  • Libertarianism, Feminism, and Nonviolent Action: a Synthesis
    LIBERTARIAN PAPERS VOL. 4, NO. 2 (2012) LIBERTARIANISM, FEMINISM, AND NONVIOLENT ACTION: A SYNTHESIS GRANT BABCOCK* I. Introduction MURRAY ROTHBARD’S CONTRIBUTION to libertarian ethics was to outline a theory prohibiting aggressive violence (1978, p. 27-30). The influence of Rothbard’s ethics,1 combined with a decades-long political alliance with conservatives based on anticommunism, has produced a debate within libertarian circles about whether libertarians qua libertarians must take positions against certain forms of repression that do not involve aggressive violence. The non-aggression principle is as good a libertarian litmus test as has been suggested. Often, the voices who levy allegations of non-aggressive (or at least not exclusively aggressive) oppression come from the political left, and have un-libertarian (read: aggressive) solutions in mind, even if they do not conceive of those solutions as violent. Despite these considerations, I do believe that libertarians qua libertarians are obligated to say something about the kind of non-aggressive oppression that these voices from the left have raised regarding issues including, but not limited to, race, class, gender, and sexual orientation. Making the case that libertarians have these obligations irrespective of their * Grant Babcock ([email protected]) is an independent scholar.

  • Chapter One: Postwar Resentment and the Invention of Middle America 10
    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Jeffrey Christopher Bickerstaff Doctor of Philosophy ________________________________________ Timothy Melley, Director ________________________________________ C. Barry Chabot, Reader ________________________________________ Whitney Womack Smith, Reader ________________________________________ Marguerite S. Shaffer, Graduate School Representative ABSTRACT TALES FROM THE SILENT MAJORITY: CONSERVATIVE POPULISM AND THE INVENTION OF MIDDLE AMERICA by Jeffrey Christopher Bickerstaff In this dissertation I show how the conservative movement lured the white working class out of the Democratic New Deal Coalition and into the Republican Majority. I argue that this political transformation was accomplished in part by what I call the "invention" of Middle America. Using such cultural representations as mainstream print media, literature, and film, conservatives successfully exploited what came to be known as the Social Issue and constructed "Liberalism" as effeminate, impractical, and elitist. Chapter One charts the rise of conservative populism and Middle America against the backdrop of 1960s social upheaval. I stress the importance of backlash and resentment to Richard Nixon's ascendancy to the Presidency, describe strategies employed by the conservative movement to win majority status for the GOP, and explore the conflict between this goal and the will to ideological purity. In Chapter Two I read Rabbit Redux as John Updike's attempt to model the racial education of a conservative Middle American, Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, in "teach-in" scenes that reflect the conflict between the social conservative and Eastern Liberal within the author's psyche. I conclude that this conflict undermines the project and, despite laudable intentions, Updike perpetuates caricatures of the Left and hastens Middle America's rejection of Liberalism.

    http://www.ucalgary.ca/hic • ISSN 1492-7810 2010/11 • Vol. 9, No. 1 Whittaker Chambers: The Lonely Voice of Tragedy on the Postwar Right Hyrum Lewis Abstract In historical discourse, Whittaker Chambers has too easily been lumped in with other midcentury conservative anti- communists. While those on the right have held him up as a hero in the American struggle for victory against “godless communism” and those on the left see him as exemplary of the excesses and damaging overzealousness of the early Cold War, Chambers defies such simplistic categorization. His subtle, nuanced thought differed considerably from that of other conservative intellectuals of the time and drew from sources outside the standard conservative canon. Thus, this despairing existentialist became an inspiration and a model for the America Right even as he differed with those he inspired on philosophical essentials. Historians commonly remember Whittaker Chambers as the central witness in one of the most important spy cases of the twentieth century and as one of the founders and icons of conservative anti-communism. Born in 1901 and raised in a middle-class Long Island home, Chambers went off to Columbia University as a young man, but then dropped out to join the communist underground. In the late 1930s, disillusioned by Stalin’s purges and the Nazi-Soviet pact, Chambers defected from communism, underwent a religious conversion, moved to a Maryland farm, and took a job as a book reviewer, foreign affairs columnist, and senior editor at Time magazine where he became one of the leading anti-communist journalists in America.

  • Las Subversivas -Revolucionarias En Los Tiempos Del Movimiento Obrero Clásico
    Las subversivas Revolucionarias en los tiempos del movimiento obrero clásico por Pepe Gutiérrez-Álvarez lL Biblioteca Virtual OMEGALFA STE libro fue producto de una recopilación de diversos trabajos aparecidos en revistas como Historia 16, Historia E y Vida y Tiempo de Historia, y apareció en la editorial Hacer, Barcelona, 1986, en la que el autor había publicado otras cosas como el primer volumen del Diccionario bibliográfico del socialismo, y había contribuido a la edición de diversos clásicos socialistas. Su título escogido era Mujeres contra la historia, que to- maba una frase de Nietszche, pero fue retocado como Mujeres socialistas, como producto de la adhesión organizativa del editor, Josep Ricou, antiguo militante de Acción Comunista, grupo que estaba en el origen de la propia editorial. Este cambio fue acom- pañado de la idea de colocar un prólogo, en un principio de Mª Aurelia Capmany, pero como no pudo ser de ésta, Ricou hecho mano a una diputada del PSC-PSOE, Rosa Barenys, pero después de una primera lectura me negué a aceptarlo, y finalmente apare- ció con una nota mía que culminaba con una dedicatoria a Eli- zanda Illamola, una amiga y militante de la LCR que se había sui- cidado poco antes. Sin embargo, ni tan siquiera esta dedicatoria fue suficiente para que el sector femenino de esta organización prestara atención a un libro “escrito por un tío”. Para sorpresa de Antonia Rodrigo y de un servidor, en el día de la presentación de la edición en Leviatán, solamente estaba presente Montserrat Cervera. El libro llevó el camino errático propio de una editorial militante sin militancia.

  • 15 Little Cesar by Ralph De Toledano 1971.Pdf
    Little Cesar Ralph de Toledano 1971 Foreword by United States Senator Paul J. Fannin There is much in this book to worry Americans. But what is most significant to me is the light it casts on the forgotten people of the “great grape strike” and the boycott which brought success to Cesar Chavez, the United Farm Workers’ Organizing Committee, and the AFL-CIO. Those forgotten people were the men and women who actually pick the grapes in the San Joaquin Valley. They bitterly opposed—and still do—the efforts of the Chavez group to force them into the straightjacket of a compulsory union—and one which has reverted to the closed shop practices which were declared illegal by the Congress in 1974. Most grape pickers of Delano knew that the Chavez “union” wouldreduce the size of their paychecks and deprive them of the freedom of action they had always enjoyed—and their fears proved to be true. The workers felt no sympathy for the revolutionary doctrines, espoused by Chavez and his handful of followers, which they tied to their unsupported demands for collective bargaining. But the forgotten people wee crushed by the machine. With almost unlimited funds from the great labor aggregations at his disposal, and the massive assistance of an unquestioning mass media, Cesar Chavez was able to deprive the grape pickers of their rights under the First Amendment of the Constitution. In this tragic process, the UFWOC and the AFL-CIO were the upper millstone. The grape growers of Delano were the nether millstone. Compelled by the threat of bankruptcy to sign contracts with Chavez, the growers agreed to arrangements which sold the grape workers into the indenture of a closed shop—with no other choice but go hungry.
