Men Against The State: The Expositors of Individualist Anarchism in
America, 1827-1908 The writing of a history of anarchism in the
United States will run into the difficulties created by the
necessity of establishing criteria for the purpose of separating
anarchism from other expressions of radical social thought which
may be allied to but are distinct from it. On the verbal level the
most perplexing problem is that of definition of terms, beginning
with the basic word itself. In one respect the obstruction may
never be bridged. An almost insuperable barrier has been the matter
of semantics. The use of the term as an identification for a social
order characterized by the absence of the State is quite recent. As
used by Pierre Joseph Proudhon in this way, it is hardly more than
a century old. However, its association with reprehensibility in
this country has generally greatly restricted its use for
descriptive purposes. European radicals have been far less
inhibited in this way; hence the study of anarchism there is
relatively unimpeded by hesitancy on the part of radicals to
disclose themselves. Their propaganda has been open and identified,
and thus may be readily examined.
