    PRICE 5 CENTS. SOCIALISM vs ANARCHY BY A. M. SIMONS Editor of the International Socialist Review. POCKET LIBRARY OF SOCIALISM Monthly,5oc a Year. No. fr,September 15, IQOP -- Published by CHARLES H. KERR & COMPANY (CO-OPERATIVE) 56 Fifth Avenue, Chicago, 111. PREFATORY NOTE. On Sept. 5, 1901, William McKinley, Presi- dent of the United States, was shot by Leon Czolgosz, a self-declared anarchist. On Sept. 13 the President died of his wound. On Sept. 15, while the people were naturally in a state ~ of wild excitement orer the tragedy, ‘A. M. Simons, editor of the International Socialist Rericw, delivered the following address at the Socialist Temple, 120 South Western are- nue, Chicago. The hall was packed to the limit and hundreds were turned away. In response to the general desire of those present, the address is now published, in the hope that it may have some effect in remov ing the prejudice existing against socialism by those who ignorantly confound it with anarchy, Socialism vs. Anfrcby. a Once again the anarchists have proven them. selves the dearest foes of capitalism. The story, long grown old in Europe, haa been repeatti , here. The act of one fanatical criminal at Buf- falo has rallied every force of reaction and ex- ploitation as no avowed defender of capitalism could hope to do. It has long heen recognized in Europe that in every great emergency, when the forces of oppression ,are hardest pressed, they can always hope that some such de& $s this will come to their rescue. Indeed, Bis- marck, who must always hold the palm as the ablest defender of capitalism and the most cun- ning opponent of socialism that the nineteenth century has produced, did not hesitate, when necessary, to commit deeds of violence through the police in order to arouse public opinion.

Van Valkenburgh, Letter to Agnes Inglis, 1932 “The difficulty in finding perspective is related to the general American lack of a historical consciousness…Many young white activists still act as though they have nothing to learn from their sisters and brothers who struggled before them.” -George Lakey, Strategy for a Living Revolution, 1971 “From the start, anarchism was an open political philosophy, always transforming itself in theory and practice…Yet when people are introduced to anarchism today, that openness, combined with a cultural propensity to forget the past, can make it seem a recent invention—without an elastic tradition, filled with debates, lessons, and experiments to build on.” -Cindy Milstein, Anarchism and Its Aspirations, 2010 “Librarians have an ‘academic’ sense, and can’t bare to throw anything away! Even things they don’t approve of. They acquire a historic sense. At the time a hand-bill may be very ‘bad’! But the following day it becomes ‘historic.’” -Agnes Inglis, Letter to Highlander Folk School, 1944 “To keep on repeating the same attempts without an intelligent appraisal of all the numerous failures in the past is not to uphold the right to experiment, but to insist upon one’s right to escape the hard facts of social struggle into the world of wishful belief.

  • The Anarchist Periodical Press in the United States: an Intertextual Study of Prison Blossoms, Free Society, and the Demonstrator
    The Anarchist Periodical Press in the United States: An Intertextual Study of Prison Blossoms, Free Society, and The Demonstrator A Thesis Submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts and Science TRENT UNIVERSITY Peterborough, Ontario, Canada (c) Copyright by Laura Greenwood 2016 Cultural Studies PhD Graduate Program September 2016 ABSTRACT The Anarchist Periodical Press in the United States: An Intertextual Study of Prison Blossoms, Free Society, and The Demonstrator Laura Greenwood This dissertation focuses on the English-language anarchist periodical press in the United States in the 1890s and early 1900s. Each of the three chapters of this dissertation examines one anarchist paper and its coverage of a specific issue. The first chapter focuses on Prison Blossoms, which was started by Alexander Berkman, Carl Nold, and Henry Bauer and written and circulated in the Western Penitentiary of Pennsylvania, and its engagement with Alexander Berkman's attempt to assassinate Henry Clay Frick. The second chapter examines Free Society, a weekly edited primarily by Abraham Isaak, and its contributors' writings on the assassination of President William McKinley by self- described anarchist Leon Czolgosz. Finally, the third chapter focuses on The Demonstrator, specifically its first volume which was edited by James F. Morton Jr. from the intentional community of Home, Washington, and the paper's work in supporting John Turner, the first anarchist targeted for deportation under the Immigration Act of 1903. Drawing upon critical discourse analysis, this dissertation incorporates examination of the context in which these papers were written (particularly the immediate concerns to which the papers' authors responded), the form and generic conventions of the anarchist press, including the approaches of the papers' respective editors, and the arguments advanced by their authors.

  • The Public Figure Assassin As Terrorist
    In: Meloy JR, Sheridan L, Hoffmann, J., eds. (2008). Stalking, Threatening and Attacking Public Figures: A Psychological and Behavioral Analysis. New York: Oxford University Press, pp. 143-162. The Public Figure Assassin As Terrorist James Biesterfeld and J. Reid Meloy According to the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation, terrorism is defined as: “The unlawful use of force or violence committed by a group or individual against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives” (FBI, 28 CFR, Section 0.85). Although the history of public figure stalking, attacks, and assassinations is largely a product of the behavior that would not fit this definition, there are a subgroup of individuals who carry out stalking and attacks that would specifically meet this definition of terrorism. We offer this chapter as a counterpoint to the emphasis upon other motivations and the predominance of mentally ill individuals that characterize much of the contemporary research in this area. Our interest is the subject who stalks and attempts to kill a public figure to explicitly further a political, social, or in some cases, religious objective. TH THE ASSASSINS – 12 CENTURY MURDER, INCORPORATED One of the earliest examples of terrorism in this context would be that of the Hashisheen. They were a sect of Shia Islam known as the Ismailis – believers in the restoration of Ismail as the Mahdi of Islam. The founder of the order, Hasan bin Sabah, held ultra-conservative interpretations of Islamic philosophy and felt that anyone who did not believe as he did became a legitimate target for death.

I knew de Cleyre only as a figure mentioned in Avrich’s later book The Haymarket Tragedy. Because I relished Avrich’s writing already, because I had the enthusiasm of a recent convert to anarchist thinking, I could hardly wait to read de Cleyre’s biography. Avrich presented to his readers the depth and intensity of this intellectual powerhouse who repeatedly made sacrifices and endangered herself in order to stay true to her principles, which she never once compromised for her own safety’s sake. De Cleyre pressed her cause when anyone else would have dropped the activism due to poverty and sickness. No one, living or dead, could introduce her as well as Paul Avrich does with this biography, which is as inspiring to readers as Emma Goldman’s Living My Life or Ursula Le Guin’s The Dispossessed.

  • Jay Fox: Anarchist of Home Columbia Magazine, Spring 1990: Vol
    Jay Fox: Anarchist of Home Columbia Magazine, Spring 1990: Vol. 4, No. 1 By Mary M. Carr The utopian colony of Home was founded in 1896 on Von Geldern Cove, across the Tacoma Narrows on the Key Peninsula. Established by three families who were refugees from another failed utopian community, it became in time a successful anarchist colony whose most famed inhabitant was the sometimes elusive Jay Fox, anarchist and labor radical. Jay Fox's Irish-Catholic parents had immigrated to America shortly before he was born in New Jersey on August 20, 1870. Soon thereafter the family moved to Chicago where his mother's immigrant brother Martin Murphy helped them settle, as Fox later wrote in his memoirs, "in the back of the stock-yards in the midst of a medley of other poor foreigners." Although his parents hoped he would follow a pious path to the priesthood, he did not conform. He abandoned the faith of his forefathers and quit school at an early age. "Knowing how to read and make change was all the masses were required to know, all the bosses needed them to know, all that we could afford the time to acquire," said Fox of formal education. He later became an advocate of the Modern School Movement which stressed the importance of free thought and non-interference from church and state. At age 14 Fox landed his first job. For 50 cents a day, he worked for the "sauer-kraut king" of Chicago whose fields of cabbage grew in the stockyards. Since Fox's father worked for the Pennsylvania Railroad, earning only $1.40 a day, the contribution Fox made to the family's meager resources was welcome.
