The Berlin Group of Anarcho-Synicalist Esperantists greeted the Second Congress of the International Workers' Association in Amsterdam in 1925 and reported that Esperanto had become so integrated into their movement that an international libertarian Esperantist organization had formed. This likely referred to the TLES, the World League of Stateless Esperantists, which later merged with SAT.

Esperanto was also popping off amongst anarchists and socialists in Korea, China, and Japan. Liu Shifu, a key figure in Chinese anarchism, began publishing La Voz del Populo, The Voice of the People, in 1913, the first anarchist periodical in China. His work relied heavily on information from Internacia Sociale Review and helped popularize Esperanto in China.

Japanese anarchists and socialists, as I mentioned, were among the earliest Esperantists in the country, but faced heavy persecution. And sadly, between Imperial Japan, Francoist Spain, Nazi Germany, and Stalinist Russia, the rise of totalitarian regimes leading to World War II largely suppressed the anarchist Esperanto movement.

After the war, the Paris Anarchist Esperanto Group was the first to resume organized work, launching the publication Sench Tatano in 1946. Most anarchist Esperantists have since been organized within SAT, with an anarchist faction maintaining its autonomy. In 1969, this faction began publishing the Libere Sana Bulteno, later renamed the Libere Sana Ligilo.

By 1997, SAT membership had dwindled to fewer than 1,500 members. The initial radical vision of SAT was weakened by political shifts and the growing dominance of English as a global lingua franca. The early separations between SAT and mainstream Esperanto organizations was a response to bourgeois political neutrality, but it also contributed to its marginalization.

And today, the anarchist Esperanto movement exists largely as a niche within SAT. So, what can we say about the role of Esperanto today? Well, one of the more interesting currents I found within the Esperanto community, mentioned by Firth, is Raumismo, a philosophy named after the Finnish city of Rauma, where a youth congress in 1980 helped define this approach.

Raumismo views Esperanto speakers as a kind of linguistic diaspora, a cultural group bound together by a shared language rather than a national identity. Instead of focusing on making Esperanto a universal second language, Raul Mistos embraced it as just one language among many, valuing its use in literature, culture, and everyday communication without any grand ideological ambitions.

But it's possible Esperanto can still play a role in facilitating exchange and collaboration between people of different linguistic backgrounds. A German anarchist once lamented the barriers to international understanding, quoted in Firth's article.
