Thomas F. Barton papers HLL.2019.005 2 HLL.2019.005 Arrangement The papers are arranged in two series: Series I. Iraq War 2003-2015, undated; Series II. Vietnam War and Political Organizations, 1964-2005, undated. Biographical / Historical Thomas F. Barton was born in 1935 in Indiana. He was active in the Young People's Socialist League (YPSL), a chapter within the Socialist Party, during the 1950s and through the first half of the 1960s. During this time, he was also a member of the Student Peace Union, in which he assisted in organizing the anti-Vietnam War movement in Philadelphia, and an editor of the Young Socialist Review. Barton represented the Chicago Branch of the YPSL at its national convention in 1964, a year by which the chapter began to align more closely with Trotskyism. This ideological shift led to many changes within the organization that ultimately led to its dissolution. Barton continued to participate in the peace movement throughout the 1960s and 1970s as the east-coast distributor of the anti-war Vietnam GI newsletter with fellow activist Jeff Sharlet, which was circulated to troops deployed in Vietnam as well as those in the Army Reserves in the United States. His participation with the newsletter laid the roots for his later anti-Iraq War activism. In 2003, Barton began publishing the anti-war Traveling Soldier newsletter which was distributed among soldiers deployed in Iraq, as well as Germany, Japan, and various military bases in the United States. Barton also established the Military Project, a committee that grew from the organizing efforts of Traveling Soldier that supported the immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq and helped organize soldiers and civilians against the war. The Military Project also organized prisoners against the Iraq War into the Prisoners Against the War section of the committee. In the same year, Barton also began publishing the anti-war GI Special newsletter, later known as Military Resistance, an emailed newsletter that is still being published. The Military Project collaborated with various anti-Iraq War organizations and committees, including Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW), Veterans for Peace (VFP) and the Troops Out Now coalition, to advocate for the end of the Iraq War. Barton remained active in the socialist and labor movements throughout his life. During the 1970s he published the pro-labor and anti-Vietnam War Wildcat newspaper, in association with the Wildcat group, which sought to organize industrial workers in various cities throughout the United States. He maintained membership in multiple socialist organizations throughout the 1970s and into the 2000s, including the American Socialist Organizing Committee, and published a newspaper of the same name. He was also a shop steward for Local 768, District Council 37, which organized against budget cuts to Medicaid and layoffs made within the Greater Hospital Association of New York (1199) in New York City.

    Men against Power: Antistatism, Grassroots Organizing, and the Vietnam Veterans Against the War by Ryan J. Kirkby A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2014 © Ryan J. Kirkby 2014 AUTHOR’S DECLARATION I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the history of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW) from its founding in 1967 through to the early 2000s. Whereas past scholars have interpreted VVAW’s activism as motivated by the therapeutic promises of protest, disenchantment with U.S. foreign policy, and reverence for the peace and justice movements of the 1960s, the present analysis situates VVAW in the context of the larger antistatist movement that emerged during the unraveling of liberalism in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It argues that VVAW’s activism, in addition to its clear antiwar purpose, represented an antistatist response to the top-down, technocratic features of the postwar liberal state. In doing so, it has three aims. First, it seeks to revive scholarly consideration of VVAW, an organization that is well known but has generated surprisingly little attention from historians since the late 1990s and early 2000s. Second, and equally important, it purposes a new perspective for understanding the postwar period, one that reinterprets sixties activism as part of a longstanding dialogue in American history regarding the limits of state power in an increasingly centralized system.

Starting from The Fellowship Foundation founded in the USA in the 1930s and looking at similar and interconnected developments in various countries from South America, Africa, and Europe, the article explores theological foundations of today's world- wide ascend of fascism. Using the example of Anders Behring Breivik’sfamous terrorist attack in Norway, it explores theoretical background for Alt-Right attacks on political correctness and ‘cultural Marxism’. Looking into the 'end of the world' theology and its morality, the article explains deep relationships between Christian fundamentalist prosperity theology and Israel. The article connects Christianity’s forward-looking, linear view of history with ‘end of the world’ theology and capitalism. It explores the postdigital and post-truth nature of evangelical Christians’ public communications and links them to various anti- intellectualist tendencies such as the anti-vaccination movement. Using insights from Marxism, critical pedagogy, and liberation theology, the article demystifies Christian fundamentalist theology and points towards opportunites for resistance.
