“(T)he past is what man should not have been. The present is what man ought not to be. The future is what artists are.”

Published originally as “The Soul of Man Under Socialism,” this is not so much a work of sober political analysis; rather it can be summed up as a rhapsodic manifesto on behalf of the Individual. Socialism having deployed technology to liberate the whole of humanity from soul-destroying labour, the State obligingly withers away to allow the free development of a joyful, anarchic hedonism…

“Is this Utopian? A map of the world that does not include Utopia is not worth even glancing at, for it leaves out the one country at which Humanity is always landing.”

Far from abandoning the epigram in favour of the slogan, Wilde wittily assails several of his favourite targets: the misguided purveyors of philanthropy; life-denying ascetics of various kinds; the army of the half-educated who constitute themselves the enemies of Art – and those venal popular journalists who cater to them…

“Behind the barricade there may be much that is noble and heroic. But what is there behind the leading-article but prejudice, stupidity, cant, and twaddle?” (Introduction by Martin Geeson)

The 1907 article by Kōtoku Shūsui that launched an anarchist tendency among members and allies of the first Japan Socialist Party, translated into English.

The classic article by Kōtoku Shūsui that launched the anarchist movement in Japan. In The Change in My Thinking, Kōtoku, one of Japan’s foremost socialists in the late Meiji period, laid out the reasons for his move toward anarchism, his insistence that “direct action” is the only way to truly realize a social revolution, and his plea for his socialist comrades to re-consider their strategy of prioritizing parliamentary power.
