Anarchy (magazines)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Under the title Die Anarchy , at least four anarchist journals appeared from 1893 to 1985 and two journals of the same name from 1969 and 1975 with the title Anarchie . Most of these press media were closely related to each other and to previous and subsequent publications.

meaning

The author Liselotte Maas was of the opinion that a large part of the anarchist (exile) magazines and newspapers were only marginal phenomena and the author Petra Weber constant that the anarchist or early socialist publications "are mostly only available in special libraries and archives". The author Jochen Schmück wrote, among other things, a critical remark about the libertarian press media: “This starting position, binding for all currents of anarchism, which in practice gave priority to Enlightenment propaganda over all other political means, gave rise to the high status that the Press in the history of anarchism as a whole. (....) As indispensable as the press was as a constituent element and link for the anarchist movement, the role that this medium played within the organizational development process of anarchism often proved to be politically destabilizing due to the primacy of the “pure” Enlightenment ”.

history

The anarchy

1893

  • The anarchy appeared in Vienna under the publisher's code name “Ravachol” and the alleged “Druck der kk Staatsdruckerei in Wien” with a one-time edition in December.
  • In London, C. Fröhlich published a number of the same name, followed by "The Burglar" and "The Revenge"

1949

  • Published in Hamburg by Carl Langer or in London by John Olday (who also published the magazine Der Bakunist ). The subtitle stated was “Edited with the help of Italian comrades”. With an article reprint by Max Nettlaus “Russia and Socialism” and an article “What is anarchy?” Addresses for referring to libertarian literature in Paris, Amsterdam, London, Graz and Berlin followed.

1969

  • With the title anarchy , the “Working Group for Anarchist Philosophy” (AfaP), with the collaboration of Uwe Timm and editorially supervised by Reinhold Ellenrieder in the publishing house “Ca Ira Presse”, published a one-time edition. The successor was Die Anarchy in Berlin (1975). The AfaP should actually publish the results of its work. The editor tried to publish a “theoretical re-establishment” with contemporary findings from psychoanalysis and cybernetics under the heading “Practical Anarchism”. In No. 1 it was pointed out: “With anarchy we want to inform and at the same time stimulate the broadest possible discussion. We are primarily concerned with the open questions of anarchist theory "

1975

  • An “Anarchist-Socialist Scripture” (subtitle) appeared in Heidelberg until 1991 with the title Die Anarchy . There was probably a libertarian orientation, even if the contradictory reference to "anarcho-Stalinists" appeared, although this could also be meant ironically. An "advertisement" for the RAF is said to have appeared in No. 14 . Thereupon a house search was carried out in March 1987. However, the proceedings were discontinued. The magazine appeared monthly under the editorship of "Rolf F * cker" and was considered a curiosity .
  • In 1975 in Berlin and London the anarchie was published as a magazine, edited by Reinhold Duda and Abraham Janeck. The predecessor was the magazine of the same name from 1969. In terms of content, the magazine wanted to provoke: to confront the anarchist worldview with technical and scientific progress as well as future social problems.

background

The following predecessor and successor magazines were published in direct relation to Die Anarchy , edited by Conrad Fröhlich, who also published in the magazine Die Autonomie .

  • Der Communist , an anarchist magazine with the subtitle "Property is theft". The first edition appeared in London on April 2, 1892 with a total of 19 editions. Two of them in Italian, Il Communista , and one in French, Le Communiste . Successors were The Burglar, Londoner Arbeiter-Zeitung, Die Rache, Der Revolutionär and Die Anarchy .
  • The Revolutionary , published in London from 1892 to 1893 in five editions. No. 1 appeared on August 6, 1892. It was followed by The Burglar and the Londoner Arbeiter-Zeitung .
  • The Burglar , published in London in an edition in 1893. This one-time edition was considered a curiosity. The author Georg Adler suspected a police provocation paper. It cannot be proven whether Conrad Fröhlich was the actual editor. The Communist and Die Rache can be regarded as the predecessor and the Londoner Arbeiter-Zeitung as the successor .
  • The Vengeance was published in London by Fröhlich in six editions in 1893. The successors were the Londoner Arbeiter-Zeitung and Die Anarchy . The unproven suspicion was also expressed in this magazine that it could be a provocation paper from the police.
  • Londoner Arbeiter-Zeitung , editors were Stefan Fabianowicz and C. Fröhlich. Also published in London from January 2, 1895 to January 14, 1899 with a total of 23 issues. The subtitle read: "Completely Independent International Body". Predecessors were The Burglar , The Anarchy and The Vengeance . This magazine is not to be confused with the "Londoner Arbeiter-Zeitung", published from 1886 to 1887. Published by the "Communist Workers' Education Association" (CABV), Ferdinand Gilles and Jens N. Christensen. From No. 4 it was renamed "London Free Press". A more social democratic magazine with less libertarian orientation. According to the historian Max Nettlau, F. Gilles took a federalist position and was an opponent of anarchism.
