"Propaganda by the deed,"
-
sometimes attributed to the
-
Italian anarchist Malatesta
-
who had lots of influence in Spain,
-
in Italy and in Argentina;
-
who doesn't look like such a terrifying guy himself,
-
when you see him there,
-
but again the belief that a single act of violence would be
-
the spark that would bring social revolution.
-
Now, Kropotkin later had doubts about this, and he said,
-
"Personally I hate these explosions,
-
but I cannot stand as a judge to condemn those who are driven to despair."
