The originators of the expression "anarchism without adjectives" were Cuban-born [[w:Fernando_Tarrida_del_Mármol|Fernando Tarrida del Mármol]] and [[w:Ricardo_Mella|Ricardo Mella]], who were troubled by the bitter debates between [[file:Mutualist.png]] [[Mutualism|mutualist]], [[file:Anin.png]] [[Anarcho-Individualism|individualists]] and [[file:Ancom.png]] [[Anarcho-Communism|communist]] anarchists in the 1880s. Their use of the phrase "anarchism without adjectives" was an attempt to show greater tolerance between anarchist tendencies and to be clear that anarchists should not impose a preconceived economic plan on anyone—even in theory.

This conflict soon spread outside of Spain and the discussion found its way into the pages of La Revolte in Paris. This provoked many anarchists to agree with [[w:Errico_Malatesta|Errico Malatesta's]] argument that "[i]t is not right for us, to say the least, to fall into strife over mere hypotheses". Over time, most anarchists agreed (to use [[w:Max_Nettlau|Max Nettlau's]] words) that "we cannot foresee the economic development of the future" and so started to stress what they had in common, rather than the different visions of how a free society would operate.
