Le Révolté was an anarcho-communist journal started by Peter Kropotkin, along with François Dumartheray and Georg Herzig, in February 1879.

[1] The journal was partially funded by Elisée Reclus, Kropotkin's mentor.

At the time of the journal's founding, Reclus and Kropotkin were living in the village of Clarens on Lake Geneva.

After Kropotkin was expelled from Switzerland and convicted in the Lyon trial of 1883 (for belonging to a defunct organization, i.e., The International), Le Révolté needed a new editor.

The switch to La Révolte resulted from a desperate and ineffective effort to avoid legal responsibility for a fine assessed the journal for participating in an illegal lottery in support of military desertion.
