| | Robert Graham on Proudhon |
 | | The General Idea of the Revolution in the Nineteenth Century is one of the classics of anarchist literature.[1] Written in the aftermath of the 1848 French Revolution, it sets forth a libertarian alternative to the Jacobinism which at that time still dominated the republican and revolutionary movements in France. |
 | | Thus, it is the general idea of Proudhons revolution, as it were, and not his specific proposals and criticisms, which remains relevant today. |
 | | In General Idea of the Revolution, it is the principle of association conceived as an end in itself, rather than as a necessary means to individual liberty, which is the focus of Proudhons criticisms. |
