Libertarian Ideals vs. Marxist Influences

This chapter explores the evolution of libertarian ideas in contrast to Marxist thought and the complexities of the International Workingmen's Association from its founding in 1864. It highlights the ideological divisions between anarchists and state socialists, particularly within the Spanish context, and discusses key figures and movements that influenced these dynamics. The chapter also traces the historical significance of the internationals and their impact on revolutionary movements leading into the 20th century.
