Proudhon (1851), I wish for you to imagine the following: Imagine being watched; imagine being inspected; imagine being spied upon; imagine being directed; imagine being numbered, regulated, and enrolled; imagine being indoctrinated, preached at, and controlled; imagine being checked, estimated,Ãâà...

Some now-distant figures of intellectual foment spring to life, in the form of Olivier Gourmet as French anarchist Pierre-Joseph Proudhon (self-satisfied) and Alexander Scheer as German firebrand Wilhelm Weitling (a grandstander). But director Raoul Peck is somewhat overwhelmed by the challenge ofÃâà...

There's no significant crisis of faith, no backsliding, no ideological confusion (though Karl and Friedrich skirmish by pamphlet with the Young Hegelians and, later, with the anarchist Pierre-Joseph Proudhon). Never does The Young Karl Marx seem at all inclined to apologize for its use of unwaveringÃâà...

We hear Proudhon in the act of declaiming his most famous proposition: that property is theft. We recognize the Russian anarchist Bakunin when, listening to Proudhon's speech, he cries out, “Vive l'anarchie!” (Marx tells Bakunin that he himself is not an anarchist, but he allows Bakunin to introduce him toÃâà...

When Pierre-Joseph Proudhon appears, you can count the seconds until he announces, "Property is theft." It takes just as little time for Mikhail Bakunin to shout, "Long live anarchy!" Visual cliches ease the viewer along, too. When Engels, the son of a wealthy textile manufacturer, makes his way to a warmlyÃâà...

Although Pierre-Joseph Proudhon had declared in his What Is Property? that all property, and hence all appropriation, was theft, Marx pointed to the illogic of such a position, since there could be no theft, i.e., expropriation, without the prior appropriation or property. Proudhon's view, with its lack of historicalÃâà...

Property is theft – or so claimed Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, the French father of modern Left-wing anarchism. He was utterly, pathologically wrong, of course: private property is the source of almost all that is great about our civilisation. It enables us to live free, unique lives, giving us power and control overÃâà...

“Property is theft” has become one of the oft-quoted slogans of the anti-authoritarian left, seen on T-shirts worldwide. It derives from the writing of French anarchist Joseph Proudhon, who figures in The Young Karl Marx as the protagonist's foil. The idea is represented on-screen in the opening shots, whereÃâà...

Not all that dissimilar from this mindset that calls it “theft” when people are allowed to retain more of their own income is the radical “property is theft” maxim famously coined by French economist, mutualist and anarchist Pierre-Joseph Proudhon in his 1840 book “What is Property? Or, an Inquiry into theÃâà...

Proudhon takes the stage to speak about the need for an economy that won't grind the people into the dirt. He's surrounded by what looks like an entourage of co-thinkers who don't look especially happy about it when Marx throws "the master" a hard question, though both he and the audience seem toÃâà...

IT was the 19th century anarchist philosopher Pierre-Joseph Proudhon who declared: “Property is theft.” Quite a lot of people know that. What many don't know is that he also said: “Property is impossible.” And: “Property is despotism.” And: “Property is freedom.” Clearly, he had a considerable propertyÃâà...
