He is considered among the most influential figures of anarchism and a major founder of the revolutionary socialist and social anarchist tradition.

Quote #1 on Political Struggle Quotes >> Elections and Tyranny
“But, one might say, could the State, the democratic State, based upon the free suffrage of all its citizens, be the negation of their liberty? And why not? That would depend entirely on the mission and the power that the citizens surrendered to the State. A republican State, based upon universal suffrage, could be very despotic, more despotic even than the monarchical State, if, under the pretext of representing everybody's will, it were to bring down the weight of its collective power upon the will and the free movement of each of its members.”
