History and profile edit
Le Monde libertaire was first published as a monthly magazine in October 1954.[3] Its name is a reference to another publication called Le Libertaire, which was launched in France in 1895 by Sébastien Faure and Louise Michel.[3] On 6 October 1977 the frequency of Le Monde libertaire was switched to weekly.[3] The magazine is published by the Fédération Anarchiste.[1][4]
Le Monde libertaire was the sole mouthpiece of the French anarchist movement before 1968.[5] It did not support the involvement of France in the war in Algeria.[6] Unlike other anarchist publications, the magazine covered no content on environmental issues until Spring 1968.[5]
