friend across the way - “oh, that’s Maisie. I’ll catch up with you later,” she said to Molly, and to Arthur, “Nice meeting you!”
The Gryffindors smiled at Alice as she left, but were caught in a kind of awkward silence as they turned back to each other. Molly fiddled with the old cover of a book in her lap. Arthur, who really wanted to continue talking to her, cleared his throat and said, “So, uh - did you have a nice summer?”
Molly looked up at him with a bit of a smirk. “It was alright. Doesn’t sound nearly as exciting as yours, though. Veelas in France?”
Arthur’s face went red again and he chuckled nervously. “Heard that, did you?”
“The entire courtyard did,” she said playfully.
“My friends were just joking around - ” he said quickly, stumbling over his words a bit - “I didn’t actually - I didn’t - I don’t even really like blondes, I - ”
“So what do you like, then?” Molly cut in cooly.
His mouth slightly open, Arthur froze. His stomach was flipping, his heart was beating rapidly, and he was wondering how in all hell he hadn’t noticed Molly Prewett before. She was absolutely stunning. 
He took a second to regain his composure, then, with a sly smile, he leaned in towards her. “Red-heads.” As he leaned back, he grinned as he watched her go nearly as red as her hair. He parted his lips to speak again, but the two of them were interrupted.
“There you are, Molly!” The pale, raven-haired Gryffindor nearly ran into Arthur as she rushed over to Molly, but somehow, she didn’t even seem to notice him. In her apparent frantic state, she was too focused on Molly, who was looking at her worriedly. “I’ve been looking all over for you! What’s this I hear about you and Julie fighting?”
As Molly scrunched her eyebrows, Arthur suddenly felt like he was the one that was intruding. “This is the first I’ve heard of it.”
“Then why is it that you’re down here while she’s up in the dormitory crying her eyes out?”
Her face fell, and immediately she started gathering her things. Before she went to leave, however, she seemed to remember Arthur was still standing there. Her friend finally acknowledged him as well. “I’m sorry, I’ve got to - ”
Arthur gave her an understanding smile. “No worries, I understand.” Molly gave him a thankful smile and turned to leave with her friend, but with a leap of courage, Arthur spoke again. “Prewett!” he called, and as she turned back to him, his heart skipped a beat. “Let me know about the tutoring, alright?”
She shot him that beautiful smile of hers, nodded, then turned away, hurrying out of the courtyard. Arthur took a breath, smiled to himself, and turned to rejoin his friends.

"[Serge is] a memoir-writer with a short memory who forgets the rôle he played in regard to ‘l’anarchie’ [an individualist weekly] with which he collaborated from September, 1909 to January, 1912. If he tells us in detail of the private life of Libertad.... he guards himself from saying that he (Serge) was the man who searched for ‘rare sensations’, the man of the unbounded ‘I deny’, the glorifier of the ‘Bandits’ on the morrow of the rue Ordener affair (‘l’anarchie’, January 3, 1912), the exalter of ‘the unsubmissive, deserters, thieves, because they are not adapted to slavery.... for us (he wrote) they are the only men who dare to revindicate life.’ Kibalchich [Serge's real name] has forgotten the endless Stirnerian, Nietzschean and Ibsenian litanies that he gladly reeled off. As he forgets rather indelicately that Rirette Maîtrejean was his companion and that he did not stop writing to her for a long time." - E Armand, reviewing the first French edition of Victor Serge's Memoirs of a Revolutionary

Author: Emile ArmandTitle: In the World, but Not of the WorldDate: 1901Source: Retrieved on January 8, 2025 from https://www.libertarian-labyrinth.org/working-translations/e-armand-in-the-world-but-not-of-the-world-1901/ …I have given them the word and the world has hated it, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world. I do not ask you to take them from the world, but to preserve them from evil. They are not of the world, as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by your truth: your word is the truth. As you have sent me into the world, I have also sent them into the world… (John 17: 14-19). Note that it is to the disciples, thus to all the disciples, that these words are addressed. In the world, certainly, — in order to act there, because they have been sent, — but not of the world. Nothing in common with this world of selfishness and oppression. Not of the world, but in the world, in order to be your imitators there, Christ, for if we were of the world, attaching any affection whatsoever to the passions that animate it, we would be as far from being your disciples as if we were not in the world, in order to lead it to you and to establish your Kingdom there.

The assassination attempt of May 31, 1905, against Alphonse XIII and Emile Loubet, and the "Trial of the Four" (Charles Malato, Pedro Vallina, Bernard Harvey, Etienne Caussanel)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
On the night of May 31, 1905, at the corner of Rivoli and Rohan streets (Paris), Alexandre Farras alias Avino (who was never arrested) threw two bombs at President Emile Loubet and King Alfonso XIII. The king and the president were unharmed.
It turns out that the police were already aware of the preparation of a plot against Alfonso XIII and Emile Loubet. On May 25, Pedro Vallina and Bernard Harvey were arrested. According to the police, Charles Malato, Pedro Vallina, Bernard Harvey, Francisco Ferrer, Siegfried Nacht, José Prat, Cardenal, belonged to an international group founded in May 1904 during a meeting held in the Faubourg Saint-Antoine (at the home of José Prat), and at the origin of the anarchist newspaper L’Espagne inquisitoriale.
Charles Malato (1857-1938) :
Tumblr media
Please excuse me, but in this post I do not intend to retrace Malato's entire journey (too much to say, I won't hide it from you). I will only talk to you about his situation from May to November 1905... According to a police report, in May 1905, Charles Malato received packages containing bombs, which in appearance resembled the bombs that were to be used in the attack. Malato claimed that he had never ordered bombs from his correspondents, but that it was in fact a set-up by the Spanish police to compromise him.
After his arrest, while he was in pre-trial detention awaiting his trial (which was to take place in November), Malato published his book The Great Strike.
The "trial of the four" was held from November 27 to 30, 1905. Many personalities testified in favor of Malato: Sébastien Faure, Armand Matha (editor of Le Libertaire), Fortuné Henry (brother of Emile Henry), Lucien Descaves; Francis de Pressensé (president of the League of Human Rights), Jean Jaurès, and even Aristide Briand; Alejandro Lerroux, Estebanes (former Spanish minister), Tarrida del Marmol (Spanish anarchist journalist). Charles Malato declared in court: "I do not defend myself, I attack, I accuse, and I prove!"
I found an article from L'Humanité (November 29, 1905) concerning the case of the "Malato affair":
"PROCUREUR SCAPIN,
What is happening in this Malato affair, so troubled, so obscure by the role that the French police played in it, should outrage all French consciences that have any concern for justice. First, Mr. Bulot's attitude is scandalous. Some of his apostrophes to the accused are abominable. His ironies have something odious about them. We know some ferocious attorneys general. They are less revolting than jokey prosecutors.
The day before yesterday, police officers were caught red-handed lying. The attorney general reproached the accused for triumphing too easily over an "error". What is the error of a prosecution witness in a capital trial like this one, and what does this grievance against the accused mean, who triumph too brilliantly over the lies in which they corner the prevention ?
Yesterday this was even worse, and Mr. Bulot went beyond the limits of the improbable. It had just been established by the employee of the shipping house of the Rosendo Soler firm, in Barcelona, ​​sender of the two packages received by Caussanel, that, according to the firm's book, the first had been sent as a machine, the second as machine parts. On the shipping letters, the packages were marked Scrap metal.
-Why these changes of indication ? asked Malato.
-Go and ask the shipping house in Barcelona, ​​replied Mr. Bulot. In truth, where did Mr. Bulot get these ways of taunting the accused? Since when have people been making fun of defendants under a capital charge in this way? These are procedures from another time and another country. Will the Minister of Justice allow these judicial indecencies to continue and aggravate the situation in which the prosecution has found itself by resorting to false testimony from agents, with pranks of the kind I have just reported ? A case like that of Malato and his co-accused does not involve the low ironies that Mr. Bulot-Scapin allows himself. The Assize Court is a severe place where behavior is required. It is up to the Minister of Justice to remind his attorney general that a criminal trial is not a farce and to forbid him from making up for the lack of evidence with cruel jokes aimed at the accused." (Gustave Rouanet, L’Humanité, November 29, 1905).
The case proved undeniably obscure, because it was clearly burdened with police manipulation. Malato, Valina, Harvey, Caussanel, ended up being acquitted at the end of the trial.
Pedro Vallina (Guadalcanal 1879 - Mexico 1970) :
Tumblr media
In 1898, this young medical student (who had been active in the Republican Circle of Guadalcanal) went to Cadiz, where he met Fermin Salvochea ("father" of anarchism in Andalusia). In Madrid, Pedro Vallina was active in anarchist circles, in the face of the policies of Francisco Silvela, Palmero, and Praxedes Mateo Sagasta y Escolar. In October 1901, still in Madrid, Pedro Vallina participated in the congress of the Federation of Workers' Societies of the Spanish Regions. He was allegedly involved in the "Trama de la Coronacion" affair, a planned assassination attempt that was to take place on the day of the coronation of Alfonso XIII (1902). The courts sentenced him to eight years of forced labor. Fortunately, in 1902, to escape the worst, he fled Spain and went into exile in France. In Paris, he met Louise Michel, Charles Malato, and Siegfried Nacht.
In 1904, he led a vast campaign in support of strikes and against repression in Spain (the events of Alcala del Valle). Thanks to him, a large demonstration took place in Paris. In June 1904, he participated in the Amsterdam Congress, the founding congress of the International Antimilitarist Association.
In 1915, he was one of the signatories of the manifesto "The Anarchist International and War", calling on workers to stop killing each other and to turn their weapons against the capitalists. He then returned to Spain, and in 1917 published the magazine Paginas Libres, calling for a general strike. In 1918, he participated in the National Anarchist Congress in Barcelona. As a doctor, he founded the Castillana workers' sanatorium, run by the Confederacion Nacional del Trabajo. During the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera, he was imprisoned, then he took refuge in Tangier and then in Casablanca.
In 1936, he practiced his profession as a doctor in Castile and took part in the revolution. After participating, in July 1936, in the organization of a column of 500 miners that liberated the village of Santa Eufemia, he was named president of the Revolutionary Committee of Almaden, and participated in the collectivization of the mines. On August 15, he was put in charge of health services in Madrid, and he became the head of the CNT Hospital of the Del Rosal column in Canete. A refugee in France, he was imprisoned in the Argelès camp with his wife. In the 1940s, he went to live in Mexico. He founded a hospital (named "Ricardo Flores Magon"), and he devoted himself to the health of the Indians of Oaxaca.
Bernard Harvey :
Tumblr media
Initially a theology student, Harvey reoriented himself towards philosophical studies. In 1901, he settled in the Latin Quarter. He made a living by giving English lessons. He met Pedro Vallina and Charles Malato. During the "Trial of the Four", Bernard Harvey declared that he was not an anarchist, and that he studied explosives and pyrotechnics only from a scientific point of view.
Etienne Caussanel :
I won't hide my frustration at the lack of sources that prevents me from writing a biography of Caussanel. All I can tell you is that before the failed attack, he had received a package containing explosives from Barcelona (to put it simply: the same accusation as Malato). On the other hand, I found three articles from L'Humanité about him...
"And in the afternoon, around two o'clock, he took the statements of Caussanel and his wife who was busy doing housework at Malato's. Caussanel stated that he had received correspondence intended for Malato and coming from Spain. But, he added, I could not have been otherwise surprised because I knew that Malato was in contact with the Spanish.
- But parcels coming from Barcelona ?
- I first received a first parcel that I took to Malato's and that does not surprise me since I received letters coming from Spain. When I had given this parcel to Malato, he told me that he wanted to have this package transported to Vallina's, rue Toullier. I accepted and since Vallina was absent, I left the parcel in the hands of the concierge. -But, asked the judge, are you sure that this package that you were instructed to deliver to Vallina was indeed the one that you had received and taken to Malato ?
-I don't know, but in any case, the package that I left on rue Toullier was identical in size to the one I had received. On May 13, I received a second package, larger than the previous one; I went to deliver it to Malato, who did not give me any instructions at the time.
At the end of his questioning, Caussanel told the judge that he had never received a journalist or confided anything. Mr. Leydet then heard Caussanel's wife. He asked her for information about the people who visited Malato.
-I don't know any of these people at all, she replied, and I had no reason to inquire about them. As for Malato, I can only have feelings of deep gratitude for him because he was very good to us, especially during the illness of our son, who was being treated at the Villejuif hospice. Malato was always very generous and very kind to all of us The interrogation of Mrs. Caussanel ended with these statements in praise of the writer. " (L’Humanité, June 5, 1905).
"Then Mr. Leydet wanted to make Malato say that Caussanel had anarchist tendencies. Malato replied that Caussanel, the son of a victim of December 2, was an enthusiastic republican but that it was ridiculous to suppose that he had ever conceived the slightest anarchist idea. " (L’Humanité, July 14, 1905).
