Gabriel Mollin (September 15, 1835, Bourges – October 18, 1912) was a French revolutionary who successively advocated communism, positivism and anarchism.
He was by trade a metal gilder. He was a member of the Cercle des prolétaires positivistes and served as their delegate to the Basle Congress of the International Workingmen's Association (i.e. the First International) held in 1869.[1] [2]
He was married in 1873 and his wife had a child. In 1875 he was detained in the Sainte-Anne Hospital Centre after being diagnosed as suffering from mental derangement brought about by alcoholism. He left the asylum on 22 January 1876, accusing his psychiatrist and fellow positivist Jean-François Eugène Robinet of having him locked up so that his wife would leave and take away his son.[2]
