The Anarchist Concept of the Revolution - Luigi Fabbri
This text forms the bulk of a key chapter from Luigi Fabbri's 1921 work, 'Dictatorship and Revolution'. In it, Fabbri challenges popular misrepresentations of anarchism's revolutionary theory, articulating the consistency between anti-authoritarianism and revolutionary force, and upholding the distinct anarchist notion of social change through self-organisation. This translation is a re-working of João Black's, and corrects multiple errors in that version. I thank him for his important first effort in making this available in English.
