Is he actually an anarchist per the new category def? Or just someone who writes about them? Being a historian covering a certain subject doesn't necessarily make one an adherent to the cause.-- Hooperbloob 06:07, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)
A reasonable question, but I think Avrich was doing 'making more than a living' from studying Anarchism, or even a sympathetic student of the movement. Finding a quote where he admits as much might be a different matter tho'. John BTW, nice edit, whoever expanded the stub.
Dear Friends, Paul Avrich was as much an anarchist as anyone ever I've known in all these years, and a more powerful force inside the idea than anyone else who has influenced me. Let me make a few suggestions as to further testimony. Nunzio Pernicone knew Paul far better than I did, and on a higher level of knowledge. Also, Barry Patemen once asked Paul whether or not he was an anarchist. I'll let Barry tell you what Paul said, but I remember the quote with fondness. Also with fondness, I remember this warm-hearted historian as a cat-lover. But I learned a little more when I briefly met his daughter Jane, at Paul's memorial service: he would teach his children to carefully take the daddy long-leg spiders out onto the porch of their home, and to let them be free rather than to crush them underfoot. I hope this little note will cause my friend and mentor to be remembered more accurately. Paul was very severe on accuracy. BobHelms ( talk) 14:27, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
Mind that the profile was written as a school assignment and isn't published in a periodical with a reputation for fact-checking. czar 05:51, 15 June 2017 (UTC)Although Avrich calls himself an anarchist, he says that some kind of government is necessary. "I would like to say it could work, but people would have to get along with each other very well."
