Jewish Anarchist Women in History & The Operating System

This month we have a great new interview (below) with Elaine Leeder about her research and interviews with Jewish women active in the anarchist movement between the 1920s and 1950s. To learn more you can also attend Elaine’s free presentation this Thursday June 10 - register here.

While there’s always plenty of great content in the Agency Newswire, this week we are excited to have shared an excerpt from Eric Laursen’s new book “The Operating System: An Anarchist Theory of the Modern State” (AK Press) from Roar Magazine. Eric is one of our amazing Agency collective members and a prolific writer on many important issues, and we will be sharing about his important new book over the next few months. More to come!

Jewish Anarchist Women of the Early 1900s: An Interview With Elaine Leeder

Elaine Leeder was a member of the 1970s anarcha-feminist movement before becoming a sociology professor. She is the author of six books, including The Gentle General: Rose PesottaAnarchist & Labor Organizer and My Life with Lifers, about her educational work in San Quentin prison. Her upcoming Zoom talk at the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research covers interviews she did with eight Jewish women active in the anarchist movement between the 1920s and 1950s. They cover the roles of sexual freedom, family, communal living, education, economic independence, and the role of Jewish ethnicity in their lives. “Jewish Anarchist Women 1920­–1950: The Politics of Sexuality” will be live on June 10, 2021 at 1PM EST and is free, but advance registration is required. (The talk will also be available on YouTube afterward).

“They wrote for anarchist journals, worked at labor organizing, raised their children in anarchist oriented schools, lived in anarchist communities, engaged in non-traditional marriages and sexual relations. Some of their husbands (or partners) went to fight in the Spanish Civil War while they stayed home and continued their agitational work.”

Eric Laursen: What Exactly Is The “System” That We Are Fighting?

“‘The system’ is back. And it is high time we talk about it again. Fifty years ago, in the days of the Vietnam War, the counterculture and widespread questioning of government, a lot of prominent writers, not to mention day-to-day activists, used this bit of shorthand to describe the power they were fighting against. Today, in the era of dark money, neoliberal capitalism, police impunity and US American forever wars, we still need a way to think coherently about these problems, about the forces that produce them and we need to figure out how to fight back — without lapsing into some left version of QAnon.”

Willamette Week: Portland Cops Are Mining Intel From Informants Who Infiltrate Masked “Black Bloc” Marches

“About 45 minutes before sunset on May 25—the one-year anniversary of the murder of George Floyd—approximately 100 protesters gathered outside of the Multnomah County Justice Center in downtown Portland. Many followed the typical dress code: black shirt, black pants, black mask. The sea of identity-concealing dark clothing, known as ‘black bloc,’ provides a sense of anonymity and uniformity that can be further enhanced by rules that ban livestreamers and restrict the press.”

Bjorn L & It’s Going Down: Washington Post Echoes Trump In Falsely Claiming Protests Connected To Rise In Gun Violence

“On, May 31, 2021, the Washington Post published an incredibly dishonest, defamatory and reactionary smear piece by a reporter named Scott Wilson with the headline: ‘Anarchists and an increase in crime hijack Portland’s social justice movement.’ The entire framing, starting with the headline itself (which was predictably amplified by supposedly high-minded, ‘nuanced’ reactionaries like Jonathan Chait and Glenn Greenwald), is that anarchist resistance is in some way connected to the city’s recent increase in gun violence, which isn’t directly supported (nor directly claimed) anywhere in the article.” Read more

Natasha Lennard: Imprisoned Anti-Fascist Activist Says Federal Guards Let White Supremacists Beat Him

“One morning in early 2018, Eric King was awoken at 5 a.m. and taken out of his solitary confinement cell by prison guards at the federal United States Penitentiary, McCreary, in Kentucky. King didn’t know the correctional officers by name, having been recently transferred to the facility for unexplained reasons.” Read more

Worldcrunch: Cold Justice In Siberia: A Teenager Swallowed By Putin’s System

“Everywhere, hearts. In his school notebook, Nikita wrote the words ‘Pushkin is a genius.’ Next to it, he drew a heart. There are hearts too on the letters he sends to his mother from prison. ‘I miss you, I love you,’ he writes. A year separates that declarations of love to the Russian poet and the letters the teenager now writes from jail in Kansk, in Siberia, which he entered at the age of 14, on charges of terrorism.” Read more
