Violence and Anarchism, A Polemic
£2.00
The 1960 article that kicked up a stink – dive in, and see where you come out. Still holding flowers or ready to fight back?
Description
After 56 people were killed by police on the orders of the head of the white government, Dr Verwoerd after a Pan-African Congress demonstration in South Africa, David Pratt attempted to assassinate Dr Verwoerd. The editor of Freedom Newspaper summarrised the thoughts of many: “Too bad he missed.”
This article reignited the debate amongst anarchists, pacficists and anarcho-pacifists. That debate is still alive and kicking.
In addition, an appendix is included of Martyn Everett’s Short History of Political Violence in Britain just as a reminder of how the State, even in a so-called democracy, reacts when opposed non-violently and a second appendix of Malatesta’s writings on Attentats and on Anarchism and Violence written in the early 1920s.
