Ilegalismo

El ilegalismo es una filosofía ilegal anarquista surgida en Francia, Italia, Bélgica y Suiza durante los primeros años 1900 como desarrollo dentro del anarquismo individualista.^[1]^[2] El ilegalismo adoptó abiertamente el crimen como estilo de vida; no era una doctrina política propiamente dicha.

El ilegalismo tomó importancia para una generación europea inspirada por el descontento de los años 1890, durante los cuales Ravachol, Émile Henry, Auguste Vaillant, Michele Angiolillo y Geronimo Caserio cometieron atrevidos crímenes en nombre del anarquismo, en línea con la llamada "propaganda por el hecho".

Influido por el egoísmo de Max Stirner, el ilegalismo rompió con anarquistas como Clément Duval y Marius Jacob, quienes justificaban el robo con una teoría de la expropiación individual. En contraste, desde el ilegalismo se argumentaba que sus acciones no requerían una base moral, es decir, que los actos ilegales no se realizaban en nombre de ningún ideal superior sino con el objetivo de satisfacer los propios deseos. La francesa "Banda de Bonnot" fue el más famoso grupo ilegalista.

The Bonnot Gang: the history of the french illegalists. pg 5.
↑ "Parallel to the social, collectivist anarchist current there was an individualist one whose partisans emphasized their individu�al freedom and advised other individuals to do the same...Some individualists rebelled by withdrawing from the economy and forming voluntary associations to achieve self-sufficiency. Others took the route of illegalism, attacking the economy through the direct individual reappropriation of wealth. Thus theft, counterfeiting, swindling and robbery became a way of life for hundreds of individualists, as it was already for countless thousands of proletarians.""THE "ILLEGALISTS"" by Doug Imrie (From Anarchy: a Journal Of Desire Armed, Fall-Winter, 1994-95)
