Johann Most: To the Impatient, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A welcome collection from a firebrand of the immigrant anarchist movement in the United States.

To the Impatient presents the first English-language collection of Johann Most's writing from 1882 to 1906. This volume is composed of newly translated texts that chart his evolving views on revolution, anarchist philosophy, religion, labor, violence, love, democracy, and American society. More propagandist than theorist, Most possessed a rare gift for rousing the working class through language. His mastery of German, whether in speech or print, distinguished him among early immigrant radicals in America. With sharp wit and rhetorical flair, he wielded words to clarify complex ideas, ridicule the powerful, and incite action, creating a verbal spectacle that was as daring as it was unforgettable. Included are his most famous pamphlets The Beast of Property and The God Pestilence alongside articles exploring the breadth of his anarchist ideas of the time.
