(en) France, Monde Libertaire - Editorial from ML No. 1879: Le Monde libertaire is not L'Humanité (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Date Thu, 5 Feb 2026 07:15:39 +0200


Le Monde libertaire in retrospect. The editorial board of your favorite newspaper offers you a brief look back, fifty-four years ago, at the editorial line and choices made by its predecessors. A position we find compelling and are committed to defending for the duration of our term. ---- Le Monde libertaire is not the mouthpiece of a party, but the crucible where divergent opinions, all claiming to be anarchist, clash. It is not a place to seek an official dogma. ---- In this issue, for example, you will find articles that are individualistic, anarchist, and anti-individualist, as well as articles that oppose unionism and articles that assert that unionism is a necessity. It is up to the reader, considered not as an underdeveloped individual but as a responsible person, to choose between these opposing perspectives, or even to draw from each to create their own synthesis.

If certain bylines appear frequently in these pages, this stems solely from the journalistic vitality of their authors. Neither Le Monde libertaire nor the Fédération anarchiste endorses any particular personalities or privileges any specific theories. Le Monde libertaire is not the newspaper of one person; it must become the newspaper of all.

Some will say there is a lack of coherence at the level of the Fédération anarchiste, and therefore of its newspaper. Coherence consists of the absence of authority over others and thus respect for differing libertarian ideas. At the level of the autonomous groups and individuals that make up the Fédération anarchiste, coherence must go much further and lead to radical practices in accordance with the initial principles. At this level, nothing prevents strict organizations or precise agreements.

Anarchism is not a fixed and rigid system, but a continuous ferment. Like the scientific method, it can only evolve through constant questioning.

Le Monde libertaire no. 170, April 1971
