Excerpt from ‘Against Words – Against Thoughts’, part of the compilation Dora Marsden: The Freewoman and the Egoist Volume One (out of print ebook). Seeing as many old-time writers used “(the) race” as a synonym for “species”, much like “the human race” is used today, I’m unsure if she’s referring to humanity, or the bio-geographic […]
From Minus One (1963), No. 26, August 1970. This thievery from Wikipedia gives the uninitiated some background: Gregory Hill (21 May 1941 – 20 July 2000), better known by the pen name Malaclypse the Younger, was one of the two writers of the Principia Discordia, along with Kerry Wendell Thornley (aka Lord Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst).

Excerpt from a letter circa July 1932, from Warren Starr Van Valkenburgh (New York) to Emma Goldman (St. Tropez). I am enclosing the first issue of a boot-leg publication called the Clarion. L. J. Shapiro is a contractor, sympathizer but not an anarchist. He made available sufficient funds for the first three issues. Archie Turner […]
What follows is a transcription of a pamphlet probably written by S.E. Parker, and published by the MAN! Group. Because it found its way into the UoE library in the last week before the United States Presidential election, we decided to post it right away.

This review, credited to “Individualist,” appeared in Cinfuegos Press Anarchist Review Number 2 (1977). British spellings retained from original. – Trevor Blake Anarchism is not a doctrine of love, nonviolence or even freedom. This is a description of the society at which we are aiming. It is not for revolutionaries to idealise aims but resist […]
I am personally very proud to announce that the Union of Egoists is launching another archive project website,* dedicated to one of the latter half of the 20th century’s most important Egoists: Sidney E. Parker (1929-2012). SidParker.com is a fledgeling tribute to seemigly the first person to pick Egoism back up after World War II, […]
Hayter I first heard of Vanoc II from a newspaper clipping laid into a second-hand copy of The Ego and His Own by Max Stirner (New York: Modern Library 1919). To read that newspaper clipping, click here. In tracking down the source of that newspaper clipping I learned about an interesting character who spent a […]
I first heard of Vanoc II from a newspaper clipping laid into a second-hand copy of The Ego and His Own by Max Stirner (New York: Modern Library 1919). Vanoc II’s view is based on the irrefutable argument that if we all got along, we’d all get along. In researching Vanoc II I found no […]
Henry Bool, editor of “Liberty Luminants” collections mentioned in the previous post, can also be found in Benjamin R. Tucker’s Liberty, Volume 15, No 5. Below you’ll find a short piece by Tucker, followed by a letter from a disgruntled “Patriot.” As an additional note, the Labadie Collection contains correspondence of Henry Bool: Consists of […]
