He (or she) who claims the title of "anarchist" has a blessing and a curse. The blessing is that all the revolutionaries of history offer their experience to her (or him). The curse is that all those who have overthrown are, in their turn, to be rejected for their failure to avoid the blight of new oppression.
We have any number of tutors, but no prophets. This is no great lack. All men are wrong in some way, and yet it is the greatest fool who refuses to learn from his fellow foolish.
