Ricardo Flores Magon Political Mexican journalist and playwright. Explored the ideas and works of distinguished contemporary anarchists.
deluded utopians!, This is the least we are told, and this has been the cry of the conservatives of all time against those who seek to set foot outside the fence that imprisons the human cattle .
deluded utopians!, We cry, and when they know that our demands are taking account of land tenure to give it to people, the cries are sharper and stronger insults: thieves, murderers, evil, traitors!, tell us.
And yet, it is the dreamers and utopians of all time whom humanity owes its progress. What is called civilization, what is if not the result of the efforts of the Utopians?
dreamers, poets, dreamers, utopians so despised by serious people, as pursued by the paternalism of Governments: hanged here, shot there, burned, tortured, imprisoned, dismembered in all ages and all countries have been, however, proponents all forward movement, the visionaries who have brought to the masses blind, light paths that lead to glorious heights.
would have to give up any progress, it would be better to give up all hope of justice and greatness in humanity if even in the space of a century to tell the family leave human among its members some dreamers, utopians and dreamers. That serious people traveling on those list of the dead men they admire.
What if there were dreamers? Why they are admired, but because they were deluded? What is the surrounding of glory, if not its utopian character?
so despised that kind of human beings arose Socrates, des prized by serious and sensible people of his day and admired by same time he had opened his mouth to make swallow them my we hemlock.
Is Christ? If they had lived at that time the lords sensible and serious today they would have tried, sentenced and even nailed infamous tree in the great utopian, in whose image they cross and humiliate.
There have been revolutionary in the social sense of the word has not been reformer who has not been attacked by the ruling classes of his time as utopian, dreamy and deluded.
Utopia, hope, dreams ...! Much poetry, so much progress, how much beauty and yet, how much you despise!
Amid the triviality environment, the utopian humanity dreams of a fairer, healthier, more beautiful, wiser, happier, and while externalizing their dreams, envy pale, dagger search his back, the spy henchman, the jailer takes the keys and sign the statement tyrant death. Thus mankind has maimed in all-time best members.
Adelante! The insult, the prison and the threat of death can not prevent the utopian dream .
