In this respect, facing a Marxist centralism type, called for anti-urban community that was based on partnership structures and seek again the connection with nature. After studying philosophy, literature and art history, from the early nineties of last century it exerted a journalist in Berlin. The "anti-political" Landauer fought like a literary intellectual renewal of the empire, colonization projects developed and participated in the Bavarian November revolution in Munich, where he was killed by anti-revolutionary troops.
