-- SOME LITTLE KNOWN ANARCHISTS: Sam Mainwaring The Anarchist movement, numerically always a small movement in this country, has been rich, in fact unique, in exceptional personalities. One of the most outstanding was Sam Mainwaring. Big in body & mind, a Celt, with all the fire and enthusiasm of his race, he was yet a quiet persuasive speaker, & a tireless worker. The Cause was not a spare-time hobby with him, it was his life's work, & his zest never diminished. When he was too old & ill to do much open-air speaking, he took care that at his old favourite pitch, near Hoxton Church, there was a speaker, a platform, & literature on sale. An engineer by trade, he served for years as a delegate on the London Trades Council, & whilst never seeking an official position in his Union, he was active in it, seldom missing an opportunity of expressing his revolutionary views. He was one of the original members of the Socialist League, a personal friend of William Morris, & was very closely associated with, & respected by, all the propagandists of that day whose names have passed into history. Wherever he happened to be living, Wales, London, or elsewhere, that place became the centre of propagandist activity. Older comrades will remember Sam's propagandist tours into Wales. The first one in company with F. Kitz. Sam spoke in his native Welsh, which he maintained was the finest speaking language in the world. On the second tour, many years after, he was accompanied by Terrida del Marmol. Together, they, later on, started the short-lived revolutionary weekly "The General Strike", which was the forerunner of similar ventures. As a propagandist orator, Sam had his own style of address. It was characterized by clear deliberate thought, argument & enunciation, which held his audiences fixed until his message was delivered. He had a remarkable gift of humour, its form generally taking that of a story, the climax of which both amused & astonished the crowds who listened to him. It was a common thing for him to speak for four or five hours at a stretch, often during that time attracting two or three fresh crowds of people. His private personal efforts, like those of nearly all the active propagandist workers of that period were persistent. The movement to him never was merely a matter of public meetings only, but of private personal activity also. An illustration of that fact is, that years ago Tom Mann, at a meeting at the Club & Institute Union Hall, in Clerkenwell Road, introduced Mainwaring as his old foreman who, in the engineers workshop, where they were both employed, brought the message of Socialism to him It is lamentable that Tom should now be a public spokesman of a party who would, by the medium of the O. G. P. U, put a Russian Mainwaring up against wall & shoot him. Sam Mainwaring always advocated the right of others to express their own sincere convictions equally with himself. This year being the centenary of William Morris, we ought to bear in mind some of the comrades who worked with him in the Socialist League. Some so-called historians of today regard Morris & the League as one & the same thing. The fact is, there was a body of really remarkable men & women in the League, & not the least of them was Sam Mainwaring. He left a gap which has not been filled. His life & work is a challenge to the younger generations who follow. Will they equal or better his record? By Mat Kavanagh, FREEDOM, MAY 1934 http://flag.blackened.net/ksl/bullet9.htm
-- Little Known Anarchists No 2: BULGARIA: A. M. Nakov, Anarchist Militant.
The document printed below was lifted from the records of the Prefecture of Police (MVR) in Pernik, Bulgaria & it concerns an anarchist militant by the name of Alexander Metodiev Nakov. It was passed to us by the Bulgarian Libertarian Union (ULB) in exile whose accompanying note stresses that "this anarchist's dossier is a splendid biography supplied by the police themselves" & adds: "For this testimonial, Nakov is indebted & we are all grateful to the DS & its agents, the informants whose names are given inside inverted commas. It is more than just a simple biography of an anarchist fighting for freedom & justice: it amounts to a multi-biography of an entire people in its unflinching struggle."
We have decided to retain the essential style & pattern of the text, contenting ourselves with eliminating the biographical details of A. M. Nakov's two brothers & two sisters.

Report on Alexander Metodiev Nakov
Alexander Metodiev Nakov was born on 1 August 1919 in the village of Kosatcha, Pernik department, a Bulgarian, resident in the town of Pernik at No 86, Machala Teva, in the Petko Napetov district. Works in the Republic mine as a locomotive fitter. Educated to 7th grade. Descended from a poor family. Married: two children.
His wife, Kirilka Alexeyeva Metodieva, born 28 SEPTEMBER 1922, in the village of Viskar, Pernik department, lives at No 86, Machala Teva & works at the Machinostroitel plant in Pernik as a factory hand. As in the past, she is today non-party (apolitical): under her husband's influence, her position towards the popular authorities is unfriendly.
His daughter Jordanka Alexeyeva Nakov, born 8 SEPTEMBER 1945, in Pernik, is a student, a member of the DUCJ.
His son, Marin Alexandrov Nakov, born March 1948, in Pernik, is a student, a member of the DUCJ.
His father, Metodi Nakov, is long since deceased.
His mother Jordanka Christova Nakova, was born on 2 July 1897, in Kosatcha village, Pernik department & resides in the same village as an apolitical housewife.
The subject in question has two brothers & two sisters (...)
Alexander Metodiev Nakov, following his primary schooling, worked for a time as a farmhand: after arriving in Pernik, he started work in the mines in Pernik. At present he works as a filler in the Republic mine. As a worker & producer, he is very good & carries out his production tasks conscientiously.
As early as 1937, he entered the ranks of the anarchist movement & embarked upon militant activity: he helped launch an anarchist group among the workers of the erstwhile machine department of what is now the Machinostroitel plant.
In 1941, the subject & five other anarchists were arrested by the police & sentenced to 6-8 years in close custody. He served 3 years in prison. After release from prison, he stayed in his native village, carrying on with his anarchist activity along with the subjects Miltcho Slavov, Asparoukh Grouzhov, Jordan Borisov, & Gueorgui Kirilov, all of them from Kosatcha village. At the end of 1944, he came to Pernik to work: & took up with Dimitri Vassiliev, Bojan Alexev, Laserman Asenov Minev, Maria Duganova, Kotze Zacharinov & others. They set up an Elisee Reclus anarchist organisation. The subject was Southwest Bulgarian Anarchist Union's organising officer for the town of Stanke Dimitrov. After the anarchist movement was outlawed, the subject carried on with his activity as a militant, taking part in an illegal anarchist conference, distributing mutual aid stamps & collecting funds for anarchists hit by reprisals. As a result of this activity he was sent in 1948 to the Belene labor and re-education camp, where he behaved very badly, being punished several times as a result. He was freed from the camp on 10 August 1953.
After his release from the camp, he carried on with his anarchist activity & frequenting anarchist circles. His closest connections are Dimitri Vassiliev Stojanov, with whom he shared lodgings for a time, Bojan Alexev Stefanov, Michail Stojanov Mindov, presently at No 2, Batak Street in Rousse, Vladimir Andonov and llya Gueorguiev Minev. At present the subject meets frequently with the above-named anarchists: they discuss events, swap literature & assist one another.
In the labor & re-education camp, the subject met lots of anarchists from all parts of the country, with whom he remains in ongoing contact. In August 1961, using his warrant for free nationwide rail travel, he travelled to Varna, there to meet with Bojan Todorov Mangov, Atanase Mangov & Todor Baramov, very active anarchists: in Kolarovgrad he met with Trouftcho Nikolov Trouftchev: in Knegea, with Trifon Todorov Tersijski: in Debeletz, with Letcho Todorov Natchev: & in Sandanski, with Petko lvanov Stojanov: he discussed their connections & morale with them all.
The subject's attitude towards the popular authorities is unfriendly: he makes scurrilous comments, damaging the prestige of the popular authorities.
Concerning the change in the currency, & in the presence of agent Nikolov, he made a remark to the effect that in the wake of the change the price of goods would be increasing & the workers' wages shrinking. Apropos of the 25 February 1962 elections, the subject made a statement that the elections are not free, but rather a consequence of the Communists' disarray. In the presence of agent Bogdanov, he declared: Scrutinise events through the prism of a free-thinker who cannot swallow the dogmas of the present communists & then you will understand & see where the world is headed. The communists have stripped peoples of all power & provoked their resistance throughout Eastern Europe, especially in Poland, Hungary & East Germany. There the authorities only manage to hang on thanks to Russian pikes. The Hungarian events are a good example and confirmation of that. In character, the subject is modest, a teetotaller, a non-smoker and a fine worker. He is possessed of a good overall political grounding, reads a lot, knows Esperanto & is a member of the New Path Esperantist society in Pernik. He is a fanatical anarchist who openly declares that nothing on earth can divorce him from his ideas and from his relations with anarchists.
The subject was taken to the OND No 1218 from 1954 to February 1962.

Note: The above text is an exact copy (translated from the original Bulgarian) with all of its flaws, in terms of grammar & language: it was made & authenticated by the Bulgarian Libertarian Union in exile as a photocopy of the original, sole existing document registered by the MVR Prefecture in Pernik. Comment would be pointless. But there are a few necessary points that we ought to make clear:
1. As a document, its status is that of a HISTORICAL CERTIFICATE prepared by the regime of People's Democracy for its own use, which is to say by & for the Bulgarian CP as the vanguard of the working class, governing in the name of the class & targeting with its dictatorship of the proletariat, not merely the enemy, but the most typical representatives of the world of work.
2. The document shows how painstakingly the police prepare their files on enemies of the working class's very own regime, because the intelligence collected relates not only to the enemy himself but also to his wife, children, brothers & sisters, & not even his mother & his dead father are overlooked.
3. The subject who is not a human being but merely No 1218 on a police register is, in this instance, an anarchist, a member of the anarchist movement from the age of 18, having served jail time for his beliefs & his militant activities under the old regime & been interned under the current one for years even after the compilation of this file, in 1978, for collecting mutual aid stamps & having helped those of his comrades suffering under reprisals, according to the document itself, & who are many, being a great many from all around the country.
4. This anarchist's file is a magnificent biography (drawn up by the police themselves) of what can be achieved, one which should be a source of pride not only to the worldwide anarchist movement, but above all also to the working class, which has in him an outstanding representative.
5. This anarchist, an enemy of the regime, product of a very poor village family & not of the bourgeoisie is a worker, who as a worker and producer, is very good & he carries out his production tasks conscientiously, in character, he is very modest, being teetotal, a non-smoker & a good worker, not a saboteur, layabout or hooligan, nor a mollycoddled fantasist. Nakov is grateful for this testimonial & we are all in the debt of the DS (Security Directorate) & its agents, the informers whose names are given in inverted commas. It is not merely a biography of an anarchist fighting for freedom & justice, but a genuine multi-biography of an entire people in its unflinching resistance.
Note by the representative of the FACB (Bulgarian Anarcho-Communist Federation) in exile: At one time or another I have worked in concert with every one of the comrades named in this article, with the exception of Alexander Nakov's family.

3509 -- The publication & circulation of these resolutions were delayed by the arrests; finally the Belgian Federal Council proposed to invite the Jurassian Federation to convene the general congress --- hence the Geneva Congress held in September, 1873. Andrea Costa wrote in 1900 (Bagliroi di socialismo. Cenni storici, Florence) that, though the Socialists of Naples had already been molested, the present arrests were the signal of stupid & vile persecutions which lasted for seven years [and which, if they then ceased for Costa who entered politics, for anarchists continue until this day]. Then for the first time the International was charged to be a criminal body (associacione di malfattori), but the tribunal not yet endorsed these governmental views & the arrested were all discharged after two months of prison, but other arrests followed, at Lodi, Parma, Rome, etc.
Cafiero & Malatesta passed 54 days in prison, which lead up to the beginning of May; Cafiero then went home, to Barletta (Apulia), summer of 1873 a Spanish revolution seemed imminent, & finally, urged on by his Spanish friends, Bakunin resolved to go there himself. But only Cafiero could give the necessary money & his affairs at Barletta were not yet terminated. So Bakunin & Malatesta decided to impress the importance of the matter further upon him, & since this could hardly be done by letter, Malatesta traveled to Barletta, where he was arrested three days after his arrival - & kept in prison for six months, to be discharged afterwards, of course without any trial. This may cover the time from the middle of July, 1873, to January, 1874, since he remembers that news from Alcoy - where a movement took place on July 9 - precipitated his journey. At that time - as Z. Ralli (Zamfir C. Arbure, a Roumanian, then in the Russian movement)

Frauen in der Ersten Internationale Die Erste Internationale (1864-1872) war ein Versuch, die vielfältigen Facetten der internationalen sozialrevolutionären Bewegung zusammenzuschließen. Entgegen dem gängigen Geschichtsbild waren Frauen daran aktiv und höchst streitsam beteiligt. Antje Schrupp deckt mit ihrem Buch diesen verschütteten Strang unserer Geschichte engagiert und spannend auf. Sie geht davon aus, daß nur durch die Annäherung an Diskussionsprozesse die Komplexität von politischen Bewegungen zu begreifen ist. So wählt sie die Biografien von vier sehr verschiedenen Frauen, die sich im Umfeld der Ersten Internationale engagiert und umfassende polititsche und soziale Utopien entworfen haben: Virginie Barbet, Elisabeth Dmitrieff, Andre Leo und Victoria Woodhull. "Ob aus dem Versuch, eine feministisch-sozialrevolutionäre Theorietradition aufzudecken, auch heute noch Vorbilder und Leitmotive für feministisch-sozialrevolutionäres Handeln entstehen könnten, muß jede Leserin und jeder Leser selbst entscheiden ..."

Il a rencontré l'ancien parlementaire social-démocrate Johann Most (1846-1906) lors de sa visite à Fribourg en Suisse. Most, devenu social-révolutionnaire se réfugia dès 1878 à Londres où il fonda le journal Freiheit (Liberté). Most disait qu'il n'y avait pas eu de libertaires jusqu'à sa rencontre avec Reinsdorf en 1880. Reinsdorf écrivait des articles pour Freiheit, qui est devenu anarchiste en 1881. Dans les années 1880, les anarchistes ont eu une cinquantaine de groupes représentant 200 à 300 militants. En 1883, ils pouvaient distribuer environ 4500 exemplaires de Freiheit dans l'Allemagne impériale. Le journal était alors édité à Londres. Son siège fut transféré à New York en 1882. Pour la distribution, des passeurs comme Johann Neve ont expédié le jounal sur la frontière. En Allemagne il y a eu des groupes clandestins de cinq personnes d'après le modèle de Babeuf. [7] Contre la repression de Bismarck dans l'Allemagne impériale, le parti social-démocrate a réagi de manière opportuniste. Pour critiquer ce légalisme il y eut le courant des sociaux-révolutionnaires. Le 11 mai 1878, Max Hödel tira sur l'empereur Guillaume Ier mais il ne réussit pas à l'atteindre. Hödel connaissait des anarchistes, mais il ne l'était pas lui-même. Le 2 juin 1878, Dr. K. Nobiling tira sur l'empereur et le blessa grièvement. Nobiling n'avait aucun lien avec les courants politiques ; il n'était ni libertaire ni social-démocrate. Mais le chancelier Bismarck a profité des attentats pour édicter des lois anti-socialistes entre 1878 et 1890. Il y eut beaucoup d'arrestations. A Francfort 44 personnes furent arrêtées, 15 furent condamnées d'un à trois ans de prison ferme. Pendant le procès, s'illustra un commissaire de police particulièrement répressif, Rumpf. Le 13 JANVIER / JANUARY 1885, Julius Lieske, venu de Genève, attaqua Rumpf à coups de couteau. Rumpf décéda et Lieske fut décapité le 17 novembre 1885. Contre la repression de l'empereur, August Reinsdorf avait prévu un attentat contre lui lorsqu'il inaugurerait le mémorial de Niederwald à Rüdesheim-sur-le-Rhin au mois de septembre 1883. Reinsdorf étant malade, deux de ses amis se chargèrent de faire éclater la bombe mais ce fut un échec car le cordeau était mouillé. Furieux, ils jetèrent alors la bombe dans un restaurant. Reinsdorf et Küchler furent décapités le 7 février 1885. Ce furent les actes de la propagande par le fait en Allemagne.
9003 -- SHIT -the etymology Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2003 21:07:03 -0500 From: Camy A Little History Lesson, or Etymology...
In the 17th century most everything was transported by ship including manure (remember, the precursor of petro-chemical fertilizers). It was shipped dry because it weighed a lot less, & when wet the bacteria were active, producing odor & methane gas. At first, manure was stored below deck in bundles. However, when the bundles got wet, methane gas could build up to explosive levels, & the first time a sailor with a lantern went below deck... Boom! Several ships were destroyed in this manner before the process was understood, & after that, manure bundles were stamped with "Store High In Transit." Thus, evolved the word "shit", which is still in use today. You probably didn't know the true history of this term. Neither did I, I thought it was a golf term.
