    Who are they?
  • 0:26 - 0:28
    Where do they come from?
  • 0:28 - 0:29
    What were self-proclaimed anarchists ...
  • 0:29 - 0:32
    used and what do they do?
  • 0:33 - 0:35
    Why are their faces even though they are registered,
  • 0:35 - 0:38
    for a mystery?
  • 0:38 - 0:40
    Why their ideas seem so confused,
  • 0:40 - 0:42
    and their history so disturbing?
  • 0:45 - 0:46
    As a child of capitalism ...
  • 0:46 - 0:49
    and subversive brother of state communism,
  • 0:49 - 0:51
    anarchisme is a method to rebel which ...
  • 0:51 - 0:53
    in the world continues to stalk.
  • 0:53 - 0:56
    While some libertarians are criminal,
  • 0:56 - 0:58
    carry firearms and dynamite parting,
  • 0:58 - 1:01
    it is important to know that many of them ...
  • 1:01 - 1:05
    offer alternatives and provoke global revolutions.
  • 1:09 - 1:11
    The establishment has it always punished hard.
  • 1:11 - 1:15
    Wherever they are dragged to the guillotine ...
  • 1:15 - 1:18
    or strapped to the electric chair.
  • 1:18 - 1:22
    The punishment does not help to write off anarchic actions as hooliganism ...
  • 1:22 - 1:27
    so as to erase the memory of victories in the social conscience.
  • 1:27 - 1:30
    While their practices are part of everyday life,
  • 1:30 - 1:35
    as their ideas are spread and networks expand, and she ...
  • 1:35 - 1:40
    Paris to New York, from Tokyo to Buenos Aires entice youth
  • 1:40 - 1:43
    anarchists keep feeding the imagination and thus misunderstandings.
  • 1:44 - 1:48
    From what source does the sulfur air that rises every dreary march?
  • 1:48 - 1:51
    Which wild expectations creates the black flag?
  • 1:52 - 1:55
    How can anarchism, dreaming of a different future for the ...
  • 1:55 - 1:59
    old world, which has been fighting for 150 years against bosses and gods
  • 1:59 - 2:02
    continue to ask questions that are still relevant today?
  • 2:02 - 2:05
    Why its history is a pendulum which drag from left to right,
  • 2:05 - 2:08
    of uprising to murder attempt,
  • 2:08 - 2:10
    more than ever a reflection of ourselves?
  • 2:17 - 2:20
    It all began in France in the nineteenth century.
  • 2:21 - 2:24
    The land is like the rest of the world in the grip of a new economic system,
  • 2:24 - 2:28
    capitalism, which hesitantly takes his first steps into the world.
  • 2:29 - 2:31
    Capitalist morality spreads ...
  • 2:31 - 2:35
    in a landscape that is pockmarked from heavy industry.
  • 2:36 - 2:39
    The mirages of the first industrial wave ...
  • 2:39 - 2:43
    disappear and a grim, more brutal reality emerges.
  • 2:45 - 2:48
    Attempts to find answers to questions about an era full of ...
  • 2:48 - 2:52
    contradictions is, come together in the form of anarchism.
  • 2:55 - 2:58
    What is the major problem in the nineteenth century?
  • 2:59 - 3:02
    Simply put, there is the social question.
  • 3:03 - 3:06
    The company develops. Railway steam locomotives ...
  • 3:06 - 3:09
    ships and looms invented.
  • 3:10 - 3:12
    In a sense, the society has improved considerably,
  • 3:12 - 3:17
    in hygiene, medicine and what is involved.
  • 3:17 - 3:20
    But the horrible misery of them in the manufacturing industry,
  • 3:20 - 3:24
    known as factories had not been so visible.
  • 3:25 - 3:30
    All great thinkers, Saint-Simon Faure, Proudhon, Marx, Cabe, Owen and others ...
  • 3:31 - 3:33
    want to resolve this conundrum.
  • 3:37 - 3:41
    To understand the emergence of anarchism in this period ...
  • 3:41 - 3:44
    one must understand the miserable life of the proletariat.
  • 3:44 - 3:47
    It only his strength.
  • 3:48 - 3:50
    The working day lasts twelve hours or more ...
  • 3:50 - 3:53
    and the pay is not enough to drive away hunger.
  • 3:54 - 3:57
    They know no rest, no insurance and no pension.
  • 3:58 - 4:01
    Their children are employed as soon as they can stand.
  • 4:01 - 4:04
    Half dies for their sixth year.
  • 4:04 - 4:08
    Shortages, epidemics and alcohol cause disaster.
  • 4:08 - 4:12
    Illiteracy is the norm and accidents are rife.
  • 4:13 - 4:17
    In 1840, the life expectancy of a worker barely 30 years.
  • 4:18 - 4:22
    And yet, as the middle class enjoys a comfortable life ...
  • 4:22 - 4:24
    which is produced by the progress and forge an ideology ...
  • 4:24 - 4:27
    with liberalism, the proletariat sees a solution ...
  • 4:27 - 4:31
    the problems of that time, and the socialism begins to emerge.
  • 4:31 - 4:34
    But before they can represent a real solution to the injustice ...
  • 4:34 - 4:39
    Socialism must first overcome another, almost philosophical contradiction.
  • 4:41 - 4:45
    From classical liberalism prevails in political philosophy the issue ...
  • 4:45 - 4:49
    about reconciling liberty and equality.
  • 4:49 - 4:54
    How do you reconcile the greatest liberties with the greatest equality?
  • 4:54 - 5:00
    When inequality freedom remains incomplete.
  • 5:00 - 5:04
    The ideals of liberty and equality had reconciled.
  • 5:04 - 5:06
    An American anarchist said: "Freedom without equality ...
  • 5:06 - 5:10
    the jungle. Equality without freedom is a jail.
  • 5:10 - 5:12
    We willen noch de jungle,
    noch de gevangenis."
  • 5:13 - 5:16
    This puzzle, reconciling maximum freedom ...
  • 5:16 - 5:19
    and maximum equality, this dual ambition ...
  • 5:19 - 5:22
    equality and freedom is one of the fundamental values ...
  • 5:22 - 5:24
    van het anarchism.
  • 5:26 - 5:30
    Until the mid-nineteenth century, the word anarchy ,
  • 5:30 - 5:33
    the Greek AnArchi , the absence of power,
  • 5:33 - 5:37
    a negative term for disorders and chaos.
  • 5:38 - 5:41
    While significant figures such as the Sade, LaBoeuf and Godwin ...
  • 5:41 - 5:45
    Anarchists called, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon which ...
  • 5:45 - 5:47
    one of the few comes from a working class background,
  • 5:48 - 5:51
    and the notion of commitment as a revolutionary attitude,
  • 5:51 - 5:54
    and so the concept of a positive value.
  • 5:57 - 6:00
    1840 I'm an anarchist
  • 6:05 - 6:10
    In 1840 Proudhon wrote the memoir that makes him famous What is property? .
  • 6:12 - 6:17
    While his answer Property is theft!
    immediately caused a big scandal,
  • 6:17 - 6:21
    some phrases may continue in the faith statement ...
  • 6:21 - 6:24
    the true birth are found in anarchist thought.
  • 6:25 - 6:27
    A paradox that says everything.
  • 6:29 - 6:31
    - Are you a Republican?
    - No.
  • 6:32 - 6:35
    - Do you want a monarchy?
    - God forbid.
  • 6:35 - 6:39
    - Are you an aristocrat?
    - Not really.
  • 6:39 - 6:42
    - Do you want a mixed government?
    - That even less.
  • 6:42 - 6:45
    - What are you?
    - I am an anarchist.
  • 6:45 - 6:46
    Although I large
    am in favor of order
  • 6:47 - 6:48
    in the full sense
    of the word,
  • 6:48 - 6:51
    I am an anarchist.
  • 6:51 - 6:57
    While he declared himself an anarchist, he said, property is theft.
  • 6:57 - 7:00
    He meant that ownership is the basis of a certain social order.
  • 7:01 - 7:05
    Call yourself an anarchist means attacking the foundations ...
  • 7:05 - 7:09
    this social order, which is identified as the property.
  • 7:09 - 7:13
    According to Proudhon and Faure there are close ties between ...
  • 7:13 - 7:18
    political domination by the state, the economic domination of ...
  • 7:18 - 7:25
    het kapitaal, en de religieuze overheersing
    door het idee van god.
  • 7:27 - 7:30
    Proudhon is dus de echte
    vader van anarchie,
  • 7:30 - 7:34
    omdat hij als enige deze drie
    vormen van overheersing verbindt.
  • 7:36 - 7:39
    Hij gelooft dat ze tegelijkertijd
    moeten worden vernietigd...
  • 7:39 - 7:42
    om de sociale structuur
    te kunnen veranderen.
  • 7:45 - 7:48
    Proudhon wil de macht
    vernietigen om de...
  • 7:48 - 7:52
    sociale structuur te veranderen,
    maar wijst revolutionair geweld af.
  • 7:52 - 7:57
    Zijn visie is een wederzijds systeem
    ondersteund door zijn volksbank.
  • 7:58 - 8:01
    Zijn filosofie wordt echter
    van alle kanten aangevallen.
  • 8:02 - 8:04
    Hij wordt bekritiseerd,
    gepersifleerd en verboden.
  • 8:04 - 8:07
    Maar zijn publicaties gaan op reis
    en zijn anarchisme spreekt wereldwijd...
  • 8:07 - 8:10
    socialisten aan.
  • 8:10 - 8:13
    Zoals de jonge doctoraalstudent
    in de filosofie Karl Marx.
  • 8:14 - 8:18
    Hij verklaart zich pionier van de
    nieuwe Europese arbeidersbeweging.
  • 8:18 - 8:22
    And on the edge of Europe, in distant Russia,
  • 8:22 - 8:26
    Count Nicolai Tolstoy borrows the title of Proudhon's essay ...
  • 8:26 - 8:29
    For his new book
    War and Peace .
  • 8:30 - 8:34
    Echter met pas Michael Bakoenin, een militaire voormalige Cadet, die ...
  • 8:34 - 8:36
    has been in every prison in Europe and several ...
  • 8:36 - 8:40
    to death sentenced, anarchism is a revolutionary philosophy ...
  • 8:40 - 8:43
    in the strict sense.
  • 8:47 - 8:51
    Although Proudhon first the concept of anarchism used ...
  • 8:51 - 8:56
    Bakoenin is an important figure for the definition of the manifest.
  • 8:56 - 9:00
    He adds the principle revolution
    to Proudhon's ideas.
  • 9:04 - 9:08
    Unlike Proudhon, he advocated rebellion ...
  • 9:08 - 9:14
    and thinks that the only way to abolish capitalism and the state ...
  • 9:14 - 9:16
    an armed revolution.
  • 9:17 - 9:20
    Bakunin begins to spread anarchist ideas within the new international ...
  • 9:20 - 9:24
    labor organization, known as the First International.
  • 9:24 - 9:28
    This association founded in London in 1864 ...
  • 9:28 - 9:30
    notes that the emancipation of workers ...
  • 9:30 - 9:33
    by the workers themselves should be done.
  • 9:33 - 9:36
    At launch, two thousand workers, street sweepers,
  • 9:36 - 9:40
    workers, carpenters and cabinetmakers ...
  • 9:40 - 9:41
    available from around the world.
  • 9:44 - 9:47
    The Russian anarchists find an ideal ...
  • 9:47 - 9:49
    instrument to turn the anarchist project ...
  • 9:49 - 9:51
    and present it to the world.
  • 9:52 - 9:56
    the means of production are discussed at each conference.
  • 9:56 - 9:58
    They must be collectivized?
  • 9:58 - 10:02
    Everyone is entitled to their own means of production?
  • 10:03 - 10:05
    Should they be shared?
  • 10:06 - 10:09
    Cooperatives and communities need?
  • 10:10 - 10:14
    What to do with inheritances and money?
  • 10:14 - 10:16
    What is the role of women? And so on.
  • 10:16 - 10:20
    A series of problems that has never been addressed before.
  • 10:22 - 10:26
    But after the death of Proudhon goes downhill with the jarring ...
  • 10:26 - 10:28
    between Bakoenin, vader van het en anarchisme Marx,
  • 10:29 - 10:33
    the author of poverty Philosophy rejected.
  • 10:34 - 10:37
    Their argument is as personal as political, and distributes soon ...
  • 10:37 - 10:39
    the Socialist movement.
  • 10:40 - 10:43
    Three major movements come.
  • 10:43 - 10:47
    A minority movement that rejects the virtues of the revolution.
  • 10:47 - 10:51
    A Marxist movement, as qualified by authoritarian anarchists,
  • 10:51 - 10:55
    who believes that a dictatorship of the proletariat will establish an order.
  • 10:55 - 10:58
    En dan Bakoenins anti-autoritaire of anarchistische beweging ...
  • 10:59 - 11:02
    which calls for the uprising and the final destruction ...
  • 11:02 - 11:04
    of the state apparatus.
  • 11:06 - 11:10
    Both anarchists and Marxists communism is a stateless society.
  • 11:11 - 11:14
    But what Marxists believe that they could use the state ...
  • 11:14 - 11:18
    to create a new society, think anarchists ...
  • 11:18 - 11:21
    that Communism begins when the state is dissolved ...
  • 11:21 - 11:23
    in the social revolution.
  • 11:24 - 11:27
    Marx will need a central party ...
  • 11:27 - 11:35
    with a command structure that mobilizes people ...
  • 11:35 - 11:37
    to seize power.
  • 11:38 - 11:42
    With that power, socialism can be created.
  • 11:44 - 11:47
    Given his loyalty to his anarchist ideals ...
  • 11:47 - 11:49
    and given his distrust of power and ...
  • 11:49 - 11:54
    Bakunin authorities find these ideas a big mistake.
  • 11:54 - 11:56
    The gist of his reasoning is that ...
  • 11:56 - 12:00
    a revolutionary leader on the throne in Russia ...
  • 12:00 - 12:02
    will become a despot within a few years.
  • 12:02 - 12:07
    He predicts that a Russian revolution according to Marx's insights ...
  • 12:07 - 12:10
    will produce a terrible red tape.
  • 12:10 - 12:14
    With almost two meters long, his bright blue eyes,
  • 12:14 - 12:17
    speaking five languages, Bakunin convince influential ...
  • 12:17 - 12:21
    Members of the International, as the Swiss James Guillaume,

    Fransman of Reclus to Spanjaard Anselmo Lorenzo ...
  • 12:24 - 12:29
    de Italiaan Malatesta en even
    later de Russische prins Kropotkin.
  • 12:29 - 12:32
    Thanks to them, anarchism is an international movement ...
  • 12:32 - 12:36
    and the most popular revolutionary ideology within socialist movements.
  • 12:37 - 12:43
    If you count the number of worldwide Marxists, you'll ...
  • 12:43 - 12:46
    to no more than a thousand members.
  • 12:46 - 12:51
    The anarchist wing as it is known later ...
  • 12:51 - 12:55
    has much larger formations.
  • 12:55 - 12:58
    Sixty thousand in Spain ...
  • 12:59 - 13:02
    fifteen thousand in Mexico, and so on.

    International form, also France has many disciples.
  • 13:12 - 13:17
    When in 1871 an outbreak of the Commune of Paris, the anarchists are the vanguard.
  • 13:18 - 13:22
    The other revolutionaries they throw themselves wholeheartedly to the insurgency.
  • 13:23 - 13:29
    There is great hope, the dream. The whole city is suddenly autonomous,
  • 13:29 - 13:34
    to abolish bosses and the old world. Everything is reinvented.
  • 13:34 - 13:38
    During 73 days is Paris in revolt. Executes several generals,

  • 14:01 - 14:06
    Women receive education, voting rights and control over their own bodies.
  • 14:06 - 14:08
    The city operates virtually without a government.
  • 14:08 - 14:11
    In reality, the commune is not an anarchistic event.
  • 14:12 - 14:14
    It is a first attempt, the state immediately ...
  • 14:14 - 14:16
    and completely destroy.
  • 14:17 - 14:20
    The idea is about a sudden revolt ...
  • 14:20 - 14:23
    and the acquisition of the metropolitan economy ...
  • 14:23 - 14:27
    and politics by the people themselves.
  • 14:28 - 14:30
    The Paris Commune might not anarchic,
  • 14:30 - 14:32
    but those who call themselves anarchist ...
  • 14:32 - 14:36
    or to call, such as Louise Michel, are on the front line.
  • 14:37 - 14:40
    And if the movement spreads to cities such as Lyon ...
  • 14:40 - 14:42
    Bakoenin itself take part in the uprising.
  • 14:42 - 14:44
    Within days, abolished the state.
  • 14:44 - 14:47
    He believes that the big day has finally come.

  • 15:06 - 15:08
    The expected both revolutionary anti-backlash that follows ...
  • 15:08 - 15:12
    reflects the great fear that the citizens of the Commune.
  • 15:13 - 15:15
    The army fires indiscriminately.
  • 15:15 - 15:17
    The pride of the proletariat is brought down ...
  • 15:17 - 15:20
    while Paris turns into a mass grave.
  • 15:22 - 15:25
    It was a slaughter that day would be unimaginable today.
  • 15:25 - 15:27
    There has long been debate about the numbers.
  • 15:27 - 15:31
    Twenty-five, thirty ... Probably twenty.
  • 15:33 - 15:37
    Twenty thousand executions in one week with rifles when ...

  • 15:50 - 15:53
    The brutality and repression of the Paris Commune ...
  • 15:53 - 15:56
    shocked many on the left in Europe,
  • 15:56 - 15:59
    and Europeans in general.
  • 15:59 - 16:02
    Some anarchists see it as a sign ....
  • 16:02 - 16:05
    that if the ruling class behaves that way ...
  • 16:05 - 16:09
    they can and do respond as discretion.
  • 16:10 - 16:13
    They see proof that peaceful change is possible ...
