I came across this book on project gutenberg. read it online here(https://lawless.world/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/my-disillusionment-in-russia-emma-goldman.pdf) if it tries to make you download it, you can read it here(https://lawless.world/my-disillusionment-of-russia/) but i’m trying to not link directly to my own website as i’m not posting this to try and get traffic.
people whom have a belief that communism or bolshevism is somehow in anyway, a good thing are absolutely nuts. just take it from emma (who is not so much different than the blm marxist captain, susan rosenberg).
for those not familiar with this writer, emma goldman (june 27 o.s. june 15, 1869 – may 14, 1940) was an anarchist, political activist and an author. emma and her lover, alexander berkman were both a key developers of the rise in anarchist political philosophy in north america and europe in the first half of the 20th century.
born in kaunas, russian empire (now lithuania) to a jewish family, goldman emigrated to the united states in 1885. attracted to anarchism after the chicago haymarket affair 1, goldman became a writer and lecturer on anarchist philosophy, women’s rights, and social justice issues yet she is more popularly known for what she and anarchist writer alexander berkman, her lover, planned to do. they attempted to assassinate an industrialist and financier, henry clay frick as an act of propaganda. frick was fortunate to survive the attempt on his life in 1892, and berkman was sentenced to 22 years in prison while emma was a little more fortunate. unfortunately for her, goldman was imprisoned several times in the years that followed, for “inciting to riot” and illegally distributing information about birth control.
in 1917, goldman and berkman were sentenced to two years in jail for conspiring to “induce persons not to register” for the newly instated draft. after their release from prison, they were arrested—along with 248 others—in the so-called palmer raids during the first red scare and deported to russia. initially supportive of that country’s october revolution that brought the bolsheviks to power, goldman changed her mind pretty quickly once she reached the bolshevik controlled ‘mother russia‘.
i suggest those whom hold these beliefs that communism or socialism is a good thing to read this book as it may give you a hard dose of reality just as good ol’ emma had.
