Here are compiled two pamphlets that introduced for a modern anarchist audience the relevance of nihilism, and the historic connections and disconnections between nihilism and anarchy. Because nihilism is a word that is gaining notoriety and credence in some anarchist circles, it is also, much like the word anarchy, used in widely disparate ways. Is nihilism a hatred of everything? a hatred of everything that currently exists? a complete rejection of hope? or only of Hope™?
