Defiance

As long as there have been anarchists, we have come into conflict with the law. From the workplace to the street, our actions have put us before judges and juries time and again. Many of us have chosen to maintain our defiant opposition to the law, despite the threat of punishment. This anthology collects the words of anarchists facing condemnation by a court system we don’t believe in.

“…the dock has been the most efficient and, permit me to say it, the most glorious of our platforms.”

—Errico Malatesta
