Anarchy

a journal of anarchist ideas


Anarchy was an anarchist monthly magazine produced in London from March 1961 until December 1970. Articles are reprinted with the kind permission of the copyright holder, Freedom Press. Articles listed below in boldface contain transcribed articles. The rest are pending transcription.

Complete issues

In addition to the full issues available on this site, a majority of Anarchy issues have been scanned and uploaded to the Internet Archive (IA), libcom.org (LC), and The Sparrows’ Nest (SN). Links to these issues are provided with the full list of issues.


My purpose here is to fill in the gaps wherever possible with articles fully transcribed by hand using wiki formatting. This is done to preserve the look and spirit of the original magazine, but in a form that is more searchable and more dynamic. Clicking an author’s name will reveal a list of all the author’s contributions to Anarchy, while subject categories displayed at the bottom of each article will show available articles on the same topic. Hyperlinks in the body of each article are provided to give context to the places, people, institutions, and events referenced therein. These aren’t substitutes for your own research, but can be helpful especially for the twenty-first-century reader unfamiliar with the terminology and cultural touchstones assumed by the authors to be already familiar to contemporary anarchists.
