The anarchist movement

Predating the Great Russian Revolution, the anarchist movement was perceived by the ruling classes as a serious menace to the established order. The anarchists were generally young idealists, educated people, willing to risk their freedom and lives for changing the rigid social order of the time. Many of them were coming from totalitarian states like Russia or Germany. Many of them, after their anarchist years, joined the ranks of the emerging communist movements of the time and were instrumental for the success of the Great Russian Revolution. The anarchists movement was about ideals but especially about violent action against the state. It was an anarchist attentat against Archduke Franz Ferdinand on June 28,1914, in Sarajevo, that sparked World War I. Alexander Berkman and Eva Goldmann were both active participants, theorists and historians of the movement. The anarchist ideas are not completely dead, although no longer as popular as they were to be by the beginning of the 20'th century. The anarchist credo,"There is no government as good as no government at all" is being carried on and professed by quite a few open-minded individuals.
