John Beverley Robinson (anarchist)

John Beverley Robinson (1853–1923), was an American anarchist author, publisher, translator, and architect.

He was for a time publisher of the Free Soiler the newsletter of the Georgist American Free Soil Society. Today he is most identified with the individualist/egoist wing of American anarchism (though he also had incarnations as a Tolstoyan non-resistant and as a Georgist), and was associated with Benjamin Tucker’s Liberty.
