Was Camus an anarchist? Anonymous 2016-02-04 06:23:26 Post No. 7658998 [Report]

So I've read just about every bit of Albert Camus' writing I could get my hands on (save his writing in different periodicals which I'm still getting to) and I've pretty much come to the conclusion he was a full blown syndicalist. He seems to idealize different anarchist figures in Mythe de Sisyphe and L'Homme révolté, and his essays on Algeria (especially his proposed solution) in Resistance, Rebellion, and Death read as if they could have been written by Kropotkin.

Do you agree or disagree? Know of any confirming statements? Feel free to tear me apart.

the anarchist is the hedonist who cannot bear the contingency of the conventions.

once you are no longer an hedonist, you do not mind abiding by rules (which are always stupid).

He was far from an anarchist. He knew that rebellion was essential for humans to find their place, but he was not for an anarchist form of government (if that's what you're asking).
