Quote
Anarchism and homicidal outrage (1893)
... the genuine Anarchist looks with sheer horror upon every destruction, every mutilation of a human being, physical or moral. He loathes wars, executions and imprisonments, the grinding down of the worker's whole nature in a dreary round of toil, the sexual and economic slavery of women, the oppression of children, the crippling and poisoning of human nature by the preventable cruelty and injustice of man to man in every shape and form.Richards 2016 70 observed: "This article (signed 'The Freedom Group') though it is certain that Charlotte Wilson was the author) was published in 1893 in response to a declaration from the Spanish government."
