"There cannot be a history of anarchism in the sense of establishing a permanent state of things called "anarchist." It is always a continual coping with the next situation, and a vigilance to make sure that past freedoms are not lost and do not turn into the opposite."

Paul Goodman was born on September 9, 1911 in the United States. He was a prominent anarchist philosopher, pacifist, poet, novelist, and playwright, known primarily for his contribution to the anarchist movement through his writings and activism.
Goodman's political philosophy was rooted in anarchism, pacifism, and humanism. His seminal work, 'Growing Up Absurd: Problems of Youth in the Organized System', is a critique of modern society and education, and has been influential in shaping the discourse on these topics. He was deeply involved in the anti-war movement during the Vietnam War, and advocated for decentralization, community-controlled resources, and the abolishment of state power. Goodman passed away on August 2, 1972 leaving behind a rich legacy of political thought that continues to inspire activists and thinkers today.
