The May Pamphlet

By Paul Goodman

First published in 1945, The May Pamphlet is considered the seminal theoretical work of anarcho-pacifist Paul Goodman. Goodman articulated his rejection of war and state coercion from a perspective anchored in personal ethics, setting out the need for every individual to decide on a moral standard for himself and act consistently on that standard in his own life. Other topics Goodman explored in this classic text included the failures of Marxist theory, the effect of sexual repression on reinforcing coercive behavior, and the widespread commitment to social conservatism enabled by American consumer culture.
