Biographical Sketch:

As a young man frequenting bohemian circles, Benedict Lachmann met John Henry Mackay (1864 – 1933). Mackay introduced Lachmann to the egoism of Max Stirner.

Lachmann wrote Protagoras, Nietzsche, Stirner / ein Beitrag zur Philosophie des Individualismus und Egoismus (Protagoras – Nietzsche – Stirner / A Contribution to the Philosophy of Individualism and Egoism) in 1914. A 1978 edition of this book was published by Kurt Zube’s Mackay-Gesellschaft (Mackay Society). Kurt is the father of John Zube, the creator of the Peace Plans / Libertarian Microfiche Project.

Lachmann opened a bookstore in 1919, the same year of publication as his magazine Der individualistische Anarchist. In the 1930s he turned over his bookshop to an assistant. As a Jewish man and an individualist he was unable to operate a bookshop in National Socialist Germany. Lachmann was in the first group of Jews deported from Berlin. He died in Ghetto Litzmannstadt in the city of Łódź, Poland, on December 4th, 1941.

Prospectus:

Der individualistische anarchist asks those in whose hands this booklet comes who are ignorant of the principles of individualistic anarchism to pay attention to the explanations below. Anarchism is against authority, its goal is order and freedom. Unfortunately, it is still not superfluous to repeat that anarchism and anarchy are not disorder and are not chaos. Only the antiquated idea that order without domination is not possible has created and sustains this misuse of the word anarchism.

[…] Freedom is both an aim and a means for the anarchist. He therefore rejects every violent conversion, every compulsion, and, like every dictatorship, abhors every dictatorial means. He wishes to remain unpolluted in his affairs as long as he is not aggressive, and not to harass others unless they become aggressive with him. Individualistic Anarchism is not a party; it is a free association of those who seek their personal freedom. Anyone who wants to belong to this association, as long as he wants it.
