International Anarchist Congress


Amsterdam August 24-31, 1907

Notes:

Netherlands: International Anarchist Congress openly held at Amsterdam (Aug. 24-31, 1907), leading to the formation of the Internationale Anarchiste.

Preliminary events are held on the first two days, with a reception held on August 24 & meetings on August 25. The first full formal working sessions begin on the 26th.

Among the better-known participants are Max Baginsky, Siegfried Nacht, R. Friedeberg , Alexander Schapiro, F. Domela Nieuwenhuis, Christian Cornélissen, Henri Beylie, & Pierre Monatte, Emma Goldman, Luigi Fabbri, Biófilo Panclasta, Pierre Ramus, Rudolf Rocker, Karl Walter, Émile Chapelier, Ceccarelli, & Benoit Broutchoux.

Both in the congress & in the organization Errico Malatesta took a prominent part, & the published debates show him at his best, upholding uncompromising revolutionary anarchism against all side issues.

Errico Malatesta was one of the members of the International Bureau. The circulars of the Bureau & other statements, etc., note the progress of this Association, which was rather slow. It would have been revived in one form or another at the congress, proposing to meet in London, August, 1914, which the war beginning that same month made of course impossible. Only in December, 1921, an international congress was held at Berlin; Malatesta could not be present.
