from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Knowledge and Liberation was an Austrian , anarchist magazine, edited by Pierre Ramus , and published from 1918 to 1933, 1927 to 1928 under the title Der Anarchist .

history

The subtitle of the magazine read: “Organ of domineering socialism. For social and spiritual new culture in the sense of peace, non-violence and individual self-determination for free people and those who want to become one. "Several organizations took part in the publication: the Federation of the Universal Union of Anarchists , the Anarchists Youth International , the International Anti-Militarist Bureau against War and Reaction , the International Anti -Militarist Association , the International of Conscientious Objectors , the International Union for Self-Armament and the International Workers' Association of Anarchism and Anarchosyndicalism and the "Mundism" horizon group . The publication, published by the publisher of the same name, was also the newsletter of the Association of Unruly Socialists in Austria around 1925 .

In 1927 Ramus was in charge of the magazine The Anarchist . Knowledge and Liberation saw itself as the successor magazine to the magazine Wohlstand für Alle (December 1907 to July 1914), also published by P. Ramus, and was overseen by the same editorial team: Johann Magerer, Karl Schwabel, Otto Lustig and Rudolf Kowaltschik. Awareness and Liberation campaigned for communist anarchism and anti-authoritarian socialism (according to the magazine: "domineering socialism"). The editors did not want to make a profit from the sale of the magazine. If necessary, this should be invested in the publisher for the publication of books and magazines and in a fund that was set up to purchase land. The land should be free for every liberal socialist to settle.

The magazine was initially published twice a month, later twice a week, and then weekly. Two special editions appeared, Sacco and Vanzetti (1927) and Antimilitaristen (1928). From 1927 the magazine appeared under the title Der Anarchist until 1928; from 1928 to 1933 the magazine appeared again under the old name Knowledge and Liberation , with content for individual self-determination, non-violence and social, spiritual change. The journal Liberation , published by R. Umek, E. Riedel and Ferdinand Groß in Graz (Austria) in 1976 , saw itself in the tradition of "Knowledge and Liberation".
