Anarchism and the history of social movements in SloveniaDaša Tepina, 2021, original scientific article
Abstract: The article is a compilation of fragments of revolutionary movements in the Slovenian region,
which in one way or another were connected to or derived from the tradition of anarchist ideas and
practises. It is an overview of an omnipresent phenomenon that
never had or has never had a broader
social visibility, but was always present in the shadows and on the margins, continuously shaping
social movements and communities in revolt and offering refuge to many marginalised and oppressed
people, thus amplifying
their voice, which gradually changed the general social conditions. A modest
overview, supplemented by archival sources from the Slovenian archives and newspaper articles from
different periods. It covers a wide area of the fragmented 20th century, touchi
ng at the end on the
transition to the 21st century. So even it is difficult to argue that there is a history of the anarchist
movement in this region, that can be described as a rooted, consistent anarchist history, and it takes a
certain spirit of enquir
y to discover and bring to the surface anarchist ideas and practises, we,
however, can talk about fragments of historical events and groups that were connected and
intertwined with anarchist ideas in various practices connected with anarchist principles. A
nd all of
them were inherent for an organized anarchist movement, which was established in the last three
decades that we can speak today of an overtly coherent set of ideas and practises.
