69-456: In 1895, Le Libertaire was relaunched as a weekly publication in France by Sébastien Faure and in the socially and politically turbulent years that accompanied rapid economic change during the run up to 1914 it became a leading title in a growing field of anarchist newspapers and journals. Publication persisted from 1918 until 1939 and then from 1944 until 1956. Le Libertaire returned in 1968 and

138-474: A metaphysical philosophy that upheld the notion of free will . Over time, Déjacque's libertarianism was developed into a political philosophy that upholds liberty . It was first adopted in the 1880s by American individualist anarchists such as Benjamin Tucker ; and then in the 1890s by French anarchists such as Sébastien Faure , in order to distinguish anarchism from authoritarian socialism . During

207-597: A united front between the white working class and black slaves , which he believed could together overthrow the United States in a social revolution and bring about a post-racial America .

He nevertheless continued to publish his radical writings, including a polemic against the Bonapartist Pierre-Jean de Béranger and an open letter on gender equality addressed to Pierre-Joseph Proudhon ,

276-411: A "series of anarchic dreams of marvelous textures and wondrous designs", going beyond rationality and constructing an entirely alternate reality. It has been cited as a literary form of Neo-Impressionism , with art historian Robyn Roslack highlighting the following passage: "Just as orbs [atoms and molecules] circulate anarchically in universality, so men must circulate anarchically in humanity, under

345-635: A 2,000 franc fine. In order to escape the fate determined for him by the court, he had initially taken refuge in Brussels and then in London before moving on to Jersey and finally the United States. Déjacque's republican-socialist beliefs had been shattered by the June Massacres in 1848. He reacted by turning to an uncompromising radicalism that rejected all forms of authority, exploitation and economic privilege. He published La question révolutionnaire in 1854,

414-417: A book in which he attacked religion, the family, property rights and government, to set out to demonstrate their "devastating impacts" ( effets dévastateurs ). Le Libertaire was the journal of a corresponding social movement, giving him the chance to explain the meaning of "true anarchism" ( la vraie anarchie ) and "radical anarchism", set on a foundation of "absolute liberty". In the first edition, he detailed

483-503: A breakup of its own during the early 1950s. In May 1953, after the takeover by the OPB faction and the exclusion or departure of those opposed to it, the residual Anarchist Federation renamed itself as the Federation of Libertarian Communism (FCL) and it was this group within an increasingly fragmented movement that now owned the title Le Libertaire . Starting with issue 378, dated 3 December 1953,

552-434: A keen supporter of women's rights and beginning his career as a revolutionary journalist . Despite the regime change brought by the revolution, unemployment and poverty was still rife, forcing the newly-established provisional government to make concessions to Louis Blanc 's socialist faction. The provisional government established National Workshops to employ Parisian workers, with Déjacque himself enrolling in

621-414: A new generation. Déjacque's "iconoclastic" anarchist communism, with both its utopian and insurrectionary dimensions, was soon taken up by Peter Kropotkin and Luigi Galleani . By the turn of the 20th century, anarchist historians Max Nettlau and Gustav Landauer were beginning to characterise Déjacque as a "vital forerunner" of anarchist communism. Before Déjacque, " libertarianism " had referred to

828-547: A political sense, defining it synonymously with "anarchist". He also attempted to publish a work of utopian fiction , but was not able to secure enough subscriptions to cover the cost of printing. By February 1858, the failure of Déjacque's publishing efforts left him disillusioned with New Orleans and he returned to New York. Upon his return, Déjacque found himself living in poverty; in order to fund his publishing efforts, he returned to work painting houses and solicited donations from sympathisers. In June 1858, he established

Within the French trades union movement, there was a corresponding split with the creation in 1922 of the Confédération générale du travail unitaire (CGTU), a grouping of pro-libertarian, pro-communist factions formerly within the mainstream General Confederation of Labour (CGT).

In France as in Germany, the aftermath of war was accompanied by a splintering of the political left and the emergence of

1173-614: A worker's right to be the satisfaction of their needs, rather than the product of their own labour, as he felt the latter would inevitably lead to capital accumulation . He thus advocated for "unlimited freedom of production and consumption", subordinated only to the authority of the "statistics book". In order to guarantee the universal satisfaction of needs, Déjacque saw the need for the abolition of forced labour through workers' self-management , which he figured would replace " arduous work " with "attractive work". Déjacque's imaginative writing in L'humanisphère has been described as

1242-448: A world in which every individual was able to achieve their potential , as they lived in conditions of post-scarcity , without any form of poverty. In this future society, " commerce , [the] scourge of the 19th century," had been eliminated; nothing was being bought or sold.

His works have recently developed an "underground reputation", due in part to

Déjacque's advocacy of violence also anticipated later insurrectionary anarchists ' conception of " propaganda of the deed ", as well as the nihilism of Sergey Nechayev . Embarrassed by this violent temperament, when Jean Grave re-published L'humanisphère in 1899, he cut out parts that could have been read as incitement . Nevertheless, this reprint exposed Déjacque's conception of communism to
