outlived its right to existence, and I fight against it as a survival of the past. Consequently I am an Atheist.

I believe that the hour for the practical realization of anarchism has struck. Anarchism has ceased to be a Theory and has become a program, and, accordingly, it has entered upon a constructive period of its development. I co-operate fervently in this development, and so I am a Constructionalist.

I am no maximalist in anarchism, since I hold --- in view of all the objective factors --- that anarchism can hardly be fully realized at once. On the other hand, I am no minimalist either, for I regard it as inexpedient and unhistorical to break up the realization of anarchism and communism into a series of consecutive steps in imitation of the socialists. Therefore I reject the "minimum program." I wish to see anarchism being brought to life today, but the degree to which anarchism and communism would actually be made a reality, I relate directly to the given historical moment. Therefore, within the province of anarchism, I am a Realist.

My realistic belief in the substantiation of anarchism --- Now and not in the remote and indefinite future --- leads me to analyse the present historical time as a whole, and to deduce from such analysis the positive scope, nature and form in which anarchist communism can be realized under the given historical circumstances. This assertion brings me to postulate an inevitable Transition Period from capitalism to an evolving anarchist communism. And in this way the realization of anarchism and communism in the given moment of history assumes, in my view, the form of a transitional stage, which I designate a Communalist-Syndicalist regime. The nature of that regime I define below.

MY VIEW OF THE REALIZATION OF ANARCHISM AND COMMUNISM

The future social revolution must take into account the circumstance that the industry and agriculture inherited by it from capitalism would not be uniform in the degrees of development of their various branches. On the strength of this self-evident fact of insufficient maturity, it might be impractical to communise many individual enterprises. Furthermore, there are entire forms of production, for instance agriculture, whose communization might prove inadvisable.

Those types of production would be regarded as ripe for communization in which labor had already been socialized by capitalism, without the socialization of possessions having yet taken place. This category would undoubtedly include almost all branches of the manufacturing and service industries. But
