Pamphlet on anarchism in Esperanto
Anarcho-esperantist flag

Anarchism and Esperanto are strongly linked because of their common ideals of social justice and equality. During the early Esperanto movement, anarchists enthusiastically publicized the language, and the two movements have much common history.

History

Anarchists were among the first to publicize Esperanto. In 1905, the first Esperanto anarchist group was founded. Many other followed: in Bulgaria, China, and other countries. Anarchists and anarcho-syndicalists, who before the first world war belonged to the largest group of proletarian Esperantists, founded Paco-Libereco,[1] an international league which published the newspaper Internacia Socia Revuo (International Society Review). Paco-Libereco merged with another progressive association, Esperantista Laboristaro (Esperanto Workers). The new organization was called Liberiga Stelo (Freeing Star).[2]

After World War II, the Paris group was the first to restart organized labor. From 1946 it published the newspaper Senŝtatano (person without a country).[3]
