  • Anarchism and Religion
    Anarchism and Religion Nicolas Walter 1991 For the present purpose, anarchism is defined as the political and social ideology which argues that human groups can and should exist without instituted authority, and especially as the historical anarchist movement of the past two hundred years; and religion is defined as the belief in the existence and significance of supernatural being(s), and especially as the prevailing Judaeo-Christian systemof the past two thousand years. My subject is the question: Is there a necessary connection between the two and, if so, what is it? The possible answers are as follows: there may be no connection, if beliefs about human society and the nature of the universe are quite independent; there may be a connection, if such beliefs are interdependent; and, if there is a connection, it may be either positive, if anarchism and religion reinforce each other, or negative, if anarchism and religion contradict each other. The general assumption is that there is a negative connection logical, because divine andhuman authority reflect each other; and psychological, because the rejection of human and divine authority, of political and religious orthodoxy, reflect each other. Thus the French Encyclopdie Anarchiste (1932) included an article on Atheism by Gustave Brocher: ‘An anarchist, who wants no all-powerful master on earth, no authoritarian government, must necessarily reject the idea of an omnipotent power to whom everything must be subjected; if he is consistent, he must declare himself an atheist.’ And the centenary issue of the British anarchist paper Freedom (October 1986) contained an article by Barbara Smoker (president of the National Secular Society) entitled ‘Anarchism implies Atheism’.

  • Together We Will Make a New World Download
    This talk, given at ‘Past and Present of Radical Sexual Politics’, the Fifth Meeting of the Seminar ‘Socialism and Sexuality’, Amsterdam October 3-4, 2003, is part of my ongoing research into sexual and political utopianism. Some of the material on pp.1-4 has been re- used and more fully developed in my later article, Speaking Desire: anarchism and free love as utopian performance in fin de siècle Britain, 2009. This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License. ‘Together we will make a new world’: Sexual and Political Utopianism by Judy Greenway By reaching for the moon, it is said, we learn to reach. Utopianism, or ‘social dreaming’, is the education of desire for a better world, and therefore a necessary part of any movement for social change.1 In this paper I use examples from my research on anarchism, gender and sexuality in Britain from the 1880s onwards, to discuss changing concepts of free love and the relationship between sexual freedom and social transformation, especially for women. All varieties of anarchism have in common a rejection of the state, its laws and institutions, including marriage. The concept of ‘free love' is not static, however, but historically situated. In the late nineteenth century, hostile commentators linked sexual to political danger. Amidst widespread public discussion of marriage, anarchists had to take a position, and anarchist women placed the debate within a feminist framework. Many saw free love as central to a critique of capitalism and patriarchy, the basis of a wider struggle around such issues as sex education, contraception, and women's economic and social independence.

  • Makhno & the Makhnovshchina
    Makhno & The Makhnovshchina Myths & Interpretations Ben Annis April 2002 Contents INTRODUCTION. 3 CHAPTER 1. The Makhnovist Movement and Nestor Makhno 5 CHAPTER 2. Makhno, Bandit or Batko. 10 CHAPTER 3. The Makhnovshchina and Allegations of Anti-Semitism. 16 CHAPTER 4. Nestor Ivanovich Makhno. 24 CHAPTER 5. Makhno and the British Anarchist Movement. 30 CONCLUSION. 36 2 INTRODUCTION. What would you do if you came across a photograph of a fictional character?. I mean a character not an actor in the role of that character but the actual individual who you believed was purely the invention of an author, It happened to me. The author Michael Moorcock used Nestor Ivanovich Makhno as a fictional supporting character in his fantasy ‘The Entropy Tango’. Makhno ispor- trayed as a romantic revolutionary active in 1940’s Canada and as an old man in 1970’s Scotland. A couple of years after reading ‘The Entropy Tango’, I was reading through ‘Red Empire’, abook about the history of the Soviet Union, and ‘BANG’, a photograph of Makhno smiling at the cam- era. There was no real mention of Makhno in the book other than the caption to the photograph, indeed there is usually little on Makhno in book’s written about the Russian Civil war otherthan a paragraph or two. For a writer researching a work on the Civil war they have to rely on sources that are usually either propaganda or based on propaganda from either Bolshevik or White Rus- sian sources, both Whites and Reds had reasons to slander Makhno and his Makhnovshchina. Voline writing in the Preface for Peter Arshinov’s ‘History of the Makhnovist Movement’, (both men having been involved in the movement) describes the Makhnovshchina as; “an event of extraordinary breadth, grandeur and importance, which unfolded with exceptional force and played a colossal and extremely complicated role in the destiny of the revolution, undergoing a titanic struggle against all types of reaction, more than once saving the revolution from disaster”.

  • Editorial: Postanarchism
    Editorial: Postanarchism SAUL NEWMAN Postanarchism is emerging as an important new current in anarchist thought, and it is the source of growing interest and debate amongst anarchist activists and scholars alike, as well as in broader academic circles. Given the number of internet sites, discussion groups, and new books and journal publications appearing on postanarchism, it is time that the challenges it poses to classical anarchist thought and practice are taken more seriously. Postanarchism refers to a wide body of theory – encompassing political theory, philosophy, aesthetics, literature and film studies – which attempts to explore new directions in anarchist thought and politics. While it includes a number of different perspectives and trajectories, the central contention of postanarchism is that classical anarchist philosophy must take account of new theoretical directions and cultural phenomena, in particular, postmodernity and poststructuralism. While these theoretical categories have had a major impact on different areas of scholarship and thought, as well as politics, anarchism tends to have remained largely resistant to these developments and continues to work within an Enlightenment humanist epistemological framework1 which many see as being in need of updating. At the same time, anarchism – as a form of political theory and practice – is becoming increasingly important to radical struggles and global social movements today, to a large extent supplanting Marxism. Postanarchism seeks to revitalise anarchist theory in light of these new struggles and forms of resistance. However, rather than dismissing the tradition of classical anarchism, postanarchism, on the contrary, seeks to explore its potential and radicalise its possibilities. It remains entirely consistent, I would suggest, with the libertarian and egal- itarian horizon of anarchism; yet it seeks to broaden the terms of anti-authoritarian thought to include a critical analysis of language, discourse, culture and new modalities of power.

  • Sam Dolgoff Papers
    THE SAM DOLGOFF COLLECTION Papers, 1907-1969 (Predominantly, 1922-1935) 1.5 linear feet Accession Number 568 L.C. Number The papers of Sam Dolgoff were placed in the Archives of Labor and Urban Affairs in September and October of 1972 by Mr. Dolgoff and opened for research in July of 1983. Born in 1902, Sam Dolgoff began working at an early age as an itinerant laborer in lumbercamps, steel mills and construction projects. He was involved in radical movements since the age of 15 when he joined the Socialist Party youth organization, later turning toward anarchism. His view of anarchism as a constructive social movement was influenced by his mentor Gregori Maximoff, a Russian anarchist. Using the pen name Sam Weiner, Dolgoff wrote widely in radical and anarchist periodicals. Two of his pamphlets are recognized as important critiques of American labor: Ethics and American Unionism (1958) and The Labor Party Illusion (1961). They are not included in this collection. He also served as a correspondent for a number of radical papers in Europe. The papers of Sam Dolgoff which consist of pamphlets on anarchism, socialism and communism reflect his interest in and involvement with radical unionism and politics. Important subjects covered in the collection are: Industrial Workers of the World Radical unionism Communism An index to subjects will be found on p. 5 Sam Dolgoff - 2 - Contents 3 manuscript boxes Series I, Pamphlets, 1907-1969; Boxes 1-3: Pamphlets and booklets on communism, socialism, and radical unions.

    Workers© Web :: Guy Aldred Library In Memoriam GUY A. ALDRED 1886 ― 1963 g Quotations from the writings of Guy A. Aldred g GLASGOW 1966 WgW :: 2006 ªI am the unconquered and the unconquerable enemy. The grave will silence me...but my writings will light a fire that will destroy reaction.º Guy A. Aldred 1886 Ð 1963 GUY ALFRED ALDRED 1886 - 1963 Guy Alfred Aldred was born in Clerkenwell on 5th November, 1886 and died in Glasgow just a few weeks short of his 77th birthday, on 16th October, 1963. This small presentation, containing a few random quotations, has been produced to coincide with the 80th Anniversay of the birth of this great and wonderful man, a man of true genius who vigorously and untiringly devoted his life to the enlightenment and uplifting of the people, and to the bringing about of Socialism - a society of equity and justice. His own life was one of great personal hardship and struggle; he was constantly reaching beyond his physical powers - caught up in the greater struggle of the well- being of all mankind. The quotations given here in no way do justice. Although he could capture all moods and had his own skilled original style, he did not write as an essayist practising an art. Like Michael Bakunin, of whom he wrote a splendid short biography, before him, he was too much a man of action to ponder over and dress each word and sentence. His writing was that of purpose; clear, logical and inspiring but complete. Although in himself a most kindly man, full of sympathy and understanding, he wrote with great attack.
