Drawing on Pierre-Joseph Proudhon’s critique of private property, the study follows the links between theft, inheritance, primitive accumulation, and the shifting meanings of “aubaine right” from medieval to modern contexts. Through timelines of the French Revolution and discussions of outsiders and insiders, it examines the boundaries of belonging, the challenge of demarcating property, and the persistence of neo-feudal logics.","THERE WAS NO REVOLUTION  \nReflections on Property, Power and the Servile Condition  \nCATHERINE MALABOU  \nTranslated by Carolyn Shread  \nPraise for There Was No Revolution:  \n“In this brilliant and original study, Catherine Malabou extends her ongoing research into Pierre-Joseph Proudhon’s critique of private property. In and against the contemporary world – one that is ever more brutally protective of ever more abstracted property rights – Malabou justifies the necessity of Proudhon’s notorious equation of property and theft.”  \nJustin Clemens, University of Melbourne  \n“When Proudhon declared himself an anarchist, he also claimed,‘Between capitalism and communism I would build a world.’Malabou’s important contribution to the theory and practice of anarchism helps us to navigate the fragility of this ‘between,’an opening that anarchism must maintain against the return of domination and a place where no one belongs to no one, and where we shape each other mutually: ‘solo and socialist.’”  \nShuli Branson, author of Practical Anarchism: A Guidefor Daily Life  \nThere Was No Revolution  \nThere Was No Revolution  \nReflections on Property, Power, and the Servile Condition  \nCatherine Malabou Translated by Carolyn Shread  \npolity  \nOriginally published in French as Il n’y a pas eu de révolution.
