(AK) and I noticed that Emile Henry, while in prison and awaiting the guillotine (for throwing a bomb in a cafe) outlined his ideal society, which would include:- No more authority, which is far more contrary to human happiness than the few excesses that could occur at the beginning of a free society.
- In place of the current authoritarian organization, the grouping of individuals by sympathies and affinities without laws or leaders.
- No more private property; the gathering in common of products; each one working and consuming according to his needs, which is to say, as he wishes.
- No more family, selfish and bourgeois, making man the property of woman and woman the property of man; no more demanding of two beings who loved each other but a moment that they remain attached till the end of their days.
- Nature is capricious: it always demands new sensations. It wants free love. This is why we want free unions.
- No more fatherlands, no more hatred between brothers, pitting against each other men who have never set eyes on each other.
- Replacement of the narrow and petty attachment of the chauvinist for his country by the large and fruitful love of all of humanity, without distinction of race or color.
- No more religions, forged by priests to degrade the masses and give them the hope of a better life, while they themselves enjoy life in the here and now.
- On the contrary, the continual expansion of the sciences, put within the grasp of every being who will feel attached to their study, little by little bringing all men to a materialist consciousness.
- The particular study of hypnotic phenomena, which science is beginning to become aware of, in order to unmask the charlatans who present to the ignorant, in a marvelous and superstitious light, facts which are purely physical.
Emile Henry - Enemy of the State, Property, God, Hypnosis.
