Demokratie ist die heilige Kuh. Ist sie wirklich die beste, gar die einzige Methode, um Freiheit, Frieden und Wohlstand zu bewahren? Stefan Blankertz gibt, basierend auf Vorarbeiten u.a. von Emma Goldman und Gustav Landauer, notwendig provokative Antworten in einer Zeit, in der die Demokratie zwischen der Schere von Rechts und Links immer mehr die Form des schon überwunden geglaubten Totalitarismus annimmt. Der Titel »Verschwinde, Staat!« stellt eine Hommage dar an den Ethnologen von herrschaftsfreien Stämmen, Christian Sigrist.Der Band enthält einen Vortrag aus dem Jahr 1909 von Emma Goldman (1869-1940), russisch-amerikanische Anarchistin und Vorkämpferin des Feminismus, über »Minderheiten und Mehrheiten«, dem der Übersetzer Gustav Landauer den Titel »Die Masse« gab, sowie zwei Beiträge von Gustav Landauer (1870-1919), Sozialist und 1919 wegen seiner Beteiligung an der Münchner Räterepublik ermordet, über die Verwirrung des Staats mit der Nation aus den Jahren 1911 und 1915.

Emma Goldman is one of the most celebrated activists and philosophers of the early 20th century, admired and reviled for her anarchist ideas and vociferous support of free speech and personal liberation.A polarizing figure in life, Emma Goldman was among the first advocates of birth control for women. From 1900 to 1920 she was in and out of jail in the United States on charges of illegally promoting contraception, inciting riots in favor of her social and economic causes, and discouraging potential recruits to avoid the draft for World War I. Although Goldman initially supported the Bolshevik Revolution, the resulting Soviet Union's repressiveness caused an abrupt reversal in her opinion.Goldman's narrative is thorough yet compelling; her childhood in Russia, her emigration to the USA as a teenager, and her attraction to anarchist and social causes is told.

The Modern Drama, as all modern literature, mirrors the complex struggle of life... -Emma Goldman, in the Foreword With her reputation as a political radical, it is often forgotten that much of Emma Goldman's activism was rooted in the arts. As a member of The Progressive Stage Society, a founding force in the experimental theater movement, and through her work as a theatrical manager herself, she moved in quite artistic circles. And in these 1914 essays, adapted from a lecture series, she turned her passionate and philosophical eye on the stage, blending social commentary and theatrical criticism as she dissects: · Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House and An Enemy of the People · August Strindberg's Miss Julie and Comrades · Edmond Rostand's Chantecler · George Bernard Shaw's Mrs. Warren's Profession and Major Barbara · William Butler Yeats's Where There Is Nothing · Anton Chekhov's The Seagull and The Cherry Orchard · Leonid Andreyev's King Hunger and others from Scandinavia, Germany, France, England, Ireland, and Russia who were the "social iconoclasts" of her time... and ours.

Anarchist and feminist EMMA GOLDMAN (1869-1940) is one of the towering figures in global radicalism of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in Lithuania, she emigrated to the United States as a teenager, was deported in 1919 for her criticism of the U.S. military draft in World War I, and died in Toronto after a globetrotting life. An early advocate of birth control, women's rights, and workers unions, she was an important and influential figure in such far-flung geopolitical events as the Russian Revolution and the Spanish Civil War. Among her many books are My Disillusionment in Russia (1925) and Living My Life (1931).

Destruction and violence! How is the ordinary man to know that the most violent element in society is ignorance; that it's power of destruction is the very thing Anarchism is combating?- Emma Goldman, from "Anarchism: What It Really Stands For"From the turn of the 20th century to the turn of the 21st, the fiery words of "notorious" anarchist Emma Goldman continue to echo with passion, insight, and intelligence. Beyond the title essay, Goldman's impassioned calls for equality, individual freedom, and social justice encompass:. Minorities versus Majorities. The Psychology of Political Violence. Prisons: A Social Crime and Failure. Patriotism: A Menace to Liberty. The Hypocrisy of Puritanism. The Traffic in Women. The Tragedy of Women's Emancipation. Marriage and Love. The Drama: A Powerful Disseminator of Radical Thought. and more.They were prophetic when they were first published in 1910, but these essays demonstrate that even today Goldman, a thinker of profound wisdom, has not yet seen her time come.Also available from Cosimo Classics: The Social Significance of Modern Drama, by Emma Goldman.Anarchist and feminist EMMA GOLDMAN (1869-1940) is one of the towering figures in global radicalism of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
