Using reference from literature, history and religion this work points out the flaws and social crimes of society that holds it down from true freedom and progression.

A true classic of radical literature, in its first scholarly, annotated edition.Emma Goldman, the "notorious anarchist" deported from the United States in 1919 for "seditious activities," was a leading figure of American anarchism for almost thirty years. She continued to write and speak on anarchism for the rest of her life in exile, first in Soviet Russia and then in Europe--including Spain during the Spanish Revolution--and, finally, Canada.Goldman played a pivotal role in the development of anarchism in America and Europe in the first half of the twentieth century. This collection, first published in 1910 by her press, Mother Earth Publishing Association, illustrates her wide-reaching mind and ability to bring together strands of American and European individualism, anarchist communism, and early feminist thinking to develop a body of work that continues to influence the theory and practice of anarchism today. Essays include "Anarchism: What It Really Stands For," "The Psychology of Political Violence," "Prisons: A Social Crime and Failure," "The Hypocrisy of Puritanism," "The Tragedy of Woman's Emancipation," and "Marriage and Love," among others.A new introduction by Moran and Pateman situates Goldman's thinking in the movement of her day but also makes clear why her essays are still vital. Annotations throughout bring to light individuals and events that enrich our understanding of Goldman's writings. The Working Classics Series revives lineages of radical thought from the history of the anarchist movement.

In 1919, at the height of the anti-leftist Palmer Raids conducted by the Wilson administration, the anarchist activist and writer Emma Goldman was deported to the nascent Soviet Union. Despite initial plans to fight the deportation order in court, Goldman eventually acquiesced in order to take part in the new revolutionary Russia herself. While initially supportive of the Bolsheviks, with some reservations, Goldman¿s firsthand experiences with Bolshevik oppression and corruption prompted her titular disillusionment and eventual emigration to Germany.In My Disillusionment in Russia, Goldman records her travels throughout Russia as part of a revolutionary museum commission, and her interactions with a variety of political and literary figures like Vladimir Lenin, Maxim Gorky, John Reed, and Peter Kropotkin. Goldman concludes her account with a critique of the Bolshevik ideology in which she asserts that revolutionary change in institutions cannot take place without corresponding changes in values.My Disillusionment in Russia had a troubled publication history, since the first American printing in 1923 omitted the last twelve chapters of what was supposed to be a thirty-three chapter book. (Somehow, the last chapters failed to reach the publisher, who did not suspect the book to be incomplete.) The situation was remedied with the publication of the remaining chapters in 1924 as part of a volume titled My Further Disillusionment in Russia. This Standard Ebooks edition compiles both volumes into a single volume, following the intent of the original manuscript.

Demokratie ist die heilige Kuh. Ist sie wirklich die beste, gar die einzige Methode, um Freiheit, Frieden und Wohlstand zu bewahren? Stefan Blankertz gibt, basierend auf Vorarbeiten u.a. von Emma Goldman und Gustav Landauer, notwendig provokative Antworten in einer Zeit, in der die Demokratie zwischen der Schere von Rechts und Links immer mehr die Form des schon überwunden geglaubten Totalitarismus annimmt. Der Titel »Verschwinde, Staat!« stellt eine Hommage dar an den Ethnologen von herrschaftsfreien Stämmen, Christian Sigrist.Der Band enthält einen Vortrag aus dem Jahr 1909 von Emma Goldman (1869-1940), russisch-amerikanische Anarchistin und Vorkämpferin des Feminismus, über »Minderheiten und Mehrheiten«, dem der Übersetzer Gustav Landauer den Titel »Die Masse« gab, sowie zwei Beiträge von Gustav Landauer (1870-1919), Sozialist und 1919 wegen seiner Beteiligung an der Münchner Räterepublik ermordet, über die Verwirrung des Staats mit der Nation aus den Jahren 1911 und 1915.

Emma Goldman is one of the most celebrated activists and philosophers of the early 20th century, admired and reviled for her anarchist ideas and vociferous support of free speech and personal liberation.A polarizing figure in life, Emma Goldman was among the first advocates of birth control for women. From 1900 to 1920 she was in and out of jail in the United States on charges of illegally promoting contraception, inciting riots in favor of her social and economic causes, and discouraging potential recruits to avoid the draft for World War I. Although Goldman initially supported the Bolshevik Revolution, the resulting Soviet Union's repressiveness caused an abrupt reversal in her opinion.Goldman's narrative is thorough yet compelling; her childhood in Russia, her emigration to the USA as a teenager, and her attraction to anarchist and social causes is told.
