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

Quote #2 on Political Struggle Quotes >> Nationalism and Imperialism
“... the State can have no duties toward foreign populations. Hence, if it treats a conquered people in a humane fashion, if it plunders or exterminates it halfway only, if it does not reduce it to the lowest degree of slavery, this may be a political act inspired by prudence, or even by pure magnanimity, but it is never done from a sense of duty, for the State has an absolute right to dispose of a conquered people at will.”
