All progress has been made by fighting and defying authority. Great men in history - men who have done real work, that is, work useful for the progress of the human race by breaking and defying laws and regulations apparently made for everlasting time -- showed mankind new roads, opened new ground. There were rebels, and the last in this series -- those who wish not only to be free themselves but who saw that which before them men did not see so clearly, that to be free ourselves we must be surrounded by free men; that the slavery of the meanest human being is our own slavery. Those last rebels for freedom and progress are the Anarchists of all countries, and in solidarity with them we appeal to you.
