now I translate a book by Rudolf Rocker. During my work to prepare, introduction of this book, I came across a letter dated May 15, 1952 (in Boris Yelensky). Rocker wrote, speaking of anarchism:
"I think our whole movement has become a major focus of personal feuds - not only here in the U.S., but in all countries. There is so much bitterness, so many and such a presumption strong tendency to underestimate or to speak ill of the good work of others, it is not surprising that our movement has entered the phase of its history the more critical since the time of the First International. The basic ideas of anarchism will never die and they remain a source of inspiration, but I doubt that a renewal the libertarian spirit will emanate from the ranks of the movement today. "
It deserves consideration, it seems to me anyway ... I wanted to keep track here.
