Guy A. Aldred 1886 ― 1963 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. His crusade was earnest. He would not stand sham and hypocrisy. He resented careerism; the political ©leader© rising at the people©s expense. The avowed anti- militarist, he was at constant war with the wrongs of society. A true people©s champion. An objective study of his life and writings prove him a man of such immense character, knowledge and ability, courage, vision and humanity that to all lovers of liberty and progress, his name and his writings should be remembered for all time. The man and his message are immortal. g g g This pamphlet was first published in 1966 and the introduction was most likely written by John Taylor Caldwell, long-time comrade and colleague of Aldred and author of ªCome Dungeons Dark: The Life and Times of Guy Aldred, Glasgow Anarchistº, (Luath Press, 1988, ISBN: 0 946487 19 7) FROM GUY ALDRED'S WRITINGS g g g Each one of us should, and must, belong to ourselves. The individual is greater than the nation. If each individual will insist on belonging to him or herself, and will express truly their view of things, a true relationship will spring up and unite in bonds of harmony the men and women of all lands. On The Socialism of William Morris, in "Pioneers of Anti-Parliamentarism" g We are constantly cast down only to rise again. The Word has to be uttered in the shadows before it can be proclaimed from the housetops. The Spur, 1917 g If we are devoted to humanity, yet look for appreciation, we shall find ourselves crushed and transformed into careerists through the ingratitude of our fellows. Ingratitude will not hinder us if our inspiration is truth - without regard to recognition. Struggle must be its own reward. The Word, 1950 g I do not wish to see the purple parade of history. I am not interested in kings and queens, except when they fall and show some heroism. Then I would rescue them personally. I do not bow to accepted monarchs. I would not execute fallen ones. I am neither toady nor executioner. In their hour of suffering I would welcome ex-kings and ex-queens into the commonwealth as fellow-citizens and would do them no personal harm. I would wish them a long and happy life. Why not? "No Traitor©s Gait!", No.1, 1955 g There is no democracy outside of Socialism and no Socialism which is not democracy. The Spur, 1917 g What the people need is to study the principles of jurisprudence and relate those principles to the lawless activities of the bandits who secure power through the aid of universal suffrage and the operation of corrupt political machines. The Word, 1950 g Life is a race. If we are to play the game we must start fair. And if we are to start fair we must have equality. And if we are to have equality we must have socialism. The Spur, 1917 g Christianity is not what the divines say it it. Jesus did not teach Redemption. He preached emancipation. Historical and Traditional Christianity g Fleet Street, to me, is a memory of evil enchantment, a byway of falsehood and corruption controlled by vermin. Here genius was destroyed and talent prostituted. But it had its pleasant places. In these odd nooks and crannies I paused to vision the passing of the capitalist press, the doom of commercial journalism, and the dawn of a new civilization. I often thought of Richard Carlile and his heroic shopmen and shopwomen who had sanctified the site and I prayed, if that be the correct term for intense hopeful dedication and consecration of one©s energies, that I might tread in his footsteps. The Word, 1942 g Labour Parliamentarism is but the shadow and not the substance of working class emancipation. It is the shadow that masquerades as the body and sets up in opposition to the body, proclaiming the body to be the shadow. Socialism and Parliament, Part I g I have no other interest than to use my talents to serve the cause of the working class struggle, and to assist in establishing a free society in which every citizen shall have an equal right to happiness and well-being. The Word, 1950 g Let us vision this world as it is. The sordid mocking reality which mocks reality by its very realism of wanting realism; its deep and intense insincerity; its cynical failure to sound its own cynicism; its profound and disgusting shallowness. This quagmire of evil out of which only good to man must come finally. This chaos of falsehood out of which veracity must take its origin. This ignorance from which wisdom shall be begotten. This despotism whose aftermath shall be liberty. Let us understand and rejoice and be exceeding glad, for great is the destiny of humanity. Where we see nothing but fate and mischance to-day, to-morrow shall be witnessed purpose and well-being. The Spur 1917 g Could I decide the future it would be a free earth and a free humanity; an earth of joy; brotherhood, and service. One day that will be the decision, not of a small minority of pioneers, but of the great majority of mankind, the great common people in a mood of great common sense. The Word, 1942 g Human equality should know no sex, religious, race or political discrimination. Although egotism is a stronger characteristic than vanity, actually it is the negation of vanity, and has much virtue in it; nevertheless egotism is a blemish and acts as a lessening of one©s worth. The Word, 1952 g I am the declared enemy of those who flourish on wrong and by the maintenance of wrong. The men who accomplish revolutions are not candidates for the House of Commons. I have turned neither to right nor to left, but have persisted with one purpose - the purpose of bringing truth and emancipation to the people. The Word, 1952 g Truth is great and will prevail. Parliamentarism cannot solve, and does not seek to solve, the only problem that matters, the key problem of all human misery, the problem of class society. Its aim is to perpetuate Imperialist, or exploiting, society. It is a legacy of Roman Imperialism, a remnant of the Roman code. Socialism & Parliament, Pt 1 g I am no pessimist. I view my fellow men and sister women without cynicism. Their lives are one huge pathetic tragedy, a comedy not of errors but of tears. The Spur, 1918 g I am the unconquered and the unconquerable enemy. The grave will silence me. My body will be burnt but my writings will light a fire that will destroy reaction. We do change the world. The hopes of yesterday©s heroes and martyrs become the inspiring slogans of the martyrs of to-day and by them are passed on to the heroes and martyrs that will be to-morrow. The Word, 1961 g Jesus was a pioneer of human society, not the founder of a sect. He was a prophet, not a priest. His divine society was no mystery beyond the skies. It was a simplicity on earth, beyond the myths and the clouds that arise in men©s minds from false worship and theology. Jesus was a humanist and his divinity consisted of his intense humanity. The Word, 1952 g Beside the grave I have no tongue for eloquence, no gift for speech. I would bury the dead in silent meditation and keep the memory of their heroism green in my heart, and borrow their courage to sustain my spirit. I have not the words with which to point the moral of the dream that is rounded by two eternal sleeps. On John MacLean g g g .

  • 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, 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.

    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.
