[Anonymous group of anarcho-socialists, writing for "Epi ta Proso", 1896:] Yes, our ideas are high and noble. We have already said so and we will keep repeating it, because we want man to become what he is destined to be on earth. We want him to be totally free. Free in his will. Free in his thought. Free in respect to his peers. Free in learning. Free in love. Free from prejudice. Free from every vice, passion, habit and malice; free from plunder, theft, cruelty, lie, envy, brutality, hatred, etc.. We want him free from and not slave to money. We want him equal with all his peers. We want him equal when facing the strong. We want women to be equal to men. That is how we want man and that is what we are striving for.

The new society that results would be organized as a decentralized network of democratically-run institutions and voluntary associations. Neighborhoods would be controlled by the people who live in them, workplaces by the people who work in them, schools by the people who teach and learn there. These various groupings would be free to act independently, or to affiliate and coordinate their activities, according to which approach best suits their purposes.
