4.5

What's most striking about this collection is just how little the events and sentiments of the various authors differ over the course of 140-some years. There is still much work to be done.

These statements are an encouraging and emboldening experience for anyone who would deny the oppressor in their own life. Full of excellent quotes and clear demonstrations of core anarchist ideas, a reminder of what we're really fighting for. 

"When they attack in the name of Law, we will retaliate in the name of Liberty."
