A Free Republic Founded by Pirates

At

On the shores of Madagascar, a pirate captain built a so- cialistic state in the days when monarchy prevailed. Captain Misson, born in France a little before 1700, was the man. 15 he went to sea, meeting in Rome a priest, Carloccioll, whose general views were not too strictly catholic. They became fast friends, and Cartoccioll shed his robes to be Misson's shipmate.

When a sea fight claimed the lives of their officers, Carloc cioli harangued the crew on atheism and communism. He won them into making the deck of the Victoire their own marine community, and electing Misson their leader.

The buccaneers eventually anchored off Madagascar. Here Misson established a colony called Libertatja.

No pro- perty or money was individually owned. Everything became part of the common-wen). And Captain Misson was chosen Lord Conservator.

Unfortunately a native attack finally forced them to sea, and their vessel was lost in a hurricane.
