The vast majority of anarchists, like the vast majority of Islamists, were not violent, and some of those who once believed in bloodshed, notably, Kropotkin, were to turn against it in time. But those who relished indiscriminate violence used an argument with striking similarities to that used by Mr bin Laden. Thus Emile Henry, who had left the bomb in the cafe at the Gare St-Lazare, was to justify his act by saying that those in cafe are all 'satisfied with the established order, all the accomplices and employees of Property and the State...There are no innocent bourgeois.' For his part bin Laden, in his 'Letter to America' of November 2002, justifies the 'aggression against civilians for crimes they did not commit' with a slightly more sophisticated variant. They deserved to die, he said, because, as American citizens, they had chosen 'their government by way of their own free will, a choice which stems from their agreement to its policies.'
Such sentiments recall the characters of Conrad's The Secret Agent and Fyodor Dostoevsky's Devils. Inspired by 19th century anarchist intellectuals and events, they describe men of almost autistic lack of empathy and contorted moral sense.

For Conrad's protagonist, nicknamed the Professor, the world's morality was artificial, corrupt and blasphemous. The way of even the most justifiable revolutions is prepared by personal impulses disguised into creeds. The Professor's indignation found in itself a final cause that absolved him from the sin of turning to destruction as the agent of his ambition. To destroy public faith in legality was the imperfect formula of his pedantic fanaticism; but the subconscious conviction that the framework of an established social order cannot be effectually shattered except by some form of collective or individual violence was precise and correct. He was a moral agent--that was settled in his mind. By exercising his agency with ruthless defiance he procured for himself the appearances of power and personal prestige. That was undeniable to his vengeful bitterness. It pacified its unrest; and in their own way the most ardent of revolutionaries are perhaps doing no more but seeking for peace in common with the rest of mankind--the peace of soothed vanity, of satisfied appetites, or perhaps of appeased conscience.
Anarchists like the Professor, a quiet man who went round with a bomb in his pocket that he could detonate with the squeeze of a rubber ball should he be arrested, were difficult to detect and impossible to deter. So why did their wave of terror pass? Not, it seems, because of the measures taken to deter them. The main reason, rather, was that the world became consumed with the first world war, the Russian revolution, the fight against fascism and the struggles against colonialism. Another was that, after a while, the more rational anarchists realized that terrorism seldom achieves the ends desired of it--as the IRA has recently acknowledged.
