-- Alice Stone Blackwell." Blackwell was the daughter of women's movement leader Lucy Stone & was active in left causes of the early 20th century, such as the National Council for the Protection of the Foreign Born (executive committee), American Friends of Russian Freedom, the National Mooney-Billings Committee, the League of Women Voters (honorary president of the Massachusetts branch), the Mary Ware Dennett Defence Committee, the International Labor Defense (national committee), the Massachusetts ACLU, etc. http://www.antiqbook.com/danwymanbooks/cat7.html
I'M DRIVING ED Abbey's Cadillac to Denver. It has moldered away in a dirt alley off Tucson's venerable main drag, & now it's going to reside in a pricey Republican enclave on the compromised high plains outside the mile-high city. Of course, if I told you which 'burb it was, I'd have to kill you.
A fire-engine red '75 Eldorado, it's been parked for a year behind Ed's pal Buffalo Medicine's house, accumulating a thick coat of dust & a calligraphy of cat and raccoon tracks across its massive hood. The cables have fallen loose in the engine compartment, the generator's shot, weeds have choked the wheels, & the ragtop's in sad shape. Local writers cruise by occasionally, tip their gimme caps, raise a can of Coors, & drive away. Their wheels churn up the alley dirt, adding another layer of dust to the Caddie. Just like Ed's memory.
Buffalo Medicine has possibly rooked El Piloto, a devotee of the Abbeyite Order, by selling him the car for money which might or might not be too much. Opinions vary. It all depends on where you're positioned in the continuing Ed debate. In Tucson, the debate is quite personal, since locals trade Ed sightings like baseball cards.
Ed Abbey--Sasquatch.
ALONG WITH THE Ed sightings, we are confronted with the most peculiar facet of the Dead-Ed Industry, the I-Was-Ed-Abbey's-Best-Friend Industry. Outside of Tucson, it's moderated a bit by distance into the I-Was-Ed-Abbey's-Biggest-Fan Industry. Shady dudes who may have tipped back a Dos Equis with Ed at a barbecue will now offer you insights into his soul, & a few of these Best Friends will offer to take Biggest Fans to Ed's "secret" gravesite where more Dos Equis can be consumed. Of course, east-coast tenderfoots could be led to my backyard & told the mulch pile is Ed's grave, & they'd go home happy. I wonder how many people have stared at a thoroughly empty pile of dirt in Saguaro National Monument & said perfectly lovely things--into thin air. Nobody seems to find this behavior creepy.
It is a telling measure of the man, & all he accomplished, that so many are willing to define themselves by proximity--real or imagined--to his being.
How much would you pay for a piece of Ed Abbey? We are in a dicey period here, where shit-heads Ed wouldn't have spit on are burning to buy his books & seven Earth First! T-shirts & claim to be his soul-mates. But El Piloto, possibly as thorny & ultimately as sentimental a man as Ed, has bought the car for Love. I wonder what he'll do when the Dead-Ed industry washes a bibliophile to his door with a limp check for $28,000, dying to drive a piece of the myth.
What can I say? I stole Ed's pencil out of the car & am hiding it in my office. That's a writer for you: happy hypocrite.
One thing's for sure: Rudolfo A. Anaya won't be offering anybody money for Ed's chariot. When he heard El Piloto & I were motoring cross-country with it, he put a curse on us. My cherished friend, Mr. Bless Me, Ultima, said: "I hope you have four flat tires in the desert. I hope the car catches fire. I hope it burns to the ground."
Way to go, Ed! Making friends.
BUT I TOO am mad at Ed. I don't know why anybody else is mad at him, & plenty of people are--which, of course, in the post-Abbeyan universe, is all the more reason to love Ed. That's part of the seductiveness of Edward Abbey, isn't it? The world's full of bastards, & Ed will cuss them out for us, tilt at them with his sharpened war lance, be inspected by the FBI, & occasionally blow up a bridge or sodomize a tractor into submission, all the while throwing cleverly hidden poems into his paragraphs and, for no extra charge, making us laugh.
We, in turn, get to feel like we've done battle with wicked forces while hiding behind a dead man. We feel like Ed's pals. Ed speaks for us, we compliment ourselves by thinking. We say Ed is our voice, expressing our deep feelings, after Ed himself often set the agenda we now claim for our own in one of his books that we bought out of a "used" box for $1.45.
Chicano readers, too, could be seduced. Like many people with a cause, we can be essentially pathetic, eager to side with anybody who sounds halfway sympathetic. Our weariness with the struggle, our exhaustion, is what makes us vulnerable. Our exhaustion makes us latch on to a strong voice for justice. & Ed, with his championing of lizards & watersheds, seemed to be championing us, too. Ed made some of us hope. & we fell over like puppies, wagging & peeing at his feet.
This is proof enough for me that Ed was a great writer. He angers the effete, & he utterly seduces his readers into absorbing his pith as if we were amoebas. And, sometimes, he hurts us.
EDWARD ABBEY ONCE stuck a knife in my heart.
I didn't know him outside of his books, & although I ponder swiping the car now & then, I'm not going to claim any special connection to the man. Or the ghost. Connecting with the books was quite enough. Desert Solitaire, The Monkey Wrench Gang, Black Sun, The Journey Home all had a massive, perhaps catastrophic, effect on me. I went mad for Ed, but more important, & a major reason others fell in love with him too, was the aching love he ignited in me for the land. The world. The tierra.
Ed Abbey--shaman.
In his "A Writer's Credo" (same book), the very first sentence says: "It is my belief that the writer...should be & must be a critic of the society in which he lives." Not a word about fame, love, beauty, or literary awards. Ed Abbey, by his own words, saw himself as a critic, a gadfly. In McGuane's words, "The original fly in the ointment." & nobody was spared. After all, One Life at a Time, Please contains his even more infamous assault on "The Cowboy & his Cow."
-- Alfred Kreymborg(krm´bôrg) (KEY), 1883–1966, American poet & anthologist, b. New York City. Originally one of the imagists, he wrote poems collected in Mushrooms (1916), Manhattan Men (1929), Selected Poems (1945), & Man & Shadow (1946). He chronicled American poetry in such works as the critical history Our Singing Strength (1929, 1934) & the anthology Lyric America (1930). His puppet plays were also popular.

Moving between Greenwich Village & her hometown of Portage, Wisconsin, Latimer recorded her vision of the modernist milieu & of small-town America; both are depicted—ironically, tenderly, savagely—in her groundbreaking work.

Located East of Osoyoos on Hwy. 3. From here, you can see the Okanagan Valley, as well as part of Washington State. A short trip
by car takes you from 910 feet to 4045 feet. A must see for all Visitors!
Anarchist Mountain is named for a mysterious anarchist said to be either a renegade rancher or a lonely hermit with radical ideas. While coming down Anarchist mountain, the view of Osoyoos Lake was beautiful. DAY 7 Rossland - Manning Park (400 km). Follow the old trade route, the Dewdney Trail, to Manning Park. A steep descent down Anarchist Mountain brings you to Osoyoos, the warmest spot in Canada.
Site Name: Anarchist Elevation Launch 4200"asl LZ 910'asl Direction of Launch: SW Location: Osoyoos BC at the summit of the hill heading East out of town. Region 2 Okanagan Valley in South Central British Columbia, Canada.
HPAC Requirements: Student, Intermediate, Advanced.
Other Information: Great paragliding site. Great Scenery. House Thermal is to the left of launch in the bowl near
to the vehicle parking area....or work back right to the North face. Red Rock often does not work. Not a wise idea
to fly over the USA Border without following protocol.
Vehicle Requirements:Any vehicle rugged 2WD.
Launch & Landing Area Maps are available in the printed version of the Site Guide which maybe obtained from
fwilson@junction.net
There's an "Anarchist Mountain," named for an anarchist bureaucrat.

For a memorable stay with a difference try the Observatory Bed & Breakfast on Anarchist Mountain, just east of Osoyoos.
Hosts, Jack & Alice Newton own an astronomy-theme B&B & their three
rooms reflect this style—choose the Moon Room, the Saturn Suite or the
galaxy-sized Eclipse Suite. All suites are self-contained with a level entrance
& two have full kitchens.
Alice says they wanted to prove tourism doesn’t stop at 6 p.m., & states their
16-inch telescope housed in the rooftop observatory shows the area can be just
as exciting after dark.
"Kids are blown away to see spiral arms in a galaxy & when they view the
rings of Saturn they are hooked," she commented, adding she notices just as
much delight on the faces of adults too.
Guests can also enjoy an in-home theatre with surround sound & a
well-stocked video library, or they can arrange for expert instruction in
astronomy, with Jack.
Sample some of the nearby attractions such as golfing, wine tasting, swimming,
gold panning & touring the Osoyoos Desert Centre too.
Their season runs from May 10 to October 15. No children under age five and
no pets. Phone 1-250-495-6745, e-mail jack@jacknewton.com or check their

From:
Camy Matthay
Peter Kropotkin (1842-1921) was a revolutionary before leaving his native Russia, but it was in the Jura mountains of
western Switzerland, present-day home to Fourmilab, that he developed his philosophy of anarchism. In his Memoirs, he
wrote, ". . .when I came away from the mountains after a week's stay with the watchmakers, my views upon socialism were
settled. I was an anarchist." His 1887 pamphlet, Anarchist Communism, is one of the clearest expositions of Kropotkin's
view that anarchism cannot seek solely to do away with government, but must also abolish property & privilege. In
Anarchist Morality, published in 1897, he treats morality as a characteristic of all living beings & argues that anarchism,
oft condemned as immoral, is in fact entirely consistent with this innate morality.

"No hay país donde el anarquismo haya tenido tanta influencia en la literatura como en la Argentina, si exceptuamos un cierto período en Francia... Se puede decir que la gran mayoría de los jóvenes escritores en la Argentina se han ensayado dede 1900... como simpatizantes del anarquismo, como colaboradores de la prensa anarquista y algunos como militantes..."25
Although this seems somewhat exaggerated to me, it does contain an indication of the force of anarchism's influence on young bohemian circles in Buenos Aires at the beginning of the century. One of the most notable intellectuals active in anarchist circles at the time was the playwright & poet Alberto Ghiraldo. He was at first close to the young people who formed Ruben Darío's coterie at the end of the l9th century & joined anarchist circles in 1900, when he took up editing the anarchist literary magazines Martín Fierro & El Sol; from 1904, he was editor of La Protesta.
Another example was the Uruguayan Florencio Sánchez, a leading playwright in the early years of the century who wrote M'hijo el dotor, a play that gave full expression to the reality of life of the lower classes in Buenos Aires.
There was also Félix Basterra, who wrote El crepúsculo de los gauchos, as well as Armando Discépolo, González Pacheco, José de Maturana & Alejandro Sux.
It should be noted that they all had dual loyalties: on the one hand, to the anarchist circles in whose publications they wrote & at whose social gatherings their plays were presented & their poetry read, while on the other, they carefully preserved their links to the external literary world in which their works were published & which constituted both their market & the source of the literary criticism that determined their status. At the same time, however, this dual loyalty opened gaps between the intellectuals & the anarchist activists, & created tension between the two groups.
Most of the latter were autodidacts, who had acquired their education as they worked -so they may be termed "semi-intellectuals"-, & later applied it to their newspaper writing & propaganda efforts. The tensions continued throughout this period & culminated in the second decade of the century with the majority of the bohemian intellectuals leaving the anarchist ranks.26

Harry Cleaver
Anarchist Studies 2(1994): 119-35
The collapse of the socialist states & the ongoing crisis of Western capitalism Ð both brought on by pervasive grassroots opposition Ð demands a reconsideration of the issue of the transcendence of contemporary society by anarchists & Marxists of all stripes. Such a reconsideration should include a reexamination of the thinking of earlier revolutionaries as well as of their experiences within past social upheavals.

25 -- RUSSELL BLACKWELL; notes for a page
Mary Low recuerda con vivacidad y emoción a numerosos amigos y conocidos en España durante la guerra: al amigo y poeta surrealista francés Benjamin Péret y su compañera Remedios, a su amiga Olga Loeillet, médico judía de nacionalidad polaca, al canadiense Krhem, siempre vestido con una elegancia exquisita, al norteamericano “Rosalio Negrete”, y por supuesto a la pareja Orr, con quienes colaboró en Spanish Revolution, financiado con los fondos recogidos en Inglaterra por John McNair y Bob Smilie. http://www.inisoc.org/marylow.htm
No existen pruebas de que la crítica de Rebull al comité ejecutivo del POUM deba buscarse en la influencia ideológica de Oehler y Negrete, o bien de Chazé/Davoust. EL POUM era resultado de la fusión de dos partidos en setiembre de 1935: el BOC de Maurín y la Izquierda Comunista de España de Nin. Josep Rebull había militado en el BOC, era un maurinista convencido, que criticaba en Nin lo que a sus ojos era la usurpación por parte de la Izquierda Comunista de España de la dirección del POUM. No era el primer caso de militantes del BOC más radicalizados e izquierdistas que los de la antigua ICE. Josep Rebull era el único contacto de Oehler y Negrete, y también de Chazé en el POUM. Eran ellos los que necesitaban creer en la influencia de Rebull en el POUM, eran ellos (al igual que Chazé-Davoust en Francia) los que publicaban en los boletines ingleses y franceses los artículos de Josep Rebull, eran ellos los que SE ILUSIONABAN en las "enormes posibilidades" que tenía la izquierda del POUM para enderezar al partido por la senda revolucionaria. Las críticas de Rebull a Nin están más influenciadas por su maurinismo que por las ideas de Oehler, Negrete o Chazé. [1]Citemos por ejemplo a: Chazé, líder de Union Communiste, que publicaba en Francia L'Internationale; Rosalio Negrete, del Revolutionary Workers League; el propio Trotsky, y el Secretariado Internacional, pese a los informes realistas y ponderados de Munis sobre la célula 72. http://es.geocities.com/hbalance2000/pagina_n14.htm
The (second) Libertarian League was founded in New York City in 1954 as a political organisation building on the Libertarian Book Club. Members included Sam Dolgoff, Russell Blackwell, Dave Van Ronk & Murray Bookchin. This league had a narrower political focus than the first, promoting anarchism & syndicalism. Its central principle, stated in its journal Views & Comments, was "equal freedom for all in a free socialist society". Branches of the League opened in a number of other American cities, including Detroit & San Fransisco, but it lacked an organisational focus & never managed to establish a presence amongst other anarchist & syndicalist organisations. It was dissolved at the end of the 1960s.
Hugo Oehler was a member of the United States Trotskyists in the thirties & a leader along with Tom Stamm of the split which took place in that organisation, 1935, against the French Turn, or the entry tactic in the parties of the Second International. They were for the independence of the revolutionary organisation. He along with approximately one third of the Workers Party broke away to form the Revolutionary Workers League. It was as representative of this organisation that Oehler & his comrade Russell Blackwell, whose pen-name was Rosalio Negrete, went to Spain. Blackwell is important in this connection as he was a Spanish speaker & handled for several months before going to Spain the correspondence with & the publication of the documents of the left wing of the POUM.
Blackwell’s mode of getting there is of some interest. Refused a passport valid for travel in Spain by the US State Department, because of his record as a revolutionary – Blackwell had been national secretary of the Young Communist League in Mexico & was deported from Honduras in 1925 & Mexico in 1927. for his activities – he stowed away on a French ship bound for France, & when it was discovered he spoke only Spanish, he was deported to Spain on arriving in France.
Both he & Oehler played an active part in the May events. Blackwell was wounded slightly.
After the collapse of the uprising Blackwell went into hiding. Oehler, on attempting to leave Spain, was arrested, held incommunicado for a month & charged with ‘spying’. After protests he was released & allowed to return to the United States.
Ten months after going into hiding Blackwell was arrested. Following protests he was released & put on board a British vessel bound for Marseilles. Before it sailed he was taken off by the Stalinist secret police, kept for over two months in a dungeon & tortured. After more protests from the movement, he was tried for High Treason, found not guilty & returned to the United States.

In New York City, July 1954 Russell Blackwell, Esther & Sam Dolgoff formed the Libertarian League, of which for a short time Murray Bookchin was a member. Erlier, in 1949, Gregory P. Maximoff [G.P. Maximoff; Maximov] initiated the Libertarian Book Club just before he died in 1950.
...
formed in July 1954 called the Libertarian League, started by Russell Blackwell, & the other formed in 1949
and called the Libertarian Book Club, an idea initiated by Gregory P. Maximoff, & formerly established by a number of
anarchists, including: Bill & Sarah Taback, Joseph & Hannah Spivack, Joseph Aaronstam, Ida Pilot (a professional
translator) & her companion Valerio Isca, & Esther & Sam Dolgoff. The Libertarian League of the 1920' was a
simmilarly socialistic organization, but no longer existed. The Libertarian Book Club is based in New York City, & is
still active today.

...Russell Blackwell was twice released from the Spanish police through the intervention of the US authorities. This though 'technically' correct is not entirely true. It was easier for a US or British citizen to obtain release from Spanish jails at that time. If you were a left winger from Fascist or Stalinist territory you had little chance of escape. (Blackwell pointed this out at his first meeting after arriving back in New York). Nevertheless it was necessary to form a Defence Committee & conduct a wide campaign in order to get Blackwell out of the Spanish jail. It was precisely this ability of the left in the USA & Britain to campaign on behalf of the victims that made the Republican Government more responsive to protest.
The Negrete-Blackwell Defence Committee, set up in New York, was composed of members of the Revolutionary Workers League, Socialist Workers Party (Trotskyists), Independent Labor League (Lovestoneites), Social Democratic Federation, Challenge (Anarchists), Canadian League for a Revolutionary Workers Party, & other groups & individuals. Meetings & picketing of the State Department & the Spanish Embassy were carried out. A report states:
'....Olay, representative of the CNT in the US, received a letter ... from Secretary Inigo of the Juridico Social section of the CNT in Barcelona, saying they have made an investigation into Blackwell's case at Olay's request & have been informed by the Military Investigation Service (controlled by the Stalinists) that Blackwell is a Trotskyist, author of Trotskyist books, former secretary to Trotsky & a spy sent to Spain by the American authorities, & they are suspending further efforts on Blackwell's behalf pending assurances that these things are not so. Olay & Carlo Tresca promptly cabled the CNT denying the charges.'
Trotsky wrote to the American & Spanish Consulates in Mexico City, denying that Blackwell was connected with him & added: 'I do not know whether the other accusations against Mr Blackwell are of the same kind'.
Norman Thomas, John Dewey, John Dos Passos & other wired the US State Department urging efforts to secure Blackwell's safe release.
In the light of all this to say that the US authorities secured Blackwell's release is hardly a fair summary, & must appear somewhat churlish to those of that time, who exerted themselves on his behalf.

18 Ottobre. Il un articolo sull'Avanti intitolato "Dalla neutralità assoluta alla neutralità attiva e operante", il socialista Benito Mussolini modifica, cioè capovolge, la sua precedente posizione contro la guerra e parla di terre irredente da riconquistare. Nel comportamento di Mussolini si può vedere, in maniera ancor più chiara che in Crispi o Giolitti, come il trasformismo sia l'essenza e la costante di base degli uomini politici e quindi dello statismo.
9 Dicembre. Il ministro degli esteri Sidney Sonnino, a seguito della occupazione di Belgrado da parte delle truppe austroungariche, ha la
spudoratezza di chiedere garanzie circa i compensi previsti per l'Italia dal far parte della Triplice Alleanza (Austria, Germania, Italia) mentre si sta vendendo alla Triplice Intesa (Francia, Inghilterra, Russia). Lo stato italiano, come una puttana, cerca di offrirsi a chi è disposto a pagare il prezzo più alto. Un mercato squallido e sordido.
25 Dicembre. L'esercito italiano occupa Valona (Albania) con la giustificazione, pretestuosa e ridicola, che altrimenti sarebbe stata occupata da altre potenze.
1915 13 GENNAIO / JANUARY . Un terremoto distrugge Avezzano (Aquila). Le operazioni di soccorso da parte dei corpi dello stato mostreranno incredibili disservizi e ritardi.
7 Luglio. L'offensiva sull'Isonzo si conclude con gravi perdite senza raggiungere obiettivi significativi.
4 Dicembre. I deputati (i cosiddetti rappresentanti del popolo) approvano la politica estera del governo (vale a dire la guerra) con 406 voti favorevoli e solo 48 contrari.
1917
18 Agosto. L'occupazione del monte Santo e di una parte dell'Altopiano della Bainsizza avviene attraverso perdite elevatissime, circa 165.000 uomini tra morti e feriti.
Ottobre. 24 Ottobre. La disfatta di Caporetto. Il fronte italiano crolla a Caporetto e l'esercito austro-tedesco avanza di circa 150 chilometri creando la confusione e il panico. Il bilancio per l'esercito italiano è di 11.000 morti, 29.000 feriti, 280.000 prigionieri, oltre la perdita ingente di materiali. I soldati in fuga verso la pianura padana sono circa 350.000 e i profughi civili 400.000.
28 Ottobre. Gli austro-tedeschi entrano a Udine che era la sede del quartiere generale dell'esercito italiano.
5 - 6 Novembre. Al convegno di Rapallo, i governi francese e inglese chiedono la sostituzione del generale Luigi Cadorna, il massimo repsonsabile della tragedia di Caporetto. In caso negativo si rifiuteranno di impiegare le loro truppe sul fronte italiano.
9 Novembre. Il generale Armando Diaz sostituisce Luigi Cadorna come comandante supremo dell'esercito.
1918
Ottobre. Sui fronti europei (tranne che sul fronte italiano) si delinea la sconfitta dell'Austria e della Germania. Il 6 - 7 0ttobre i governi di questi paesi chiedono l'armistizio al presidente degli Stati Uniti Woodrow Wilson.
1919-1922 La decomposizione dello stato cosiddetto liberale : i mentecatti al potere
[^] [Polyarchy] [Basta!] [Indice : crimini e misfatti] OCTOBER 2 Ottobre. A palazzo Vidoni la Confindustria e la Confederazione delle corporazioni fasciste si riconoscono reciprocamente come i rappresentanti esclusivi degli industraili e dei lavoratori. Vengono abolite le commissioni interne di fabbrica. Il patto di palazzo Vidoni sancisce il monopolio sindacale fascista.
OCTOBER 3 Ottobre. I fascisti toscani sono protagonisti di violenze e aggressioni contro singoli individui e sedi di associazioni.
OCTOBER 8 Ottobre. Il podestà, di nomina prefettizia, sostituisce il sindaco eletto dai cittadini del Comune. Vengono inoltre estesi i poteri del prefetto. La legge entrerà in vigore nel febbraio / FEBRUARY del 1926.
OCTOBER 19 Ottobre. L'esercito italiano completa l'occupazione della Somalia. Crimini e Misfatti dello stato italiano dalle origini ai giorni nostri
1929-1934
Lo stato fascista : dittatura e consenso ovvero la democrazia totalitaria
1929
23 Giugno. Dibattito al senato sui Patti Lateranensi. Benedetto Croce critica gli accordi e ribadisce la tesi liberale della netta separazione tra stato e chiesa. Nella sua replica Mussolini definisce Croce "un imboscato della storia".
1930
10 Aprile. Viene fondata a Milano la scuola di mistica fascista.
30 Ottobre. I dirigenti milanesi di Giustizia e Libertà sono arrestati a seguito della denuncia di un infiltrato. Il regime può contare su parecchie spie e delatori.
24 Novembre. Il commissario del popolo per gli affari esteri dell'URSS e il ministro italiano degli esteri si incontrano a Milano a conclusione di una serie di relazioni amichevoli sviluppate durante i mesi precedenti, tra cui la firma, in Agosto, di un accordo commerciale tra i due stati. Fascismo e bolscevismo si intendono alla perfezione in quanto si assomigliano alla perfezione.
Scoppiano disordini a Torino a causa della difficile situazione
economica. La polizia opera rastrellamenti e 'rimpatria' tutti i
disoccupati da altri comuni, l'equivalente, in epoca attuale, del
rimpatrio dei cosiddetti extracomunitari a seguito di atti di protesta.
Cambia il nome dei regimi ma la sostanza (la dittatura dello stato) non
cambia.
28 Novembre. I dirigenti comunisti Manlio Rossi Doria ed Emilio Sereni vengono arrestati a Napoli. Saranno condannati dal tribunale speciale a 15 anni.
Vengono arrestati Mario Vinciguerra e Renzo Rendi, esponenti di Alleanza Nazionale, una organizzazione di ispirazione
liberal-conservatrice. Saranno condannati dal tribunale speciale a 15 anni di prigione. La repressione da parte dello stato colpisce tutti gli oppositori, senza distinzioni di sorta.
1931
Marzo. Nonostante l'aver imposto una riduzione del 12% ai salari degli statali (Dicembre 1930), il bilancio dello stato è di nuovo in passivo. Il governo emette allora 4 miliardi di buoni del tesoro. E' evidente che la corretta amministrazione non rientra tra le capacità degli stati, neanche di quelli che dispongono di tutte le leve del potere.
29 Maggio. Viene eseguita la condanna a morte da parte del tribunale speciale di un anarchico sardo Michele Schirru, colpevole solo dell'intenzione, mai concretamente posta in essere, di compiere un attentato contro Mussolini. Anche i pensieri diventano oggetto di spietata repressione.
1932
25 Ottobre. In un discorso trionfalistico a Milano, Mussolini afferma : "Il secolo ventesimo sarà il secolo del fascismo".
29 Novembre. Si prepara l'aggressione all'Etiopia basandosi sulla "Memoria per una azione offensiva contro l'Etiopia" elaborata dal
comandante militare in Eritrea, Luigi Cubeddu.
1933
23 GENNAIO / JANUARY . Il governo istituisce l'IRI (Istituto per la Ricostruzione Industriale) espandendo il ruolo di controllo dell'economia da parte dello stato. L'IRI giungerà ad avere oltre il 21% del capitale azionario di tutte le società per azioni italiane.
MARZO / MARCH . Vengono costituiti l'INFAIL (Istituto nazionale fascista assicurazione infortuni sul lavoro) e l'INFPS (Istituto nazionale fascista della previdenza sociale). Alla caduta del fascismo questi istituti faranno cadere la F e continueranno la stessa politica di paternalismo statalista.
not done; determine if worthwhile 27 Maggio. Il possesso della tessera del partito nazionale fascista diventa requisito indispensabile per l'ammissione ai concorsi statali. Dopo la caduta del regime questa regola rimarrà sostanzialmente in vigore, sostituita soltanto dalla tacita intesa del possesso di altre tessere di partito.
1934
3 Novembre. Viene costituita l'Organizzazione nazionale dei figli della lupa che inquadra i bambini dai 6 agli 8 anni di età.
5 Novembre. La settimana lavorativa è ridotta a 40 ore per combattere la disoccupazione. Oltre 60 anni dopo il governo socialista francese proporrà-imporrà la stessa misura (riduzione della settimana lavorativa a 35 ore) con le stesse motivazioni. Non bisogna certo dimenticare la comune origine culturale e programmatica del socialismo e del fascismo, essendo il fascismo una delle due correnti prodotte dalle scissioni del movimento socialista (l'altra è il comunismo).
7 Novembre. Viene ordinato agli insegnanti delle scuole elementari, ai direttori didattici e agli ispettori scolastici, di indossare la divisa di ufficiale della milizia.
5 Dicembre. A Ual Ual (confine tra Etiopia e Somalia) si verificano scontri tra soldati indigeni arruolati nell'esercito italiano e truppe dell'esercito etiopico. Vi sono 100 morti tra gli etiopi e 20 tra i soldati dell'esercito italiano. Sarà il pretesto per l'aggressione all'Etiopia da parte dello stato italiano .
1935-1938 Imperialismo, sciovinismo, razzismo : stato e masse tra tragedia e farsa
[^] [Polyarchy] [Basta!] [Indice : crimini e misfatti]
October 19-November 14 1935
Jacob Abrams & others had been convicted of distributing pamphlets criticizing the Wilson administration for sending troops to Russia in the summer of 1918. Although the government could not prove that the pamphlets had actually hindered the operation of the military, an
anti-radical lower court judge had found that they might have done so, & found Abrams & his co-defendants guilty. On appeal, seven members of the Supreme Court had used Holmes's "clear & present danger" test to sustain the conviction. But Holmes, joined by Louis D.
Brandeis, dissented, & it is this dissent that is widely recognized as the starting point in modern judicial concern for free expression.
http://civnet.org/resoures/teach/basic/part7/43.htm Crimini e Misfatti dello stato italiano dalle origini ai giorni nostri
1939
Febbraio. Vengono ritirati dal commercio i libri di autori ebrei e antifascisti, nell'ambito della cosiddetta "bonifica culturale".
Ottobre. Viene varata una imposta ordinaria sui patrimoni per rastrellare risorse in vista delle prossime avventure militari.

Where Have All the Songwriters Gone? By Bob Hulteen
Music has many functions, worship included. But one of its primary roles is its ability to move people. It’s not surprising that many of the great social movements of this century have included memorable songs—tunes with a beat & a message that drawfolks into a broader vision & a confidence to work for change.
Think enough & you won't know anything.

Herege Social – e-zine libertário
por Renato Ramos e Alexandre Samis (publicado na revista "Protesta !", n° 2, 2005) (Federação Anarquista do Rio de Janeiro-FARJ) Domingos Passos: O "Bakunin Brasileiro"
“Eram 5 horas quando me levantei. O Passos, acordado não sei desde que horas, estava sentado na cama, lendo o “Determinismo e Responsabilidade”, de Hamon. Tomei a toalha e desci, para banhar o rosto. Quando voltava do pateo, enxugando-me, vi dois individuos, que logo tomei pelo que realmente eram, de revolver em punho, dirigirem-se para mim, perguntando asperamente. Prevendo uma dessas violencias de que o nosso querido companheiro tem sido tantas vezes victima, senti forte desejo de escondel-o e neguei sua presença, dizendo:
Esse pequeno trecho do depoimento do operário Orlando Simoneck ao jornal A Pátria (1), tomado em 16 de março de 1923, expressa claramente alguns aspectos da situação então vivida por aquele rapaz mestiço, neto de avós índios (2), carpinteiro de profissão, anarquista e ativo sindicalista do ramo da construção civil: o “camarada Passos” era, já naquele ano, o alvo preferido da Polícia carioca e, se não o mais, um dos mais queridos e respeitados militantes operários do então Districto Federal. Outra característica notável de Domingos Passos, destacada no depoimento de Simoneck, era seu incansável autodidatismo, sua sede pela instrução e pela cultura, que o fazia varar as madrugadas devorando os livros da pequena biblioteca de Florentino de Carvalho, que morava naquela mesma casa da Rua Barão de São Félix, muito próxima da sede do seu sindicato. Domingos Passos era natural do Rio de Janeiro, tendo nascido, provavelmente, na última década do século XIX (3). Sua trajetória militante está em grande parte ligada à sua organização de classe, a União dos Operários em Construcção Civil (UOCC), fundada como União Geral da Construcção Civil (UGCC) em abril de 1917 (a UGCC havia sido, na verdade fundada em 1915, mas teve existência breve). Apenas 2 meses após a sua fundação, a UGCC já com mais de 500 filiados, conseguiu mobilizar mais de 20.000 trabalhadores para o sepultamento dos 13 operários mortos no desabamento do New York Hotel, que se transformou em uma grande manifestação contra a ganância patronal. No rastro da greve geral iniciada em São Paulo após o assassinato do jovem sapateiro Martinez, a UGCC e outras associações de resistência declararam, em 22 de julho de 1917, a extensão do movimento para o Rio de Janeiro, tendo como conseqüência imediata o fechamento de várias sedes sindicais pela Polícia até o início de setembro e a prisão de vários militantes (4). Outra conseqüência nefasta para a luta dos trabalhadores, foi o banimento da Federação Operária do Rio de Janeiro (FORJ), que só veio a ser substituída em 18 de janeiro de 1918 pela União Geral dos Trabalhadores (UGT). Em 26 de junho de 1918, a UGCC mudou sua denominação para UOCC. Em outubro desse ano, a epidemia de gripe espanhola causou a morte de mais de 12.000 pessoas no Rio de Janeiro e a fome assolou a população trabalhadora, principalmente nos cortiços do Centro e nos subúrbios. Criou-se então, a partir da UOCC, o Comitê de Combate a Fome, que a despeito de sua intenção e da tragédia vigente, teve várias de suas reuniões interrompidas pela polícia e quase todos os seus integrantes presos (5). Em 18 de novembro de 1918, a UOCC participou ativamente da tentativa de greve insurrecional, tendo sua sede novamente fechada durante a onda repressiva que se seguiu, desta vez por mais de 70 dias. Centenas de operários foram encarcerados e a UGT, com apenas 9 meses de vida, foi fechada por decreto federal. Em abril de 1919, após um ano e meio de disputas internas entre os sindicalista revolucionários (anarquistas) e a “facção conservadora” da UOCC (6), os primeiros elegeram uma nova comissão executiva e conseguiram que a organização voltasse a ser regida pelas Bases de Acordo originais (em DEZEMBRO / DECEMBER de 1917, um manobra dos conservadores havia “legalizado” um estatuto que previa os cargos de presidente e vice, e que nunca havia sido reconhecido pelos libertários). Em maio de 1919, a UOCC conquistou finalmente às 8 horas de trabalho diário para a categoria e, em julho, vários de seus membros participaram da fundação do novo organismo federativo, a Federação dos Trabalhadores do Rio de Janeiro (FTRJ). Nos meses de setembro e outubro de 1919, uma feroz repressão foi desencadeada contra as associações de resistência do Rio de Janeiro. No dia 10 de setembro, a sede da UOCC e de várias outras entidades de classe foram atacadas pela Polícia, tendo sido efetuadas dezenas de prisões. No dia seguinte, a FTRJ convocou uma manifestação de protesto contra a violência policial, que degenerou em um conflito com a Força Pública, resultando feridos em ambos os lados.
Foi durante esse duro período que registramos a primeira aparição “oficial” de Domingos Passos, quando este foi eleito, em 16 de outubro de 1919, o 2o Secretário da UOCC e, em DEZEMBRO / DECEMBER desse mesmo ano, 1o Secretário para o período de janeiro a julho de 1920 (7). Destacamos, no entanto, que o fato de Domingos Passos ter passado a ocupar tais cargos na organização em um momento tão difícil, indica que sua trajetória na UOCC vinha, no mínimo, de alguns meses antes.
Domingos Passos foi indicado, junto com José Teixeira (8), delegado da UOCC no 30 Congresso Operário Brasileiro (1920), quando foi eleito Secretário Excursionista da Confederação Operária Brasileira (COB) (9). Ao ser escolhido para tal cargo, Passos certamente já se destacava no campo do proletariado organizado por sua inteligência e oratória, cultivada no cotidiano de lutas de sua categoria. Segundo Pedro Catallo (10), Passos era “dono de uma oratória suave, envolvente e agressiva o mesmo tempo, multiplicava a afluência aos comícios, desejosa de ouvi-lo falar. Depois, raramente chegava ao seu domicílio porque a polícia cercava-o no caminho e levava-o para o xadrez, onde repousava de quinze a trinta dias por vez”. A repressão durante todo o governo Epitácio Pessoa foi brutal, com um sem número de deportações de militantes anarquistas, prisões, torturas e assassinatos, fechamentos de sindicatos e empastelamentos de jornais operários. Em outubro de 1920, a polícia dissolveu à bala uma passeata de trabalhadores na Avenida Rio Branco e, não satisfeita, novamente assaltou a sede da UOCC, ferindo 5 trabalhadores, prendendo 28 e, posteriormente, deportando 8 destes (11).
O movimento operário sentiu os golpes, e declinou a partir de 1921. Os sindicatos “amarelos” e “cooperativistas” se fortaleceram rapidamente, e passaram a disputar a hegemonia de diversas categorias com os sindicatos revolucionários. Entre os anarquistas, desmoronaram as esperanças na Revolução Russa, com a chegada das notícias sobre a repressão bolchevique, notadamente o massacre de Kronstadt, em março de 1921. Em 16 março de 1922, nove dias antes da fundação do Partido Comunista, a UOCC publicou o documento Refutando as afirmações mentirozas do Grupo Comunista, declarando sua incompatibilidade com os “comunistas de estado” (12). Este importante manifesto certamente teve a participação de Domingos Passos. Este, como outros militantes da Construção Civil foram, por toda a década de 1920, os oponentes mais ferrenhos e intransigentes da doutrina bolchevista, encarnando a consciência crítica e, em determinados aspectos, punitiva, dos quadros comunistas.
“Na Rússia, onde alguns membros do partido Communista, entronizados no poder, exercem a ditadura em nome do proletariado, estão sendo perseguidos, encarcerados e mortos todos os revolucionários da esquerda, mormente os combatentes anarquistas. Se é a obra de tal partido que os do Grupo Communista propagam e pretendem realizar, outra não pode ser a atitude da Construcção Civil, senão a de opozição à ditadura, e aos seus ditadores”.( 13) Em julho de 1922, no rastro do esmagamento da revolta dos tenentes do Forte Copacabana, a repressão fechou o jornal O Trabalho, órgão da UOCC, do qual Passos foi assíduo colaborador. Um novo bastião dos anarquistas na imprensa ficou a cargo de outro militante da Construção Civil, o carpinteiro e jornalista português José Marques da Costa, redator da Secção Trabalhista do jornal A Pátria.
Em 1923, continuamente perseguido pela polícia, Domingos Passos afastou-se da Comissão Executiva da UOCC e passou a se dedicar à propaganda e à organização federativa, tendo viajado duas vezes ao Estado do Paraná (14) para colaborar com sindicatos de resistência locais. Durante todo o primeiro semestre deste ano foi um dos principais articuladores da refundação da Federação Operária do Rio de Janeiro (FORJ), já que a FTRJ, sob o controle dos bolchevistas, agonizava e, cada vez mais, aproximava-se taticamente da Confederação Sindicalista Cooperativista Brasileira (CSCB), entidade que congregava desde sindicatos colaboracionistas até instituições reacionárias como a Liga de Defesa Nacional e o Centro Industrial do Brasil (15). Quando a FORJ reapareceu, em 19 de agosto de 1923, Passos foi eleito para o Comitê Federal (16). Assim como José Oiticica, Carlos Dias e Fábio Luz, Domingos Passos era freqüentemente convidado para conferências nas sedes sindicais. Também participava ativamente dos festivais operários, atuando nas peças teatrais organizadas pelo Grupo Renovação, declamando e palestrando sobre temas sociais. Certamente, foram esses festivais alguns dos poucos momentos de lazer que Passos usufruiu em sua vida de rapaz trabalhador e ativista sindical.
A FORJ, refundada por seis associações de classe (Construção Civil, Sapateiros, Tanoeiros, Carpinteiros Navais, Gastronômicos e o Sindicato de Ofícios Vários de Marechal Hermes), até meados de 1924 teve a adesão de mais cinco categorias importantes: Fundidores, Ladrilheiros, Ferradores, Metalúrgicos e Operários em Pedreiras. O sindicalismo revolucionário, a despeito da repressão estatal e das manobras bolchevistas, se fortalecia sob a orientação da FORJ, que organizava uma conferência intersindical e planejava para aquele ano o 4o Congresso Operário Brasileiro. “E é por isso, simplesmente por isso que dia a dia os trabalhadores vão abandonando os embusteiros, enveredando pelo caminho da organização operaria, não para fortalecer nenhum partido "socialista" ou burguez, e sim para fortalecerem a si mesmos, nos seus organismos de resistencia e de combate as explorações da sociedade actual.
Quando a organização operaria tiver attingido ao apogeu almejado, uma das suas principaes preocupações é a de atirar por terra não só o partido "socialista" (dito Communista) como todos os partidos. Não é de partidos que precizamos. Os partidos são cacos e os cacos só tem uma utilidade: a de encher as "garys" e ir aterrar a Sapucaia (17). Precizamos é de "inteiros" e estes só se conseguem com a "organização syndicalista revolucionaria", que une, que eleva, que constroe.” (18) Em julho de 1924, todo esse afã organizacional foi ceifado pela repressão que se seguiu à nova revolta dos tenentes, agora em São Paulo. As sedes sindicais foram invadidas e fechadas, centenas de anarquistas encarcerados e muitos deles deportados, entre estes Marques da Costa e Antônio Vaz. Domingos Passos foi um dos primeiros a serem presos e, após 20 dias de sofrimentos na Polícia Central (19), foi recolhido ao navio-prisão Campos, fundeado na Baía de Guanabara. Sua permanência por 3 meses na embarcação caracterizou-se por momentos de profunda privação e constrangimento. Transferido para o navio Comandante Vasconcellos (20), enfrentou mais 22 dias de suplícios junto a outras centenas de cativos (anarquistas, soldados e sub-oficiais sediciosos, ladrões, malandros, cáftens, imigrantes pobres e mendigos), inaugurando em DEZEMBRO / DECEMBER de 1924 (21) a fase prisional da Colônia Agrícola de Clevelândia, o “Inferno Verde” do Oiapoque, no atual Estado do Amapá. Após alguns meses nessa “Sibéria Tropical”, onde os maus tratos e as doenças dizimaram centenas de homens, Domingos Passos conseguiu fugir para Saint George, na Guiana Francesa. Entretanto, as febres adquiridas na selva o obrigaram à buscar medicamentos em Caiena, tendo sido acolhido fraternalmente por um créole, que o ajudou a recuperar as forças (22). Da Guiana, seguiu para Belém do Pará, onde permaneceu por algum tempo amparado pela solidariedade ativa do proletariado organizado daquela capital. Domingos Passos estava entre os que retornaram ao Distrito Federal após o estado de sítio imposto por quase todos os quatro anos do governo de Arthur Bernardes (1923/1926). Ao chegar ao Rio de Janeiro, no início de 1927, retornou ao ativismo sindical, mesmo sofrendo das seqüelas do impaludismo, contraído no Oiapoque. Nesse mesmo ano, mudou-se para São Paulo, onde atuou na reorganização da Federação Operária local (FOSP) e na articulação do Comitê de Agitação Pró-Liberdade de Sacco e Vanzetti (23), criado no início de 1926, tendo ainda participado do 4o Congresso Operário do Rio Grande do Sul, realizado em Porto Alegre.
Em agosto de 1927 foi preso durante um meeting pró-Sacco e Vanzetti no Largo do Brás, e levado à temida “Bastilha do Cambucí”, onde permaneceu por 40 dias sujeito à toda sorte de maus tratos. Solto, saiu de São Paulo em direção ao Sul do país, perseguido em todos os cantos, conseguindo chegar a Pelotas, onde foi preso e embarcado à força em um navio para Santos (24). Ao chegar nessa cidade, conseguiu fugir e voltar a São Paulo, vivendo oculto por algum tempo até que, em fevereiro de 1928, foi preso juntamente com o operário sapateiro Affonso Festa (25). Segundo Pedro Catallo (26), por ordem do delegado Hibraim Nobre, Passos foi deixado incomunicável por mais de três meses em um cubículo de 2 m2 da “Bastilha do Cambuci”, escuro e sem janelas, recebendo alimentação apenas uma vez por dia. Ao ser retirado da cela imunda, tinha o corpo coberto de feridas e vestia apenas trapos. Foi embarcado em um trem e enviado para morrer nas matas da região de Sengés, no interior ainda selvagem do Estado do Paraná. Algum tempo depois, conseguiu abrigo neste povoado e pôde escrever para os camaradas de São Paulo solicitando dinheiro, que foi-lhe levado em mãos por um emissário. Aí terminou a trajetória conhecida deste que foi um dos mais influentes e respeitados ativistas do anarquismo e do sindicalismo revolucionário de seu tempo. Nunca mais se teve qualquer notícia dele, apenas boatos esporádicos e nunca confirmados. Não foi à toa que Domingos Passos ganhou de seus contemporâneos a alcunha de “Bakunin Brasileiro”. Poucos como ele se entregaram de tal forma ao Ideal e sofreram tanto as conseqüências dessa dedicação à luta pela emancipação dos homens e mulheres. Durante apenas uma década, em grande parte passada nas prisões e nas selvas tropicais, Passos tornou-se a grande referência de militância libertária e social de seu tempo...e do nosso também! Nossos passos seguirão os seus, Passos!

farj@riseup.net Two main writers of "D.A." were the Swedish syndicalist Albert Jensen & Martin Tranmæl. Albert Jensen, at that time editor of "D.A.", was arrested in the autumn 1914, & deported to Sweden, but he continued to write for the paper. Albert Jensen in 1917-18 became more & more hostile to the "Soviet"-revolution in Russia, while Tranmæl & "Fagopposisjon" at that time were supporting the Leninists...
Anarchosyndicalism by Rudolf Rocker - Chapter 6: "In Sweden there has existed for a long time a very active Syndicalist movement, the Sveriges Arbetares Centralorganization, which is also affiliated with the I.W.M.A. This organisation numbers over 40,000 members, which constitutes a very high percentage of the Swedish labor movement. The internal organisation of the Swedish workers' movement is in very excellent condition. The movement has two daily papers one of them, Arbetaren, managed by Albert Jensen in Stockholm. It has its disposal a large number of distinguished propagandists, & has also inaugurated a very active Syndicalist Youth movement. The Swedish Syndicalists take a strong interest in all the workers' struggles in the country. When, on the occasion of the great strike of Adalen, the Swedish government for the first time sent militia against the workers, five men being shot down in the affray, & the Swedish workers replied with a general strike, the Syndicalists played a prominent part, & the government was at last compelled to make concessions to the protest movement of the workers....
In the first few years of the Bolshevik regime many anarchists & syndicalists saw "sovietism" as a kind of Russian internationalist direct action. Lenin actively courted the "Latin" anarchists, the west European syndicalists & the American syndicalists & industrial unionists. (49) But publication of the Twenty-One Points & ill-tempered negotiations between the Syndicalist International & the new Red International of Trade Unions ended the flirtation. Malatesta, for example, at first included the Bolsheviks in his Mondiale, but like many other anarchists rapidly became critical when he realised the full import of dictatorship & the State. (50) & the Comintern was also attacked as a tool of Russian foreign policy. Perhaps the Swedish syndicalist, Albert Jensen, was among the first, but he was quickly joined by leading figures in the Spanish CNT & in the early 1920s veteran French syndicalists, such as Alfred Rosmer & Pierre Monatte.

1936 -- A trade-union conference representing 600,000 workers was held in Barcelona in October 1936, with the object of
developing the socialization of industry. The initiative of the workers was institutionalized by a decree of the Catalan
government dated October 24, 1936. This ratified the fait accompli, but introduced an element of government control
alongside self-management. Two sectors were created, one socialist, the other private. All factories with more than a
hundred workers were to be socialized (and those with between fifty & a hundred could be, on the request of three-quarters
of the workers), as were those whose proprietors either had been declared "subversive" by a people's court or had stopped
production, & those whose importance justified taking them out of the private sector. (In fact many enterprises were
socialized because they were heavily in debt.)
The decree of October 24, 1936, was a compromise between aspirations to self-management & the tendency to tutelage by
the leftist government, as well as a compromise between capitalism & socialism. It was drafted by a libertarian minister,
and ratified by the CNT, because anarchist leaders were in the government. How could they object to the intervention of
government in self-management when they themselves had their hands on the levers of power? Once the wolf is allowed into
the sheepfold he always ends up by acting as its master. http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/1931/guerin/AnSpain.html

1981 -- In 1909 Renzo Provinciali (Parma, 14 mar.1895-Roma, 2 ott.1981) founded a Fascio Anticlericale 'Francesco Ferrer' in Parma & the following year established an 'independent' Futurist group in Parma arguing for an Anarcho-Futurism that was free from the influence of Marinetti's political thinking. Provinciali argued that a revolutionary art like Futurism could not survive in a bourgeois society whereas a revolutionary political organisation needed an avant-garde art & should lose traditional aesthetics.
Parma was the centre of the Anarcho-Syndicalist movement & Renzo Provinciali was a widely known anarchist who united the Parma Anarchists & Futurists in a Circolo Liberatorio di Studi Sociali. Between May 1912 & January 1913 the group produced seven
issues of the anarchist journal La barricata.
In his 20's Illari joined the Parma Socialist Party & worked on their paper L'idea. By about 1920 Pietro Illari was heading the Parma Futurist group that had been founded by the anarchist Renzo Provinciali. Illari steered the vision of the group from Anarcho-Futurism
closer towards the Left wing & actively involved the group with the Arditi del Popolo.
In 1922 he joined the Italian Communist party & worked on their journals L'ordine nuovo & Idea communistra becoming the Parma Party Secretary in a short space of time.
Illari had strong links with Marasco's Futurist group in Florence & was also in contact with the Anarcho-Futurists in La Spezia who were all militant anti-Fascists, very critical of Marinetti & violently opposed to the pro-Fascist element within Futurism headed by the
Mario Carli / Emilio Settimelli faction.
He was in contact with the Communist-Futurist Franco Rampa Rossi who collaborated on his periodical Rovente a journal that, while inherently Left wing & anti-Fascist, was also in violent opposition to the 'official' political line of mainstream Marinettian Futurism.
Suddenly, however, in June 1922 he quit the Communist party for unknown reasons but possibly because the Communist Central Committee forced him to choose between Communism & Futurism.
Illari, under no illusion that he could survive either artistically or politically under a Fascist government, emigrated to Argentina in 1924 where he taught children of Italian immigrants.

CAMPAIGN BOMBSHELL: ARNOLD PRAISED HITLER IN BOOK PROPOSAL
Am unearthed book proposal by Pumping Iron's director George Butler is set throw the California
recall race in to new levels of complete chaos.
The book proposal quotes Arnold Schwarzenegger naming monster Adolf Hitler as a hero!
MORE
ABC News, which broadcast the remarks on Thursday, said they were contained in an unpublished book
proposal with quotes from what it calls a "verbatim transcript" of the interview.
Asked about his heroes, the young Schwarzenegger, in 1975, was quoted as saying; "I admired
Hitler, for instance, because he came from being a little man with almost no formal education, up
to power.
"I admire him for being such a good public speaker & for what he did with it."
The actor was quoted as saying he wished he could experience being .."like Hitler in the Nuremberg
stadium & have all those people scream at you & just being total agreement whatever you say."
Asked by ABC News to comment on the old remarks, Schwarzenegger said: "I cannot remember any of
these. All I can tell you is that I despise everything Hitler stood for. I despise everything the
Nazis stood for ... everything the Third Reich stood for."
The author of the book proposal told ABCNEWS that the quotes needed to be seen in context of
Schwarzenegger's admiration of powerful men.
The book proposal contains other stunning passages, which ABCNEWS is preparing to reveal.

This video program consists of 30 interviews with survivors of the 1936-1939 Spanish
Revolution, plus the recorded voices of former dictator Miguel Primo de Rivera, of his son
José Antonio Primo de Rivera, founder of the "Falange" [the equivalent of the Fascist
Party of Italy & the Nazi Party of Germany]and that of a known anarchist militant, Juan
GarcÃa Oliver, who became the Minister of Justice of the Republic.
Miguel ALBA is a mason who narrates how circumstances led him to be elected as
Secretary of the Transportation Union in 1936 in Barcelona. This was one of the first
services organized by the CNT immediately after July 19, 1936.
Ramón ÃLVAREZ tells us about the hesitations between fighting the war & implanting
a federalist socialist society. He was on the Communist side & obeyed Stalin⤙s orders.
Federico ARCOS confirms that everything that happened was spontaneous. He points out
that who defeated the army was the people of Barcelona, under the leadership of the
CNT & reveals that Governor Companys, who usually had been credited with offering
power to anarchists when they became masters of the situation in Barcelona, actually
had ordered the chief of police to disarm the members of CNT*-FAI**. Arcos concludes
the film with a quote from Emma Goldman "To the daring belongs the future".
Marcelino BAILO has only one modest line in the film.
MarÃa BATET comments on the "Novela Ideal", a series of booklets devised by the Urales
family (Federica Montseny⤙s parents). It dealt with subjects of general interest, was
written in a simplified language & was widely disseminated among working-class
people. Its publication continued even when the anarchists were exiled, & hundreds of
titles were distributed. Later in the film, she defends Federica Montseny for having
become the first female government minister, not only in Spain but in all of Europe.
Being an anarchist, she found her own position to be difficult and, at times, incoherent,
but she accepted only under the pressure from the events & upon request of comrades.
Four anarchists became ministers of the new republic in 1936. Their deeds — or
misdeeds — are discussed even today.
Severino CAMPOS mentions the existence of 70 anarchist publications (daily, weekly,
monthly, etc.) during the period of 1936 to 1939. He then explains how active and
organized the anarchists were at that time ("Los aguiluchos de la FAI", to whom at least
three film documentaries are dedicated), & how many people they had lost in battle or
as a reprisal. He also reveals that a fraction of those troops wanted to come back from
the front to Catalonia in order to punish the Communists for what they were doing
against the anarchists in Barcelona.
Francisco CARRASQUER relates how the revolution was spontaneous & how the people
eliminated the military for the first time in Spain⤙s history. He emphasizes the
importance of the propaganda that anarchists were spreading relentlessly among the
masses. He also points out the importance, in liberating minds,of the work of Francisco
Ferrer y Guardia with the Modern School he founded based on logic & reason. He
reminds us also that, instead of frequenting bars, the anarchists were meeting in
libraries & theaters. However, he underscores the fact that in those reading rooms
people were not studying the classics of anarchism, but were reading literary texts, by
novelists such as Blasco Ibáñez or Tolstoy. He then evokes Durruti⤙s funeral, held in
Barcelona & attended (in his words) "...by 1,500,000 people". He notices the fact that,
besides the anarchist press, no one mentioned favorably the collectives, even though it
was thanks to them that the troops at the front were provided food & ammunition, and
life in the rear guard continued normally.
Miguel CELMA insists on the importance of the Ateneo Libertario as an institution of free
(in both senses of the word) learning for illiterate as well as half-literate — and
even highly literate — people. A very interesting sequence is his explanation of
how Libertarian Communism functioned in a rural setting & the example of his own
parents who, being individualists, did not want to adhere to the system, ended up
complying partially (albeit bitterly) & finally recognized the benefits of Libertarian
Communism. At age 16, he was placed in charge of the Calanda collective, which lasted
until March 15, 1938, despite the attempt by General Lister (under Bolshevik orders) to
stop any agrarian libertarian communist experience by jailing the collective⤙s council
members.
Valerio CHINÉ was a member of the so-called Durruti Column, which the government
wanted to militarize after November 20, 1936. But the comrades did not want to become
soldiers. After the defeat, Chiné reports to us what happened when the militians were
told that they could leave from the port of Alicante or Valencia. Instead, some of them
were surrounded & killed, while others were arrested & sent to concentration camps
(including Chiné) in Albatera.
José ESPAÑA remembers how Generación Consciente (which later became Estudios),
founded in Alcoy in 1923 initiated the readers to sexual health & how many avid
readers there were of that magazine. Of note is the transfer of power from the
government to the unions, & then the application of workers⤙ control, federalism, & a
network of exchanges (within Spain or with France, Belgium & Holland).
José FORTEA comments on the above-mentioned system of exchanges, quoting the
example of coal exchanged for goods, footwear & clothing. This happened in Aragón, as
well as in Levante, AndalucÃa & Castilla.
Juan GIMÉNEZ reports as if he was reading in the street under the gas lamp or in front of
a lit shop window. As a member of the Durruti Column, he explains to us that in addition
to fighting the militians they were simultaneously helping the peasants in their fields.
Antonio LAHUERTA⤙s contribution is an example of the efficiency of collectivism (as
opposed to individual land cultivation) through the use of tractors.
Concha LIANO praises the Ateneo Libertario as an eye-opening institution. She explains
the concept of free love, equating it to liking another person & forming a couple with
him or her without the intervention of the State or the Church. She entered the
movement through an excursion group called "Sun & Life", whose activities alternated
between hiking & reading. Next, she was in Plaza de la Generalidad on July 19, 1936,
waiting for Companys to distribute arms to the people. In retrospect, she asked herself if
all the struggles, the sacrifices, the deaths & the exile were all worth it & answers
affirmatively: "We taught the world a lesson. Insofar as we were able, we set an
example of the possibility of living without government, because there was no
government, yet the collectives were working & everything was functioning. Everything
was operating by mutual agreement".
Fidel MIRÓ stresses the habit of Spanish anarchists to project themselves as role models
by leading a dignified life. But more needed to be done in favor of women⤙s liberation;
the events of 1936 led automatically to women⤙s emancipation.
Aurora MOLINA saw in the Spanish events of 1936 the establishment of an example for
the whole world. The sirens of July 1936 were all she needed to run into the streets
because she was the daughter of two eminent anarchists & knew what inspired them
to act & what needed to be done. Molina witnessed an unforgettable spectacle: trucks
painted with the acronyms "CNT-FAI" filled with people carrying weapons & with
soldiers at the anarchists⤙ sides.
Heleno MOLINA explains that there were no written stipulations for becoming a member
of the FAI, but candidates needed to agree with some moral engagements. Then he
relates how, after the proclamation of the Republic, there was an increase in anarchist
publications. Many new titles were printed, but there were never enough copies available.
A very disturbing aspect was his affirmation that Communists would murder anarchists.
Molina cites the case of a small place like San Andrés where 50 members of the
libertarian youth were shot in the back.
Conxa PÉREZ describes the euphoria that reigned after the proclamation of the republic
every night when some kind of cultural or political event ocurred, such as theater, study
of Esperanto, meetings of Libertarian Youth or members of the Iberian Anarchist
Federation, etc. She then explains how abortions (when they were absolutely necessary)
were performed under normal conditions in hospitals & no longer by non-professionals
& under scarce hygienic conditions as it happened before.
Suceso PORTALES was a driving force in the field of feminism. She was the main
organizer of Mujeres Libres in Guadalajara, which founded hundreds of schools for women
& printed thousands of booklets on women⤙s problems.
Dolores PRAT reconstitutes the early history of the CNT, the increase in membership, the
strikes, & the improvised kitchens to help starving strikers. In the same spirit, on July
1936, the union decided that no one was to be out of a job & found work for all
unemployed. Workers knew that they were no longer exploited, & were much more
productive.
Ximo QUEIROL first explains how an individual could become a member of the CNT, then
describes how the Iron Column was organized on the basis of small federated groups of
10 people, as was happening also in the federation of collectives.
Maravilla RODRÃGUEZ merely introduces herself as a former volunteer in the Ascaso
battalion (founded as a memorial to Francisco Ascaso, who died on the very first day of
the revolution while trying to conquer the military headquarters of Atarazanas in
Barcelona).
Juan ROMERO explains how things worked from the point of view of money (or the lack of
it) in the collectives. Some places issued rationing cards, others distributed vouchers,
& in some instances local currency was used: the system varied from region to region
or from village to village, depending on the union members⤙ wishes. Even non-anarchists
or non-trade unionists accepted the system willingly. Complaints were written on a
blackboard & discussed in groups. Romero admits that, despite some squabbles and
mistakes, they were able to demonstrate there was no need for police, bosses or priests
to live in harmony.
Manuel SANZ⤙s contribution to the video is his clarification of meaning of the date of July
19, 1936, celebrated annually by anarchists to recall their for roots. Sanz then talks
about the humanistic vision of anarchism.
Liberto SARRAU evokes the injustice that led to the condemnation of Francisco Ferrer who
was innocent of the crimes that were attributed to him. He praises the schools & the
quality of teaching inspired by Ferrer. Sarrau then provides a logical explanation of the
reasons for burning down some churches, which occurred only with priests who joined the
police & soldiers shooting — from bell towers (as one can see in Ken Loach⤙s
film, Tierra y Libertad) — anyone they could aim at, including women & children,
instead of shooting armed enemies.
José SAUCES alludes to the Casas Viejas revolt, where libertarian communism was
proclaimed in 1934 & failed, & then at the CNT in Saragoza (1936) when it was
reconfirmed. Sauces shows that this is why people were ready in July.
José SERRA ESTRUCH focuses on the rationality of the CNT in organizing work in the
factory. Apparently, when the owners returned after the defeat of the revolutionists, they
found everything working properly & well maintained. They observed a great
improvement on what they had left behind three years earlier, & they discovered that
productivity had doubled.
Antonio TURÓN became a militant while working in a steel factory. He waa attracted to
the anarchists because they did not drink alcohol, they did not smoke, but they read and
talked instead. He cites the example of the Can Girona factory that was destroyed by
Franco⤙s troops because, after being collectivized, had become a model facility due to its
"machinery, tools & electrically operated kilns imported for making special alloys".
José URZÃIZ explains how the Bolsheviks, a minority party in July 1936 (and before), had
acted to gain influence. They "surreptitiously started to infiltrate the army, into the corps
of commissars, into the military intelligence services (which they captured completely)".
Antonio ZAPATA describes the function of the Urban Holding Administration & Control
Commission of Barcelona. This organization was comprised of nine members, of which
three were from the Generalitat, three were from the UGT, & three were from the CNT.
In this video, the interviews are combined with visual materials such as manifestos,
photographs, excerpts from film documentaries, portraits & other relevant graphical
elements. The testimonials contribute to form a sufficiently clear perspective on the
situation such as it was in Spain in 1936-39 from the point of view of the defenders of
the Republic.

História do movimento anarquista em Portugal da década de 70 do século XIX
até à actualidade, com destaque para as publicações libertárias.
No final do século XIX dá-se o desenvolvimento de grupos anarquistas, que
contribuíram para o derrube da monarquia em 1910. Com a 1ª república há
uma grande expansão e é fundada em 1919 a Confederação Geral dos
Trabalhadores, de tendência sindicalista revolucionária e
anarco-sindicalista. Com a instauração da Ditadura Militar em 1926, e com
a ditadura de Salazar que se lhe seguiu, proíbe-se a actividade dos grupos
anarquistas. Em 1933 a censura prévia é legalmente instituída. Os vários
jornais anarquistas, incluindo “A Batalha”, passam a ser clandestinos e a
ser alvos de perseguições. Em 1938 tenta-se assassinar Salazar. Com o 25
de Abril de 1974 há um novo ressurgimento do movimento libertário, embora
com uma expressão muito reduzida.
Considera-se 1886 como o ano do início da actividade anarquista em
Portugal. No entanto já antes se faziam sentir as influências das ideias
de Proudhon em muitos intelectuais, como nos escritores Antero de Quental
e Eça de Queirós.
Há pelo menos um nome a destacar, no início do anarquismo em Portugal, que
é o do médico Eduardo Maia. Já em 1873, ainda jovem, apresentou uma
conferência baseada nos congressos da Associação Internacional dos
Trabalhadores, em que põe em causa o direito de propriedade. Ele é
considerado como fundador da corrente anarquista pós-proudhoniana. Em 1879
é adepto do anarco-comunismo de Kropotkine, e fez escândalo ao declarar-se
publicamente como anarquista. Fez parte do Grupo Comunista-Anarquista de
Lisboa em 1887 e do Grupo Revolução Social em 1894. Colaborou no semanário
socialista “pensamento social” nos anos 1870, onde foram publicados
artigos considerados anarquistas. Colaborou também no “revoltado” em 1897.
O lançamento do movimento libertário em Portugal é no ano de 1886, a
partir da vinda do geógrafo Elisée Reclus e do seu encontro com José
António Cardoso.
Em 1886 formou-se um comité anarquista que editou um órgão mensal com o
seu nome: “A Centelha”.
Com excepção do sindicalismo de acção directa, o anarquismo foi a
componente do movimento social que exerceu mais influência na sociedade
portuguesa entre 1886 e 1936.
A partir de 1886 houve um grande crescimento do número de grupos
anarquistas. Em cada ano há, em média, cerca de 10 novos grupos. A
corrente predominante é a do comunismo-anarquismo.
Intensificou-se também a actividade de propaganda libertária. Ao longo de
10 anos, a partir de 1886, surgiram 24 periódicos. A maior parte não durou
mais de 10 números. No entanto o jornal “A Revolução Social” de 1887 do
Porto publicou-se ao longo de 48 números. “A Revolta”, fundada em 1889, no
Porto, publicou 19 números. “A Revolta” (2ª série), de 1892, de Lisboa
publicou 44 números. “A Propaganda” criada em 1894, em Lisboa, publicou 61
números. Houve também periódicos noutras cidades como Coimbra, Covilhã e
Aveiro.
Nessa época fazia-se sentir repressão sobre os anarquistas, nomeadamente
em 1893 e 1886, ano em que surgiu a lei anti-anarquista. Este novo
instrumento repressivo permite doravante a prisão de quem quer que seja
que «apoie, defenda ou incite, oralmente ou por escrito, a acção
subversiva(...) ou que professe as doutrinas anarquistas». A imprensa
ficou formalmente proibida de se fazer eco dos atentados, dos inquéritos
policiais e do desenrolar dos processos. A mínima alusão, mesmo velada,
implicava a suspensão do jornal, a penhora das publicações, e obrigava as
tipografias a uma pesada multa de 500 mil reis.
Graças aos métodos expeditivos, a justiça portuguesa lança assim para
deportação, para a Guiné-Bissau, para Moçambique e sobretudo para Timor,
algumas «centenas de operários» perigosos ou suspeitos.
Apesar da perseguição foram publicados alguns jornais clandestinos como “O
Petardo Anarquista” (Aveiro, 1896) e “O Revoltado” (Coimbra, 1898). Mais
tarde surgiram “O Germinal” (Lisboa, 1900) e “O Agitador” (Porto, 1901).
Em 1908 surgiu “A sementeira” que durou 11 anos, embora com uma suspensão,
sendo a publicação anarquista de maior longevidade e que reuniu um mais
vasto e qualificado conjunto de colaboradores, até 1919.
No final da monarquia, de 1908 a 1910 os republicanos aliaram-se aos
anarquistas para implantarem a 1ª República, em 5 de Outubro de 1910.
Foram principalmente operários que lutaram e morreram nas revoltas,
enquanto os dirigentes republicanos se protegiam nos seus palacetes,
esperando o resultado do golpe, para depois aparecerem como heróis da luta
contra a monarquia.
Mas logo em 1911 e 1912 o governo republicano reprime o movimento
operário, e muitos operários que apoiavam a república aderiram ao
anarquismo. O ritmo de constituição de grupos anarquistas acelera-se,
passando de 11 em 1910, são criados mais 61 em 1911, 50 em 1912, 44 em
1913, 57 em 1914, 35 em 1915. Uns trinta novos periódicos vêm tornar mais
considerável a imprensa especificamente anarquista entre 1911 e 1916. O
facto mais significativo, todavia, reside talvez na criação, pelos
militantes, duma Federação Anarquista do Sul (1911), duma outra no Norte
(1912) e duma União Anarquista do Algarve (1912), motivados pela
preocupação e eficácia. A ascensão espectacular do socialismo libertário
parece tanto mais irresistível na medida em que os seus partidários tomam
conta do movimento sindical no Congresso de Tomar, em 1914.
Com a 1ª guerra mundial, dá-se a divisão do movimento anarquista e o
jornal “A Aurora”, a tendência antibelicista acusa os “anarco-guerreiros”
de terem esquecido os ideais pacifistas e de empurrarem os países para uma
aventura militarista de incalculáveis consequências.
Simultaneamente organiza-se o sindicalismo, de tendência sindicalista
revolucionária e anarco-sindicalista. A União Operária Nacional é
substituida pela Confederação Geral do Trabalho (CGT) em 1919. É então
criado o diário «A Batalha» que foi fechado pela ditadura pré-fascista em
1927. É de referir que a CGT aderiu à AIT em 1923. “A Batalha” tinha uma
grande tiragem e era muitas vezes lida em voz alta nas cantinas das
fábricas, porque muitos operários eram analfabetos. Era por isso o jornal
que chegava a um maior número de pessoas.
No início dos anos 20 surgiram vários jornais libertários como o semanário
«A Comuna» (Porto, 1920). Na Ilha da Madeira surgiu “O Operário”, um órgão
anarco-sindicalista.
Em 1923 é criada a União Anarquista Portuguesa (UAP).
Os anos 20 foram anos de grandes movimentos sociais em que os anarquistas
tiveram um papel importante.
Em 1926, realizou-se em Marselha, o Congresso da Federação de Grupos
Anarquistas de Língua espanhola em França, de 13 a 16 de Maio. Este
congresso havia acordado constituir a Federação Anarquista Ibérica (FAI)
bem como a sede desse organismo, dadas as condições anormais de Espanha,
fosse fixada em Lisboa, incumbindo a UAP desse trabalho, a qual
oportunamente promoveria «um Congresso Ibérico para dar carácter
definitivo à dita Federação».
O congresso da UAP, a tal respeito deliberou: «Que seja incumbido o Comité
Nacional da UAP de promover uma reunião de delegados do Comité de Relações
da UA Espanhola, onde sejam tratados os principais assuntos do movimento
internacional e em especial a constituição da FAI».
Entretanto, porém, a União Anarquista Espanhola promove a Conferência
Anarquista de Valência, em Junho de 1927, na qual a UAP se fez representar
por um delegado directo. Esta conferência mantém a decisão de Marselha
quanto ao Comité da FAI, cuja sede deveria fixar-se em Lisboa, visto as
condições anormais continuarem em Espanha.
A questão é que essa anormalidade na Espanha, reproduziu-se em Portugal,
com continuadas repressões, vários elementos activos foram deportados para
África, ficando os restantes sob uma perseguição feroz e o Comité de
Relações nunca pôde ser organizado em Lisboa, criando-se mais tarde em
Sevilha.
Poucos dias depois do Congresso de Marselha, dá-se o golpe militar de 28
de Maio de 1926, que esteve na origem de uma ditadura militar (1926-1933)
e alguns anos mais tarde, em 1933, instaurou-se o Estado Novo, ou ditadura
de Salazar, que durou até a 25 de ABRIL / APRIL 25 de 1974 (revolução dos cravos).
Mas muitos libertários não reagiram logo contra os militares. “A Batalha”,
logo no dia 29 de Maio de 1926, publicava, em fundo, a indicação ao
proletariado organizado de que deveria manter-se «na expectativa» perante
o movimento militarista. Era uma resolução contrária às próprias
resoluções da CGT e da restante organização, que em sessões comícios,
etc., desde há muito vinha preparando-se contra tal movimento. Nesse
sentido deliberou o Comité Confederal, reunido nesse mesmo dia, indicar à
redacção a conveniência de que a orientação do jornal fosse conforme ao
espírito da CGT. O conflito entre o Conselho Confederal da CGT e a
redacção de “A Batalha” ainda durou o que fez desorientar o proletariado
organizado e este não deu resposta imediata ao golpe militar fascista.
Com a ditadura, a repressão intensifica-se. Em 1933 a censura prévia é
legalmente instituída. Os vários jornais anarquistas, incluindo “A
Batalha”, passam a ser clandestinos e a ser alvos de perseguições.
Em 1936 a CGT ainda se faz representar no congresso da CNT, em Saragoça.
Em 1938 o movimento anarquista é já precário. Um grupo de militantes,
entre os quais Emídio Santana, fez um atentado falhado contra Salazar,
para tentar ajudar a Espanha contra Franco.
A partir dessa altura deixa praticamente de existir um verdadeiro
movimento, devido à repressão e ao desmantelamento das organizações. É o
Partido Comunista Português que se vai desenvolver, e que devido às suas
características autoritárias (e com o apoio de Moscovo), se vai tornando a
principal força de oposição ao regime ditatorial.
O actual movimento libertário foi relançado nos anos 70. De 1973 a 1986
foram lançados como porta-vozes de grupos ou indivíduos cerca de 40
publicações, de entre as quais: “O Clarão” (Londres, 1973), “Novaporta”
(Paris, 1973), “Portugal Libertário” (Meaux, 1974), “A Ideia” (Paris,
1974). Dá-se o golpe militar de 25 de ABRIL / APRIL 25 de 1974 e surgiram logo novos
jornais. Foi fundada “A Batalha” (Lisboa, 1974) por Emídio Santana e
outros velhos militantes. No ano seguinte viram a luz “Voz Anarquista”
(Almada), “O Pasquim” (Cascais), “O Estripador” (Amadora) em Lisboa
saíram: “A Merda” que teve grandes tiragens, “O Peido”, “Acção Directa”,
entre outros. Em 1976 editaram-se “Satanás” (Almada), “Apoio Mútuo”
(Évora), “Agitação” (Coimbra), “O Chato” (Porto). “Sabotagem” (Lisboa),
“Subversão Internacional” (Lisboa) nasceram em 1977. Seguiram-se-lhes em
1978 “Revolta” (Leiria), “O Meridional” (Faro), “Recortes do Arco da
Velha” (Leiria). Em 1979 “Informações e Contactos” (Lisboa). Em 1985 saiu
“Antítese” (Almada). Em 1986 publicou-se “A Revolta” (Leiria), “Maldição”
(Coimbra) e “Pravda” (Coimbra). Esta lista não contém todas as publicações
dessa época, e nem todas as publicações são consideradas por todos
anarquistas, mas são ou foram consideradas libertárias.
Nos anos 90 do século XX, editaram-se diversas publicações libertárias (há
uma grande variedade ideológica, de conteúdos, e de forma) de entre as
quais: “A Batalha” (Lisboa), “Acção Directa” (Camarate), “Anatopia”
(Lisboa), “Boletim de Informação Anarquista” (Almada), “Coice de Mula”
(Lisboa), “Fysga” (Porto), “Inquietação” (Porto), “Insurreição” (Porto),
“O Sal da Ira” (Lisboa), “Singularidades” (Lisboa), “Tambor” (Paredes) e
“Utopia” (Lisboa).
Actualmente editam-se várias publicações em papel e têm vindo a surgir
várias páginas web e blogues de inspiração anarquista.

In 1909 "Norges Ungsocialistiske Forbund" was founded, a mainly anarchist & syndicalist youth socialistic federation. The syndicalist & youth socialist faction was however not only anarchistical. NUF published the paper "Storm" (1909-1912). "Storm" changed name to "Direkte aktion" (1912-18), "organ for revolutionær fagbevægelse og ungsocialismen" with a youth socialist & revolutionary trade unionist tendency, & from 1914 with revolutionary trade unionist tendency covering both the semi-syndicalist "Fagopposisjon" & syndicalist tendencies.

Babi Yar
The Jews of Kiev were rounded up by the Einsatzgruppen
for "resettlement" in late September 1941.
Thousands of Jews were brought
to a ravine on the outskirts of Kiev & mowed down by machine guns.
Many who were not wounded, including thousands of
children, were thrown into the pit of bodies & were buried alive. According
to an account in The Holocaust by Martin Gilbert,
Ukrainian militia men joined in the slaughter. The records of the Einsatzgruppen unit
which participated in the executions recorded
33,771 Jews killed at Babi Yar on SEPTEMBER 29-30.
In all, more than 100,000 persons,
most of them Jews, were executed at Babi Yar
between 1941-1943 by the Nazis. In the summer of 1943,
the bodies were dug out by slave labor
and burned to hide the evidence of
the slaughter.

What I think of as especially characteristic of Rexroth’s poetry is the way he interrelates even the most disparate & seemingly incongruous topics. However immersed in nature, he always remains aware of the human world, & the juxtaposition of the two realms cuts through both nature sentimentality & civilized pettiness.
Watching the constellations, he envisions the Spanish REVOLUTION 1936 Civil War (“Requiem for the Spanish Dead”). Climbing in the mountains, he remembers Sacco & Vanzetti (“Climbing Milestone Mountain,” “Fish Peddler & Cobbler”). Erotic relations interweave with evocations of the elegant mathematical relations that order the universe (“Golden Section,” “Theory of Numbers”). Elegiac reveries drift from poetry to history to nature to society: http://www.bopsecrets.org/PS/Rexroth1.htm

The Final Declaration of Errico Malatesta Before the Milan July (1921)

*This declaration characterizes better than anything the state of spirit at the end of the Milan trial
of 1921, which is recorded in full in the book E. Malatesta , A. Borghi e compagni, davonti ai
giurati di Milano.
Unfortunately the Milan persecutions did not end there; those who could not stand by & see
Malatesta & his comrades killing themselves by hunger were tried in May, 1922, & received on June 1st ferocious sentences sending Marioni & Boldrini to the living tomb of the ergastolo, young Aguggini to 30 years of prison,. eleven others to many more years of prison.
Their fate is told in Processo agli anarchici nelle assise di Milano, published by the Comitato oro vittime politiche di Milano & in the special issue of Pagine Libertarie.
Errico Malatesta
The Biography of an Anarchist
A Condensed Sketch of Malatesta from the book written by
by Max Nettlau
Published by the Jewish Anarchist Federation
New York City. 1924
From Sasha's brief notes I could only guess what was happening in New York, but soon the newspapers were filled with
accounts of the work of the Anti-Militarist League, which Sasha had founded, & the demonstrations in behalf of the Ludlow miners held in New York & in Tarrytown, Rockefeller's citadel. It was wonderful to me to see Sasha's old spirit rising to the battle, & to observe his extraordinary skill in organizing & handling the work.
The New York activities resulted in a number of arrests, among them that of
Becky Edelsohn & several boys from the Ferrer School. Sasha wrote that Becky
had been splendid at her trial, where she had conducted her own defence. On
being convicted she had declared a forty-eight-hour hunger strike in protest. It
was the first time that a political prisoner had done this in America. I had always
known Becky to be brave, though her lack of responsibility & perseverance in
her personal life had for years been a source of irritation to me. I was therefore
very glad to see her show such strength of character. It is often the exceptional
moment that discovers unsuspected qualities.
Liberal & radical elements in New York were co-operating in protest against the
Ludlow butchery. The "Silent Parade" in front of Rockefeller's office, organized
by Upton Sinclair & his wife, & the various other demonstrations were
arousing the East to the appalling conditions in Colorado.
I eagerly scanned the papers from New York. I had no anxiety about Sasha, for I
knew how dependable & cool he was in times of danger. But I longed to be at
his side, in my beloved city, to take part with him in those stirring activities. My
engagements, however, kept me in the West. Then came the news of an explosion
in a tenement house on Lexington Avenue which cost the lives of three men—
Arthur Carron, Charles Berg, & Karl Hanson—and of an unknown woman.
The names were unfamiliar to me. The press was filled with the wildest rumours.
The bomb, it was reported, had been intended for Rockefeller, whom the
speakers at the New York meetings had charged with direct responsibility for the
Ludlow massacres. The premature explosion had probably saved his life, the
papers declared. Sasha's name was dragged into the case, & the police were
looking for him & the owner of the Lexington apartment, our comrade Louise
Berger. Word came from Sasha that the three men who had lost their lives in the
explosion were comrades who had worked with him in the Tarrytown campaign.
They had been badly beaten up by the police at one of the Union Square
demonstrations. The bomb, might have been intended for Rockefeller, Sasha
wrote, but in any case the men had kept their intentions to themselves, for neither
he nor anyone else knew how the explosion had occurred.
Comrades, idealists, manufacturing a bomb in a congested tenement house! I was
aghast at such irresponsibility. But the next moment I remembered a similiar
event in my own life. It came back with paralysing horror. In my mind I saw my
little room in Peppi's flat, on Fifth Street, its window-blinds drawn, Sasha
experimenting with a bomb, & me watching. I had silenced my fear for the
tenants, in case of an accident, by repeating to myself that the end justified the
means. With accusing clarity I now relived that nerve-racking week in July 1892.
In the zeal of fanaticism I had believed that the end justifies the means! It took
years of experience & suffering to emancipate myself from the mad idea. Acts
of violence committed as a protest against unbearable social wrongs – I still
believed them inevitable. I understood the spiritual forces culminating in such
Attentats as Sasha's, Bresci's, Angiolillo's, Czolgosz's, & those of others whose
lives I had studied. They had been urged on by their great love for humanity and
their acute sensitiveness to injustice. I had always taken my place with them as
against every form of organized oppression. But though my sympathies were with
the man who protested against social crimes by a resort to extreme measures, I
nevertheless felt now that I could never again participate in or approve of
methods that jeopardized innocent lives. Accused, The - (1988, Jonathan Kaplan) An ambitious assistant
district attorney (Kelly McGillis) & a free-spirited waitress (Jodie
Foster) wage a personal battle against the legal system in this gripping'
h)' contemporary drama. Foster stars as the victim of a brutal barroom
gang rape that is witnessed by a roomful of patrons & employees. Foster
and McGillis join forces in a determined attempt to bring to trial the
people who are as guilty as the men who committed the crime- the bystanders
who let it happen. The Accused is an EXTREMELY disturbing film that explores
the devastating aftereffects of a vicious crime & the shocking apathy
that allowed it to occur. (110 min.) Hollywood comes to grips with rape
as a pervasive attitude rather than an isolated incident. Anchored by Jodie
Foster's she's-no-angel protagonist, it launched a whole genre of made-for-TV
movies, an indication that a film has hit a cultural nerve."Review

Hawthorne novel. The first version was made in 1934 & captures the classic
drama of Puritan life in the 1600's & the secret that forced Hester Prynne
to wear the scarlet letter. The second version is from Wim Wenders. This

for sexual stereotypes discussion.

Dear America: Letters Home From Vietnam (1987, Bill Couturie)
Couturie takes a simple idea--matching letters from soldiers in Vietnam
with images of the war--and creates a powerful yet surprisingly subtle
film. Couturie screened the entire archive of NBC News war footage, and
in many cases matches letter writers with TV, film, home movies, & photographs
of them at play, in action, wounded, & dead."Review
by Roger Ebert, in Mother Jones, 1996"
Dr. Strangelove - The Kennedy-era classic that spoofs the Cold
War in a story about a mad American general who blows up the world. Brilliant

discovers the killing was unjustified. Set in Northern Ireland, Hidden
Agenda argues that a right-wing cabal successfully plotted a "dirty tricks"

La Hora de los Hornos (The Hour of the Furnaces) This
semi-documentary was made by Argentinian revolutionaries Fernando Solanas
and Octavio Getino in 1968. Designed specifically to make the audience
participants instead of just spectators, this film not only called for
political revolution in the name of Marx, Che, & others, it also called
for a cinematic revolution. The two co-wrote "Towards a Third Cinema,"
a manifesto criticizing the American "first cinema" approach to filmmaking.
Not just revolutionary propaganda (although it contains a great deal of
that), the film examines the American/European imperialism & neocolonialism
which caused widespread poverty & class distinctions across Argentina
and the whole continent of South America.

Ed Horman, a New York businessman who arrives in Chile to try to find his
son. Initially trusting his advice from the U.S. embassy, Ed Harman comes

Testament (1983, Lynne Littman) Many films have portrayed life
after a nuclear war, but none were so shattering as this. Jane Alexander

of the Bomb. We never see a mushroom cloud or know who started the war.
What we see is even more affecting: A speculation about how communities
of survivors might organize after the devastation."Review

free-thinking & feminist sentiments of her poetry, however, bring her

Reds - The 1981 history of John Reed, author of Ten Days That

Diane Keaton & Jack Nicholson.

neared turned the tide for socialism in Western Europe after the Russian

Agitator, The (1944) A British film about a socialist who inherits
the ownership of a major firm & begins wrestling with his beliefs.
Alien, Aliens & Aliens III An underlying message in this series,
especially in Aliens, seems to be that unrestrained capitalism is monopolistic,
deceptive, & inhuman, often with horrifying consequences. The film's
Company men, along for want to bring back live specimens of Alien for use
as biological weapons. There's a strong implication that the Company is
ready to sacrifice individuals, whole communities, & ultimately human
civilization, to the proft motive. At one point one of the humans says
of the aliens that "at least they don't fuck each other over for a percentage."
Doesn't paint a pleasant picture of the military as unwitting cannon fodder,
either. It does, however, have a strong, intelligent, active female lead
whose match can only be found in Sarah Connor's Terminator 2 performance.
American Dream (1990, Barbara Kopple) Kopple's earlier 1976
documentary
about striking Kentucky coal miners, Harlan County, U.S.A., might seem
a more obvious choice. But American Dream speaks directly to the era of
downsizing, & the waning power & focus of labor unions. During the
long, painful strike at the Hormel meatpacking plant in Austin, Minn.,
we realize the union members are fighting each other while the employers
hold all the cards." Review

strife at WC Boggs' Lavatory factory. Vic Spanner is the union representative

fed up with him.
A Christmas Carol -- This is certainly generally done as a parable
about the need for the wealthy employer to be generous & paternalistic,

Present with Ignorance & Want under his robe!
F.I.S.T. - Sly Stallone plays a young truck driver who organizes
a truckers union, gets heavily indebted to Mafia guns in his rise to power,
and then (dumb, dumb) tries to distance himself from the Mob. Loosely based

of workers against armed company goons.

On the Waterfront - This hard-hitting drama about corruption
in the Longshoremen's Union stands as a major achievement in American film.

the HUAC gives this McCarthy-era film a disturbing edge. (108 min.)
Riff-Raff - (1991, Ken Loach) British socialist director Ken
Loach takes you on a tour of a building site during the Thatcher era. The
workers are exploited & underpaid; unions not permitted; conditions in

legacy of Thatcherism & the inept labor Party seen through the eyes
of the multi- ethnic crew at a construction site." Review
by John Sayles, in Mother Jones, 1996"
Roger & Me (1989, Michael Moore) This surprisingly successful
film was a populist thumb in the eye of General Motors. Wearing a baseball
cap & dingy windbreaker, Moore elbowed his way into GM offices & stockholder
meetings, & documented what he considered the company's rape of his hometown
of Flint, Mich. Yes, the film took cheap shots--but it took them openly
and gleefully, & that was part of the fun." Review

into a world they didn't want to know existed." Review
by John Sayles, in Mother Jones, 1996 "A first film of astonishing
power & insight, showing how the fates of inner-city black youths can
be decided by the social environment. As the hero's father (Larry Fishburne)

guns & gangs is always present. The best of an extraordinary group of
debut films, including Menace II Society, Straight Out of Brooklyn, and

the respect these native people, & sheds his white-man's ways.
Dead Presidents - a young black Vietnam vet sees the system for
what it is, gets exposed to radical politics, & decides to rob a bank.
An amazing film with an even more amazing soundtrack.
Do the Right Thing (1989, Spike Lee) This record of one hot summer
day in Bedford-Stuyvesant is the most important & moving film about race
in America. What empowers the film is its fairness; watching it, you can
identify with most of the characters, black & white. As a series of trivial
incidents & misunderstandings escalate into the death of a man at the
hands of police, & then the destruction of a pizzeria, Lee shows that
the divide of racism, more than any particular event, has led to the film's
disturbing conclusion." Review
by Roger Ebert, in Mother Jones, 1996"
Dry White Season - Donald Sutherland awakening to the horror
of S. African apartheid in the 1970s.
The Glass Shield (Charles Burnett, 1995) Racism & corruption

Hate (French with subtitles) - excellent french film that deals
with racism, & classism by following three immigrant youth in france
over the course of a day under the backdrop of social unrest. this movie
kicks ass in its stark & gritty realism of life for working class immigrant
youth in france.
Homicide (David Mamet,1991) Joe Montegna as a Jewish policeman,
who identifies as a cop, not a Jew, is assigned, against his will, to
investigate
the murder of an elderly Jewish woman, in what appears at first to be a
racially motivated killing (Black on white/Jewish). (Steve Press)
Hoop Dreams (1994, Steve James) Not really about basketball at
all, but the most powerful American documentary of modern times. It's a
story, told over five years, of two inner-city Chicago boys who dream that
their basketball skills will provide them a college education, & perhaps
a ticket to the NBA. How could the filmmakers have guessed, as they filmed
their subjects in eighth grade, that their stories would encompass so many
aspects of big-city African-American life? " Review
by Roger Ebert, in Mother Jones, 1996"
House Made of Dawn - based on N. Scott Momaday's book about the
condition of American Indians has been made into a poetically beautiful
film. More convinving & authentic than any Hollywood effort to understand
the Indian, it is clearly the definitive statement on the plight of Native
Americans. (91 min.)

A lot funnier than Dances with Wolves, & just as radical.
The Long Days of Summer - A small town in the 1930's New England
is the focus for this look at prejudice, as seen through the eyes of a
young Jewish boy whose lawyer father comes under attack from the townspeople.

by John Sayles, in Mother Jones, 1996"
Mandela - The courage & self-sacrifice of South African freedom

and dignity despite three decades of imprisonment & oppression symbolize
the determination of an entire people. (135 min.)

Once We Were Warriors - The title is ironic as this recent
New Zealand film deals with the collapsing Moari {native NZ} family. Quite
shocking & a welcome antidote to the conservative "family values" bull-shit,
which is set in another world from that of oppressed peoples. Includes
youth suicide, child rape, & several feminist themes.
Open Secret (John Reinhardt, 1948) With the help of an
Italian-American
policeman, a young couple on their honeymoon busts a gang of white-supremacist,
anti-Semitic thugs.
Panther -Its about the Black Panthers. Though not completely
historically accurate it is still a neat film.
Planet of the Apes (1967-1973) - These five movies are, in part,
an exploration of racism & slavery transposed to speciesism, culminating
in the 1973 Battle for the Planet of the Apes in which our enslaved

end of the nightmare.... Little did we know." Review

The Big Fix (Jeremy Paul Kagan, 1978) Richard Dreyfuss as an
ex-60's radical who has become a private detective, gets involved in a
movement related case. (Steve Press)
Bob Roberts - Tim Robbins plays a right-wing folk singer whose
folksy populism catapults him into Congress, adabd for the Presidency.
Disturbingly plausible parody of American politics.
Born on the Fourth of July (1989, Oliver Stone) "Like many Vietnam-era
youths, Ron Kovic enlisted out of patriotism & became disillusioned by
the war. Disabled by wounds in Vietnam, Kovic gets further radicalized
stateside--in mounting fury at the way the nation seems content to shelve
and forget him. This is the most powerful of Stone's Vietnam trilogy (released
between Platoon & Heaven & Earth), & centers on Tom Cruise's career-best
performance as Kovic." Review
by Roger Ebert, in Mother Jones, 1996
Canadian Bacon - Michael Moore's first non-documentary film,
with Alan Alda as a President with failing fortunes who decides to encourage
a Cold War with Canada. Some laid off defense workers, led by John Candy,
take some of their former product & attack Canada in a patriotic raid.
Citizen Kane - The story of Charles Foster Kane, Goliath of the
publishing world, is told with dynamic editing, imaginative camera angles
and ever-shifting perspective. This is a story of the rise of one man and
the effects of the depravity of capitalism with a final crashing result.
City of Hope (1991, John Sayles) "Sayles weaves together many
strands--there are some 36 meaningful speaking roles--in a story of how
life, work, race, & politics connect in a modern New Jersey city. Joe
Morton is poignant as a black alderman who tries to effect change but is
efficiently pushed toward the system, & Vincent Spano is lost & touching
as a man whose father supplies him with a job, but not with an occupation."
Review
by Roger Ebert, in Mother Jones, 1996"
Daniel - Timothy Hutton turns in a powerful performance as a
young man trying to clear his family name years after his parents are executed
for conspiracy. Taken from the best-selling novel by E.L. Doctorow and
based on the tragedy of Julius & Ethel Rosenberg. (130 min.)
Dead Man Walking (1995, Tim Robbins) "Robbins' film plays the
death penalty issue down the middle, giving equal weight to the convicted
murderer (Sean Penn) & the anguish of his victims' families. Susan Sarandon,
as the nun who grows to know him, is torn by the struggle to see both sides.
The buried subject is the society that deprives Penn's character of the
insight to understand what he has done, & what he feels about it." Review
by Roger Ebert, in Mother Jones, 1996"
Deer Hunter, The - The blockbuster about the lives of steelworkers
before during & after the Vietnam conflict. Harrowing, brilliantly acted
and unforgettable.
Fellow Traveler (Philip Saville, 1989, made for cable) An actor
and a screenwriter get blacklisted in 50's Hollywood. (Steve Press)
The Front - (Martin Ritt, 1976) Woody Allen plays the front man
for blacklisted writers during the 50's red scare. (The director, screenwriter,
and several of the cast members had actually been blacklisted in the 50's.)
(Steve Press)
Grand Canyon (1991, Lawrence Kasdan) "Danny Glover plays a tow
truck operator who saves an attorney (Kevin Kline) from certain mugging
in an unsafe neighborhood. Kline seeks him out to thank him, & a tentative
friendship begins. The film explores how every day involves countless
possibilities,
some hopeful, some deadly. It is about practicing free will in a jungle."
Review
by Roger Ebert, in Mother Jones, 1996
Grapes of Wrath, The - A family of Sharecroppers travels westward,
driven from their home in Oklahoma farm during the Great Depression, but
the golden dream of California also fails them. This unforgetable movie
about the triumph of humanity over adversity is based on John Steinbeck's
classic novel. (124 min.)
JFK (1991, Oliver Stone) "Take it apart incident by incident,
but the fact remains: We all think the government is lying. With Kevin
Costner as Jim Garrison to sugarcoat the bitter pill, Stone's JFK is a
larger version of Joe Pesci's memorable paranoid speed-rap. It is to conspiracy
theorists what Clueless is to valley girls--a point of reference in a
treacherous
world." Review
by John Sayles, in Mother Jones, 1996"
Manchurian Candidate - A brain-washed POW returns to the U.S.
under the control of Communist agents, trained for assassinations of leading
politicians. Released shortly before the assassination of John F. Kennedy,
and then quickly withdrawn from circulation for more than twenty years,
this brilliant & shocking film skewers both McCarthyite anti-Communism
and totalitarian Communism at the same time. The 1963 film stars Frank
Sinatra, Lawrence Harvey & Angela Landsbury.
Medium Cool - Haskel Wexler uses a TV cameraman as the eyes through
which the 1968 Democratic Convention riots are viewed. He creates an idyllic
romance framed by the realities of death, political hypocrisy & racial
hatred. (110 min.)
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington - What happens when venal corporate
elites try to use a naive Boy Scout leader as their foil in the U.S. Senate.
A classic in the Frank Capra genre of true-blue American populist struggle
films. The 1940 film stars Jimmy Stewart & Claude Rains.
Nixon (1995) - Oliver Stone directs Anthony Hopkins in a really
depressing look inside Nixon's life.
Red Dawn - The great, & goofy, story of ordinary high school
kids fighting back when the Russians invade the U.S. Great example of Reagan-era
Cold War hysteria, excelled only by the mid-80s Amerika miniseries.
Reds - The 1981 history of John Reed, author of Ten Days That
Shook the World & a founder of the American Communist movement, & his
wife Louise Bryant. Though the portrayal of Socialist Party politics has
an unfortunate tilt towards the Bolshevik faction, the main point is the
struggle between love & political sacrifice. Starring Warren Beatty,
Diane Keaton & Jack Nicholson. (1981, Warren Beatty) Bohemian romance
meets the Russian Revolution, or why Americans make lousy communists."
Review
by John Sayles, in Mother Jones, 1996"
Running on Empty (1988, Sidney Lumet) Judd Hirsch & Christine
Lahti play married 1960s radicals living on the run. They blew up a building,
accidentally killing a janitor, & it left their life a shell: While they
appear ordinary to their neighbors, they have trained their two boys to
keep secrets, & be ready to leave town in an instant. Now their older,
teenage son (River Phoenix) needs a "real" identity to pursue education
and a career. Politics, ironically, have been left far behind; that kind
of involvement would blow the family's cover." Review
by Roger Ebert, in Mother Jones, 1996"
Secret Honor (1984, Robert Altman) "Those who thought Oliver
Stone's Nixon went too far should see this film. Philip Baker Hall delivers
a virtuoso monologue as Nixon in the dark hours after his resignation,
pacing his office & addressing ghosts, memories, & the pictures on
the walls. Both in this film & in Nixon, the man himself becomes more
human, understandable, and--dare it be said?--sympathetic." Review
by Roger Ebert, in Mother Jones, 1996"
The War at Home (1979, Barry Brown & Glenn Silber) "A 'found'
documentary: The filmmakers had access to all of the television news footage
shot in Madison, Wis., in the years of the Vietnam War, & employed it
to create a film about how the war, & the protests against it, affected
one American city. Far more than a cut-and-paste, talking-heads job, it
records social, as well as political, history as the shape of the 1960s
gradually reveals itself.'" Review
by Roger Ebert, in Mother Jones, 1996
The Un-Canadians
- A feature length documentary is about the way Canada handled
the McCarthy period during the 50's & 60's. It focuses on the blacklisting
of performers & innocent victims during the anti-communist hysteria.
It interviews those whose lives were torn apart during the red scare decades
by the hidden black lists of the Canadian government & the RCMP.

Anarchy
Libertarian Socialism is a term essentially synonymous with the word "Anarchism". Anarchy, strictly meaning "without rulers", leads one to wonder what sort of system would exist in place of one without state or capitalist masters... the
answer being a radically democratic society while preserving the maximal amount of individual liberty & freedom possible.
Libertarian Socialism recognizes that the concept of "property" (specifically, the means of production, factories, land used
for profit, rented space) is theft & that in a truly libertarian society, the individual would be free of exploitation
caused by the concentration of all means of wealth-making into the hands of an elite minority of capitalists.
It is recognized that there are authoritarian systems & behavior, distinct from libertarian, or non-authoritarian ones. Since capitalism's early beginnings in Europe, & it's authoritarian trend of wage-slavery for the majority of people (working class) by a smaller, elite group (a ruling, or, capitalist class) who own the "means of production": machines, land, factories, there was a liberatory movement in response to capitalism known as "Socialism". In almost every case, the socialist movement has been divided along authoritarian, & libertarian lines. The anarchists on the libertarian side, & the Jacobins, Marxists, Leninists, Stalinists, & reformist state-socialists on the authoritarian side. (And liberals more or less split down the middle.)
There was also a movement called "Propaganda by deed", around the late 1800's to early 1900's, in which some anarchists (Such as the Italian Anarchist Luigi Galleani (1861-1931)), believed that violence was the best strategy for opposing the state. This proved a disaster, alienating anarchists from the general population & exposing them to negative characterizations by the press... the "bomb-toting anarchist" is for the most part a creation of the corporate media- before this stigma anarchism was recognized as an anti-authoritarian socialist movement.
Many anarchist groups & publications used the word "libertarian" instead of "anarchist" to avoid state repression & the negative association of the former term. Libertarian Socialism differentiates itself from "Anarchy" as a movement only in that it specifically focuses on working class organisation & education in order to achieve human emancipation from the fetters of capitalism.
Socialism, in it's traditional & true definition, means "the workers democratic ownership and/or control of the means of production".
Such a definition implies that rather than a government bureaucracy for managing such means, there is a focus on highly democratic organisation, education & awareness, & every individual is encouraged to become an active, rather than passive participant in that which effect their lives. Only the workers themselves bear the knowledge of what their own freedom & liberty means, & only
they know what is best for themselves, ultimately. Advocates of the state, be they on the left, or the right, have repeatedly defined the meaning of "socialism" to mean arbitrary rule by a set of "leaders", or a political con-game in which socialism is no more than capitalism with a few token adjustments for bearability.
Defiantly not. The National Socialist, or NAZI party controlled by Adolf Hitler in Germany in the 1930's used the word "socialist" in their party name because of the strong awareness workers there had of class divisions & socialist theory at the time. The National Socialist Party was actually a right-wing movement that sought to win over working class people from the left. Workers were basically tricked into believing that the NAZI party would solve their countries economic problems by eliminating Jews & other minorities, & expanding the country. The end result was Germany's defeat by the allied powers. Now days there are people who call themselves "national socialists" who attempt the same tactics of fooling people... hopefully they will never succeed again. If a national socialist party ever came into power it would be bitterly & ferociously opposed by libertarian socialists all over the world.
The word "libertarian" has been widely used in conjunction with the word "anarchist" & anti-authoritarian strands of socialist organisations, groups, & individuals since the turn of the century. For example, in the US, Sam Dolgoff started the still-running anarcho-syndicalist publication "Libertarian Labor Review" in the late 1980's, & Noam Chomsky has repeatedly spoken about a libertarian socialist solution to the oppression of workers worldwide. In France (Paris, Nanterre, & Bretagne), Italy, Lebanon
& Belgium there are separate anarchist publications and/or groups all currently using the name "Libertarian Alternative". In London, England the Soliderity group published a series of periodicals since 1960, one of the most recent entitled "Soliderity: A Journal of Libertarian Socialism", & George Woodcock wrote "Anarchism: A History of Libertarian Ideas & Movements" in 1962 (some 9 years before the creation of the US Libertarian Party.) In Cuba in 1959 there existed an anti-capitalist, anti-state organisation called the "Libertarian Association of Cuba". In the 1950's George Fontenis published "The Manifesto of Libertarian Communism". In New York City, July 1954 Russell Blackwell, Esther & Sam Dolgoff formed the Libertarian League, of which for a short time Murray Bookchin was a member. Erlier, in 1949, Gregory P. Maximoff initiated the Libertarian Book Club just before he died in 1950.
During the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) a coalition group called the United Libertarian Organisations (ULO) was created with the intent of spreading truthful information about the revolutionary anarchist activities in Spain. The organisation consisted of groups publishing Cultura Proletaria (Spanish), Il Martello (Italian), Delo Truda (Russian anarchist), Il Proletario (Italian IWW), Freie Arbeiter Stimme (Jewish Anarchist Federation), the American anarchist publication, Vangaurd, as well as the Marine Transport Workers Industrial Union & General Recruiting Union of the IWW, & the Spanish Labor Press Bureau (administered by the CNT-FAI representative in the United States & Canada, the Chicago
anarchist Maximilian Olay). The official organ of the ULO wascalled Spanish Revolution (now available in facsimile from Greenwood Publishing Corporation). Examples of articles are: Rural Collectives in Graus & Imposta; Peasants Build a New Economy; Statistics on Industrial Socialization in Catalonia; Organising the Textile Industry; Industrial Democracy; Running a Department Store; Telephone System Run by Workers; Peasant Communes in Aragon; etc. Anyone interested in constructive economic & social achievements of the CNT-FAI in revolutionary Spain should consult the pages of Spanish Revolution.
In Spain in 1932 Issac Puente wrote the pamphlet"Libertarian Communism", & the CNT adopted libertarian communism as its goal at the 1936 Saragossa conference on the eve of
the Spanish Revolution. In France in 1926 the Dielo Trouda group of anarchists who had fled Russia wrote the hotly debated
"Organisational Platform of the Libertarian Communists".
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the first known usage of "libertarian" was in 1789 as part of "Belsham's Essays", in which he appears to use the term in opposition to "necessitarian". It's hard to say whether there was a direct connection with other uses of the term.
The basic socialistic libertarian movement (in deeds if not in name) most likely has it's roots at least as far back as the French Revolution of 1789 in the poor serfs who saw through the authoritarianism of the Jacobins (and the bourgeoisie in general) who had used these serfs to overthrow the monarchy. [Further information is available from Peter Kropotkin's The Great French Revolution, 1789-1793 (pub: 1909)]
It should be noted that there were two branches of libertarian socialists in the nineteenth century... the communist libertarians, & the mutualist libertarians. Both accepted the Labor Theory of Value, & the worker's right to the wealth which he or she
produces... but they supported different means of achieving the goal of universal equality & freedom for mankind. The mutualists included people such as Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Benjamin Tucker, & the like. There was even a mutualist
libertarian organisation (which came along still later than the French & Spanish socialist's use of the term "libertarian") called the Libertarian League in the 1920's. These people were clearly "Social Revolutionaries" in that the interests of the "working man" were of prime importance to them, though the more communistic libertarians might have called the mutualists "reformist", they were still, at heart, socialist.
There is ample proof from writings from the mid-1800s that indicate that before the capitalists borrowed the term "libertarian", it was
already in use in a political context that one could loosely describe as "pro-socialist". It was not until the 1950's that the capitalistic
use of the term came into vogue.
While a number of pro-capitalist "Libertarian" organisations & publications tend to have recently appeared in the United States & a few other countries, these entities serve the interests of small business owners, landlords, investors & some upwardly-mobile professionals. Essentially secular neo-conservative organisations, with strong inspiration from the writings of the ultra-capitalist
Ayn Rand, economist Murray Rothbard, & science-fiction writer Robert Heinlein. Typical of these advocates of the sacredcy of private property is a distortion of the theories of the moral individualist philosophers of the 19th century (Benjamin Tucker, Lysander Spooner, Josiah Warren, Henry David Thoreau, etc.) who respected the rights of the individual but were highly critical of the concentrations of wealth & power which led to capitalism & economic oppression since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution.
Due to the elite privilege for the few over the many inherent in a 'pure' capitalist system, "libertarian" capitalism is un-democratic & anti-libertarian. For more information see the essay "Libertarianism: Bogus Anarchy", by Peter
Sabatini, & a TV interview with Noam Chomsky.
The Libertarian or sometimes-called "anarcho-" capitalist movement was a reaction from the political right-wing against US president FDR's sweeping social democratic laws passed as a response to a powerful labor movement in the 1930's. The libertarian left had little interest in nationalizations or state-social-programs, arguing that they placed power into the hands of elite managers & not the workers themselves. The destruction of the original libertarian movement in the United States, (by mass deportations & imprisonment), as well as in Europe (The Fascist victories in Spain, Italy & Germany) left a vacuum in which was possible for one Dean Russell of the capitalist "Foundation for Economic Education" to write an article in the FEE publication, "Ideas on Liberty" of May, 1955 entitled "Who is a Libertarian?" which advocated that the right should "trademark & reserve for our own use the good & honorable word 'libertarian.'" In other cases, conservative Science Fiction writers such as Robert Heinlein & Poul Anderson used the term in their writing to depict fictionally virtuous forms of capitalism. It should be noted that these writers & others like them (Ann MaCaffrey, Daniel F. Galouye, Keith Laumer, etc.) supported the U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. For more information see the article "Starship
Stormtroopers" by Michael Moorcock.
What these people did not know or chose to ignore was that at least two US libertarian socialist organisations already existed, one formed in July 1954 called the Libertarian League, started by Russell Blackwell, & the other formed in 1949 and
called the Libertarian Book Club, an idea initiated by Gregory P. Maximoff, & formerly established by a number of anarchists, including: Bill & Sarah Taback, Joseph & Hannah Spivak, Joseph Aaronstam, Ida Pilot (a professional translator) & her companion Valerio Isca, & Esther & Sam Dolgoff. The Libertarian Book Club is based in New York City, & is still active today.
In Webster's New International Dictionary, the definition of 'Libertarian' is stated to be: "One who holds to the principle of free will; also, one who upholds the principles of liberty, esp. individual liberty of thought & action." Clearly, in comparison to the
authoritarian Soviet Union & Red China of the 1940's & 50's, liberal capitalism could be made to appear more "libertarian" than socialism if one were to accept that China & the USSR were the definitive examples of "socialism". But, if one were to have listened to the original socialistic libertarians (the anarchists) all along, it would have been clear that both the "socialism" of so-called Communist" countries, & the idea of a "libertarian (or anarcho-) capitalism" were a farce.
Finaly, it should be noted that most of the modern pro-capitalist "libertarian" writing suffers from a severe defect: they overlook
the fact that capitalism in every form ever tried throughout history is inherently authoritarian (i.e the boss/worker relationship), & thus incompatible with libertarianism in any form. However, if you ignore & skip over those portions that talk about capitalist ideas, there are some really eloquent arguments for individual rights, liberties, & responsibilities in these writings.
Unlike right-wing Libertarians, Liberals & Social Democrats, libertarian socialists reject participation in the mainstream
representative voting process. Libertarian socialism is, in effect, a revolutionary theory & approach to political life. Libertarian
Socialism's anti-state stance might even give it the label "Laissez-fair socialism"- if a politician (or capitalist) were to approach some
anarchist workers in France & ask them what it was he could do for them, they would reply, "Laissez-nous faire."- essentially, "leave us alone". Libertarian socialists understand that it is the workers who create & maintain everything in the world, & they do not need leaders to direct them in the affairs of their lives. What is the least a government could do for workers? Keep the Government & capitalists off their back--but it is far better to avoid the need for "politricksters" & capitalist rulers in the first place.
Libertarian Socialists see humankind divided in a struggle between different social classes: the property-owning class, & the working class. Libertarian socialists are against all forms of coercion, state & capitalist, & do not seek to regulate human behaviors by way of the state, including such issues as possession of firearms, drugs, sexual conduct between consenting individuals, & related issues.
Libertarian Socialists see such things as gun control, "speech codes", drug, alcohol, pornography & prostitution prohibition as a waste of time, & an unnecessary violation of individual choice. Most of humanities woes arise from the inherently coercive, undemocratic & un-libertine capitalist & state systems which human society is currently forced to follow. The answer is not regulation or limitation, but organisation & education with a working-class emphasis. Libertarian Socialists reject the "social democratic" solution of keeping the state & military apparatus around but raising taxes to support social programs. These are merely "band-aids" for problems which under capitalism will never go away, & always threaten to get worse. World problems will not be solved by "professionals", free-market entrepreneurs, the ruling capitalist class, politicians or stateist bureaucrats. Only the people, organised & educated, can solve their own problems.

9. A complete collection of Hsin Shih-chi (The New Century). together with some of the pamphlets published by the Paris group, were reprinted in four volumes, in Shanghai, 1947. All citations from Hsin Shih-chi are from this edition.
94. A brief biography of Shih Fu appears at the beginning of his collective works, Shih Fu wen-ts`on (Collective Works of Shih Fu), Canton, 1927. See also his biography in the anarchist publication Ko-ming hsien-ch'ü (the Vanguard of Revolution), Shanghai, 1928. For a sketch in English, see H. E. Shaw, "A Chinese Revolutionist," Mother Earth, Vol.X, No.8, October, 1915, pp.284-5.
107. For its declaration, see "Declaration of the Society of Anarchist Communist Comrades," Min Sheng, No.19, July 18, 1914, pp. 6-9.
109. For example, in Min Sheng, No. 21, August 2, 1914, the receipt of one of Emma Goldman's books is acknowledged, & her picture is printed. In the same issue, is a note stating that despite the seizure & suppression of Osugi Sakae's new journal, Heimin Shimbun(The Commoner Newspaper), Min Sheng has secretly received a copy of issue No.1. Scarcely an issue of Min Sheng,
moreover, was without news of some foreign anarchist party or movement. In issue No.13, an advertisement appears on p. 12 for a Chinese socialist & anarchist journal published in Burma called Cheng Sheng(The Voice of Justice).
110. Shih Fu lived until after the publication of issue No. 22. It is reported that after every issue, he became ill from over-exhaustion. Following his death, Min Sheng was changed to a bi-weekly, & the last few issues were published very irregularly. At a later point, the anarchists began to publish the magazine again
The Chinese Anarchist Movement, by R. Scalapino & G. T. Yu (1961). http://dwardmac.pitzer.edu/anarchist_archives/worldwidemovements/scalapino.html During the Depression he worked with the labor
movement, the Unemployed Leagues, the Workers Party, the sit-down strikes, & the forming of
the C.I.O. Muste helped start the Conference for Progressive Labor Action (CPLA) which
offered a radical alternative to the Communist Party.
In 1936 he helped organize a strike of the
Goodyear Tire workers in Akron, Ohio, which was the first time the sit-in tactic was used in the
American labor movement. Also in 1936 A.J. gave up his Trotskyism & returned to Christian
pacifism for the rest of his life, saying that God is love & that "love is the central thing in the
universe."
Love, he felt, must be carried into every aspect of family life, race relations, labor
movement, political activity, & international relations.

Panaït Istrati <
(1884 - 1935)
Né en Roumanie, Panaït Istrati fit ses débuts à vingt ans comme
rédacteur à Roumanie ouvrière puis se lança dans une vie de
voyages et d'errances sur les rives méditerranéennes et à travers
l'Europe. Après avoir découvert l'œuvre de Romain Rolland en
1919, il se lia d'une intense amitié épistolaire avec l'écrivain qui
ne cessa de l'encourager à écrire. Panaït Istrati publia
Kyra-Kyralina (1923) dans la revue Europe et il écrivit la plus
grande partie de son œuvre, notamment Les Récits d'Adrien
Zograffi (1924-1935), pendant les dix années qui suivirent. En
1927, Panaït Istrati découvrit l'URSS et publia dès son retour en
France Vers l'autre flamme (1929) qui dénonçait les abus du
pouvoir soviétique. En 1930, il retourna en Roumanie où il publia
de nombreux articles dans la presse roumaine ainsi que des
traductions de ses propres textes dans sa langue d'origine.

Excerpt from My Farewells by Panaït Istrati
translation by Ina Pfitzner
Translator's Note:
Panaït Istrati, the Gorky of the Balkans, was born in the Romanian port city
of Braila in 1884. His young years of vagabondage through the
Mediterranean & Middle East served as the subject matter for many of his
works. Istrati worked as a socialist journalist in Bucharest & traveled to
the Soviet Union, a trip from which he returned disappointed. While living in
southern France, doing odd jobs, he attempted suicide. A passionate letter
addressed to French writer Romain Rolland provoked his idol not only to
encourage him to keep on living but also to start writing. Most of Istrati's
novels were written in France between 1920 & 1929, & in the self-taught
French language, including his international successes Kyra Kyralina & The
Thistles of Baragan. Istrati later returned to Romania to become a hog
farmer, & died there in poverty in 1934. His novels & autobiographical
texts are largely based on folk tales from his homeland as well as on
personal experiences. Istrati's series of autobiographical accounts of Adrien
Zograffi includes My Farewells (Mes départs), written in 1928. It is now
being translated into English for the first time. My Farewells consists of
three sections, of which the first two are reprinted here.

"Kyra Kyralina" de Panaït Istrati
Panaït Istrati est né à Braîla, en 1884. Il part à 12 ans du domicile familiale pour vivre une
vie de vagabondage en parcourant nombre de pays. Il nous conte dans ce livre la vie de
Stavro, un personnage "peu fréquentable" certainement parce qu'il n'a pas eu la même vie que
les autres. Stavro, qui fut d'abord Dragomir partage son enfance entre la méchanceté de son
père et l'amour de sa mère et de sa soeur Kyra. Séparé de sa famille par les évenements trés
tôt, Dragomir fait la pénible découverte de la bassesse de l'homme...
Mon avis : Un superbe livre, où l'on se passionne rapidement pour la vie de Dragomir
(Stavro). Au delà du conte trés bien écrit (ce qui d'autant plus remarquable, car ce ne n'est
pas une traduction, Panaït Istrati a appris seul le français), il ressort des leçons
philosophiques trés judicieuses.

"Panaït Istrati : aventure et exil"
Aujourd'hui à 18h30, dans la salle Elvire Popesco de l'Institut français, Jeanne-Marie Santraud donnera une
conférence : "Panaït Istrati : aventure et exil".
Dana Aldea
(Bucarest Matin)
Professeur émérite de l'Université Paris IV Sorbonne, directrice de la revue Américaine (Sorbonne) et membre de
l'Association "Les amis de Panaït Istrati", Jeanne-Marie Santraud abordera lors de la conférence d'aujourd'hui le thème
de l'aventure et de l'exil dans l'oeuvre et la vie de Panaït Istrati.
Exilé dans un pays étranger, la France, exilé dans une langue étrangère, Istrati proclame dans tout son oeuvre, qui
abonde en expressions roumaines, la nostalgie du pays. Aujourd'hui, son oeuvre continue d'exercer sa magie sur ses
lecteurs, dont la plupart cherchent à expliquer cette fascination.
Quand il vient au monde, Panaït Istrati naît "exilé", père grec, enfant renié. Par la suite, exilé au monde "extérieur" de la
cité (à Braila, on est au courant des circonstances de sa naissance), il va grandir exilé du "dedans" ce qui fait de lui un
personnage type des temps modernes.
Le rôle joué auprès de lui par sa mère va accentuer cet aspect. Elle veut faire de lui un petit garçon bien convenable.
Elle en fait, inconsciemment, un être à part qui sera attiré par les marginaux. Premier départ en compagnie de Mikhaîl.
Istrati n'est jusque là qu'un fugueur.
Une fois déclenché, le processus va néanmoins s'accélérer. Tournant décisif : en France, rencontre de Romain Rolland.
C'est là que l'aventure à proprement parler commence : elle est d'ordre linguistique. C'est dans une langue étrangère
qu'Istrati s'épanouira ; il se jette dans le français, sa "terra incognito", comme on se jette à l'eau, sans formation
préalable, il prend tous les risques. Ce faisant, il reste pourtant l'étranger (L'exilé) : ses thèmes sont roumains et ils
abondent en mots roumains.
C'est à travers eux que l'enfant illégitime proclame son "dor", son mal du pays. Grâce à l'exil de la langue française,
dont l'acquisition lui permettra de prendre du recul par rapport à son enfance, il retourne en terre roumaine et il y trouve
(sans dieu) son royaume.

TRIPTYQUE MÉDITERRANÉEN
Le spectacle Méditerranée fait partie d'un programme de mise en scène par lequel Catalina Buzoianu désire de
mettre en valeur la synthèse Orient-Occident dans l'espace des interférences culturelles du bassin méditerranéen,
un lieu particulier qui se trouve aux portes de l'Orient, à une mythologie profondément troublante qui peut
constituer la base des motifs et des moyens théâtraux modernes.
Les premiers projets réalisés ont été Kyra Kyralina au Théâtre "Maria Filotti" de Braïla et Le Lévant d'après
Mircea Cartarescu, une coproduction du Théâtre "L. S. Bulandra" avec Theatrum Mundi. Comme le spectacle Kyra
Kyralina se référait au port de départ, (la ville de Braïla) et au Danube, "bras de l'Hellespont et de la
Méditerranée", le metteur en scène a imaginé une suite de ce pèlerinage: Méditerranée, la dramatisation étant
inspirée par l'œuvre de Panaït Istrati, prolongeant ainsi la série de ces recherches anthropologiques.
Le roman a été écrit en français, en 1934 et il est formé par deux parties: Lever du soleil et Coucher du soleil.
C'est l'histoire du voyage d'Adrien Zograffi, alter-égo de l'écrivain, "en aval du Danube", à partir de Braïla et en
passant par Constantinople, aux bords de la Méditerranée, longeant les côtes de la Grèce, puis à l'Alexandrie et
au Caire et enfin, son débarquement à Marseille. Panaït Istrati disait sur lui-même: "Je suis entré dans la
littérature française avec une sensibilité toute roumaine, mais il m'a fallu lui coller un visage français". En
illustrant cette confession, Méditerranée est une coproduction du Théâtre "Maria Filotti" et du Théâtre Toursky
de Marseille. L'inédit de la mise en scène est donné par la collaboration avec les acteurs français Tania Sourseva
et Richard Martin - le directeur du Théâtre Toursky de Marseille et le vice-président de l'Institut International de
Théâtre Méditerranéen. Les deux artistes ont interpreté les personnages du Madame Adèle et Panaït Istati dans
le première du spectacle qui a eu lieu au Théâtre Toursky, le 28 mai 1999.
Catalina Buzoianu désire que les spectacles qui composent ce triptyque - ayant des sujets roumains, mais aussi
méditerranéens - donnent de l'identité au Centre de Recherche et Anthropologie Théâtrale qu'elle dirige et au
Festival International "Le Danube - Bras de la Méditerranée", qui aura lieu à Braïla, en 2001.

À la recherche du "Fordisme"
With highly mechanised production, moving assembly line, high wages, & low prices on products, "Fordism" was
born.
( David A. Hounshell, From American System to Mass Production, 1984, p. 11)
Le nouveau mode de production apparu dans les usines Ford avant la Première Guerre mondiale n'est pas passé
inaperçu; dès le début des années 1920 il prend le nom de "fordisme" en Allemagne puis dans d'autres pays européens
(v. Gottl-Ottlilienfeld, Fordismus .., 3deg. éd., Iéna, 1926). En France, la première attestation du terme est repérée en
1929 (Datations et documents lexicographiques, dir. B. Quemada, ndeg. 26, C.N.R.S., Paris, 1985). Panaït Istrati
évoque les "automates du fordisme et de l'américanisation" qui l'ont déçu au cours de son voyage en U.R.S.S. (Vers
l'autre flamme..., Paris, 1929 p. 45 et 276). Dans sa thèse de 1930, Paul Weinberger préfère utiliser le mot "fordisation
car il y a certains auteurs qui distinguent entre fordisme et fordisation. Le premier est la doctrine de Ford, la deuxième
ses procédés "(L'industrie automobile en France et à l'étranger, Paris, 1931, p. 68). Le mot "fordisme" était donc
bien utilisé à la fin des années 1920.

Ricardo Flores Magon, born in 1874, was the most important & influential anarchist in the Mexican revolutionary movement. He became active in the struggle against the dictator Porfirio Diaz at an early age. In 1901 he came to the forefront of the liberal movement, a reformist organisation opposed to the excesses of the regime and, as editor of the opposition newspapers, Regeneracion (founded by his brother) & El Hijo del Ahuizote he was imprisoned several times by the dictatorship. Forced to take refuge in the U.S. in 1904 he continued the struggle against Diaz first from St. Louis & later from Los Angeles, in spite of continual persecution & imprisonment by the U.S. authorities at the instigation of the Mexican dictatorship In 1905 Magon founded the Partido Liberal Mexicano which organised two unsuccessful uprisings against Diaz in 1906 & 1908.

FEMINISM
A League of Their Own - Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, Rosie O'Donnell
and Madonna star in this dramatization of the true story of a group of
women enlisted by the government & professional basebal to play baseball
(albeit like ladies, in miniskirts) while the men were in WWII. Though
the league faded away in the early 1950s, it paved the way for new attitudes
towards women in sports.

3510 -- IS EINSTEIN AN ANARCHIST?
The FBI has been forced to release hundreds of documents on Albert Einstein under the 'Freedom of Information Act'. These can be found as PDF files at http://foia.fbi.gov/einstein.htm
The opening document includes a letter arguing that Einstein should be excluded from the USA because of his affiliation
with the War Resisters League which the document describes as 'Anarcho-communist'. It further argues that Einstein's
own beliefs are anarchist although the writers seem more then a little confused in writing that "Not even Stalin himself
is affiliated with so many anarcho-communist international groups ... as ALBERT EINSTEIN" http://foia.fbi.gov/einstein.htm

3511 -- ANARCHIST ARCHIVE Many names useful for referenceLibertarian Socialism
Why "Libertarian"?
Why "Socialism"?
I've heard of "national socialism"... does that have anything to do
with "libertarian socialism"?
What about the American "Libertarian Party"? Don't they already use
the word "libertarian"?
"Sébastien Faure, who founded Le Libertaire in 1895, is often credited with having invented the word 'libertarian' as a convenient synonym for 'anarchist.' However, Joseph Dejacque's use of the word as early as 1858 suggests that it may have had a long currency before Faure adopted it."
The term "libertarian" goes back at least to the 17th & 18th century religious debates regarding free-will versus pre-destination, & was used at that time to refer to persons who believed that individuals had full liberty to act as they saw fit.
[George Woodcock, Anarchism, p. 281 (footnote)]
(This information is from the book "Fragments: A Memoir", by Sam Dolgoff, Pub. 1986 Refract Publications, Cambridge, England)
What about individual liberty?
Libertarian Socialism is an anti-authoritarian form of socialism & the main principles are liberty, freedom, the right for workers to fraternize & organise democratically, the absence of illegitimate authority & the resistance against force. Libertarian Socialists hold that the people can make the best judgments for themselves when given enough information & therefore stress education rather than regulation. In current society, the individual worker is separated from her or his fellow workers & not permitted to organise against his or her own exploitation... the state is the force which permits this lack of freedom to continue.
What do Libertarian Socialists feel about Racism, Sexism, & Homophobia?
It has always been impossible for workers to challenge capitalism effectively so long as divisions of people based on gender, skin color, or sexual orientation have continued. Racism in particular has been used from the start as a way of dividing workers along an arbitrary basis & weakening any chances for solid organisation. So long as there is always someone being looked down upon, someone forced to accept lower wages because of their low status in society, wages in a competitive system can always be pushed to what the lowest & most desperate will accept. It should also go without saying that there is no scientific proof of the existence of separate human "races" which are truly incapable of getting along, nor is there scientific proof that women are inherently physically weaker or less intellectually capable than men. The issue of "hate speech" & pornography must always take into account the importance of artistic freedom & the necessity to criticize what one disagrees with. When it is clear that a conscious effort is being made to denigrate or divide a group of people from another, with some economic or political goal as it's motivation, libertarian socialists would resist such actions on the basis that they would divide & weaken any chance for eventual liberation from capitalism. Finally, so long as any group is prejudiced against, humanity will wage war against itself for irrational reasons, using such divisions as a means to an end when seen fit. If people understand that they too can be discriminated against, based on ANYTHING about them, it should be obvious that such discrimination, like any other human activity, has potential to be self-destructive in it's consequences.
What libertarian socialist organisations exist?
Currently the most prominent organisations along libertarian socialist lines are the International of Anarchist Federations (IFA), & the syndicalist union known as the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), the anarcho-syndicalist International Workers Association (IWA), & various anarchist organisations & groups world-wide.
Are there any major libertarian socialist theorists?
Aside from the significant number of anarchist communist theorists such as Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Mikhail Bakunin, Peter Kropotkin & Alexander Berkman, some important contributors to libertarian socialist theory & philosophy would be Noam Chomsky, Daniel Guerin, & Murray Bookchin.

La non-violence est l'aspect le plus caractéristique
de l'œuvre de H.R. Cet ouvrage illustre sa philosophie plus
encore que ses précédents ; il constitue à
la fois une apologie de l'individualisme (l'homme ne trouve la
vérité que par l'assertion réitérée
de sa volonté) et une apologie de la non-violence.A plusieurs
reprises, Don Chrysostome est pris à partie. Il pratique
une résistance passive, et tente de montrer à ses
adversaires que l'emploi de la violence ne résout aucun
conflit. (Maricourt : Histoire de la littérature libertaire
en France).'

4000 -- POINT BLANK
4000 -- IS EINSTEIN AN ANARCHIST?
The FBI has been forced to release hundreds of documents on Albert Einstein under the 'Freedom of Information Act'. These can be found as PDF files at http://foia.fbi.gov/einstein.htm
The opening document includes a letter arguing that Einstein should be excluded from the USA because of his affiliation
with the War Resisters League which the document describes as 'Anarcho-communist'. It further argues that Einstein's
own beliefs are anarchist although the writers seem more then a little confused in writing that "Not even Stalin himself
is affiliated with so many anarcho-communist international groups ... as ALBERT EINSTEIN" http://foia.fbi.gov/einstein.htm
