Emma Goldman - An exceedingly dangerous woman Part 4

[pureaggression]

She was not a real anarchist, she was a violent joke of a philosopher.

[JimmyCTunny]

People need to realize that anarchism isn't something to compare to terrorism. We as anarchists are a peaceful people. Anyone who promotes anarchy through violence or terrorism should just go join all the corrupt politicians.

[wormword]

@JimmyCTunny Really? Where did you get that idea?

[JimmyCTunny]

@wormword It is not an idea, it is the ideology and the truth of anarchism. Violence/terrorism destroys one's freedom, it does not establish it.

[wormword]

@JimmyCTunny That really doesn’t explain where you get the idea that Anarchist is not violent. Out side of the belief that there should be no government, there is no Anarchist ideology. Each Anarchist has a different idea of what Anarchy is. There are Anarchist who believe that violence can be useful, and some who don’t. Just look at both Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman wanted to have Henry Clay Frick killed. Alexander Berkman actually tried to kill Frick. How is that not a violent act?

[JimmyCTunny]

@wormword I never stated that killing someone is not a violent act. In fact, I said quite the opposite. Also, one so called anarchist doesn't define the future for any other anarchist.

[wormword]

@JimmyCTunny Are you saying that Emma Goldman wasn't a Anarchist ? How about the people who fought in the Spanish Civil War? You clearly have no idea what you are talking about.

[beautifulanon86]

@JimmyCTunny as a fellow anarchist , i say we must make this known t othe masses , anarchism is freedom, violence is necessary in a world that only responds to tragedy

[agnostoatomo]

You are completely right about the principle of nonviolence most of the Anarchists follow.

Most of us learned from the failures called "propaganda of the deed". If someone really wants to understand your statement,she or he can read even Berkman himself in ABC of Anarchism.

The people who think Anarchy as something violent tend to deny the bigger violence of society they live in.The foreign (warmongering)policy of the USA, alone in the last 60 years, is enough proof for my statement.

"In prison for talking." You mean like her cousins are doing today to people with their hate crime laws? See Brendon O'Connell Perth Australia.

So what. ...And what is that background music for? Romanticism? All those overdone interiors and crafted lighting for the commentators... Bah.

And to my Bah you say "Ba-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ah." How cute. Why hello there little lamb. What's the season? Spring you say? Well!

"the home for lost dogs"

i like that.

I don't care how hateful those comments below may have been, or how insulting. Anarchism is also about the freedom of OPEN information(kinda like youtube...kinda). Meaning we could counter the offensive person's arguments in an open forum. Instead we have no clue what they said and you are participating in Information Warfare. thought you were on our side?

3:30 "..I am opposed to violence, but if people want to do away with assassins they must do away with the conditions that produce murderers".

Foucault anyone? How about the War on Terror?

[Marenqo]

@jmatrim

what connects Goldman with Foucault? Right, Nietzsche
