Albert Libertad was an influential anarchist writer and activist born in France on 24 November 1875. Despite being physically handicapped from a young age, he tirelessly championed for anarchy, denounced militarism, and worked against established institutions. He authored a series of successful articles and pamphlets, including 'The joy of living,' challenging the contemporary societal values and putting forward different aspects of anarchist philosophy.
His writings and lifestyle extensively influenced the anarchist movement, and he was associated with fellow anarchists such as Emile Armand and André Lorulot. He breathed his last on 12 November 1908, imprinting his ideologies in the annals of anarchist history. Defying oppression and promoting freedom, Libertad embodied the spirit of rebellion, leading an iconic struggle against constraints and institutionalized authority. His legacy lives on in the form of the Libertarian Communist Federation, which took inspiration from his ideas and writings. His prominent message was that of liberation, not solely from the chains of societal structures, but also from those in one’s mind.
