Expropriative anarchism vs la reprise individuelle[edit]

It would be nice to outline the similarities and differences between expropriative anarchism and la reprise individuelle. My reading is that the former was essentially social in nature, carried out as part of a larger "movement" strategy, while the later was individualistic, bordering on lifestyle criminality (a forerunner to illegalism, premised on ethics rather than egoism). But I don't have any reliable source saying as much. Does anyone have any materials covering this? - N1h1l (talk) 17:07, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"anarchism"[edit]

All of this is well known - but almost every cash-poor revolutionary movement has engaged in similar behavior (Marxist, Jihadist, Bourgeois, whatever). Moreover, many ideologies make expropriation a virtue and the process could be well documented in scores of instances. I'm not convinced that the article distinguishes between a tactic and a strategy; indeed, the first sentence admits as much: "...the name given to an anarchist practice..." - do we not already have articles covering insurrectionary anarchism, propaganda by the deed, the activities of the Bonnot Gang, etc.? What is the point of this article? Surely these should not get more coverage than, say, 60s and 70s Marxist hold-ups? Tothebarricades (talk) 12:20, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The usual criterion for inclusion of a topic is notability in the sense of having been treated as such in reliable sources. This topic appears to meet that criterion; almost all sources are in Spanish, but that is not relevant for assessing notability.

Perhaps the topic of 60s and 70s Marxist hold-ups also meets our notability criterion – an issue i haven't looked into and have no a priori opinion on – and if so its treatment in a separate article is equally warranted. --Lambiam 22:15, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

One shoul at least add that Alexandre Marius Jacob worked in the same way: not individualist, but for the Anarchist cause. In the first part this practice is described as a solely spanish thing, which it isn't. Andi — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.16.152.193 (talk) 19:39, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

spelling error?[edit]

Why does the quote in the introductory paragraph say "bourgoisie" instead of bourgeoisie? — Zcbeaton (talk) 03:02, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Scope[edit]

The recent attempted deletion of this article has raised an important question about the scope of this article. As it stands, it's relatively short article and almost all of its cited sources are in Spanish. This is an issue as I haven't been able to find an "expropriative anarchism" in any of my English language sources. In contrast, the anarchist theory/tactic of expropriation has a lot more written about it. As such I think this article could do with a shift in scope, away from trying to look at this as a tendency and towards looking at this as the concept. -- Grnrchst (talk) 10:48, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
