You will find a new translation of Hector Morel's "Dialogues Between an Anarchist and an Authoritarian" (1888) linked in the sidebar of this post, which contains my translation of his 1862 work "Nationalities."
The Dialogues are an interesting example of anarchist communist thought in the movement's early, more or less "anti-organizationalist" period. But they are also just a fun, rather uncompromising defense of anarchist ideas.
This new translation is likely not an authentic Ravachol letter, but it is certainly more interesting than most of the apparent fakes. https://www.libertarian-labyrinth.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Ravachol-We_could_agree.pdf #workingtranslations #anarchisthistory #ravachol

The Three Eras (May 22, 1848)
What does anarchy mean in the streets, if not the absence of informers and armed police? But if, without armed police, without informers, without gendarmes, order reigns in the streets; if no one is robbed there, if no one is murdered there, if no one is insulted there, will the population not h

New draft translation: P.-J. Proudhon, “The Right to Work and the Right of Property” (1848) — This is a fascinating text, which is one of the largely unexplored links between the memoirs on property in the early 1840s and works like "Theory of Property."

I have completed a rough translation of the Foreward, the long chapter on War, the Counterproposal and the Epilogue from Proudhon's completed, but ultimately unpublished 1859 book "How Business is Going in France And Why We Will Have War,
If We Have It: On the New Proposed Agreements Between the Railway Companies and the State." Folks who have read "War and Peace" or are familiar with his writings on political geography and the question of natural boundaries will find parts of the material familiar.
