Praise
“The first thing that strikes the reader about Malatesta is his lucidity
and straightforwardness. For him anarchism was not a philosophy for a
future utopia which would come about one day as if by magic, or simply
through the destruction of the state without any prior preparation. On
the contrary, Malatesta was, throughout his life, concerned with a
practical idea. His anarchism was something concrete, to be fought for
and put into practice, not in some distant future but now. It is in this
aspect of practical anarchism that gives him a special place amongst
anarchist theorists and propagandists.”
