Ernest Cœurderoy
Ernest Cœurderoy,, died at 21 October 1862 at Geneva was a medical doctor, a revolutionary journalist and a French libertarian writer. He lived in exile for most of his life and committed suicide.
Cœurderoy vigorously opposed the republican and socialist leaders who he saw as responsible for the defeat of the 1848 Revolution in France, which he had participated in. Under the triple influence of Charles Fourier, Pierre Leroux and Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, he advocated for a system that was a "synthesis of collectivism and libertarian mutualism". He demanded collective ownership of the means of production, free access for all to work instruments, individual property and the mutual exchange of labor products.
