In an age of violent, brain-dead capitalist excesses, it is heartening to see that people have taken the trouble to pay their respects to the (none too easy to find) burial site of Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, a very great figure in the history of anarchism, but in particular of the non-violent, or pacifist, variety.
