Emma Goldman, born on this day in 1869, was an anarchist writer and activist in the United States whose works, including "Anarchism and Other Essays" and her journal Mother Earth, influenced anarchist movements all over the world.
Attracted to anarchism after the Haymarket affair, Goldman became a renowned writer and lecturer. She and anarchist writer Alexander Berkman, her lover and lifelong friend, planned to assassinate industrialist and financier Henry Clay Frick as an act of "propaganda of the deed".
Frick survived the attempt on his life, and Berkman was sentenced to 22 years in prison. Goldman was imprisoned several times in the years that followed for "inciting to riot" and illegally distributing information about birth control.
After their release from prison, Goldman and Berkman were again arrested and deported to Russia. Initially supportive of the October Revolution that brought the Bolsheviks to power, Goldman changed her opinion in the wake of the Kronstadt rebellion, denouncing the Soviet Union for its repression of political dissent. She left the Soviet Union and, in 1923, published a book about her experiences, "My Disillusionment in Russia".
Goldman was an extremely well-known anarchist in her lifetime, with a reputation as a powerful orator. Her writing and lectures spanned a wide variety of issues, including prisons, atheism, freedom of speech, militarism, capitalism, free love, and homosexuality.
"If I can't dance, I don't want to be part of your revolution."

See again you reply like a bot regardless of what the message contains. Take another hit of weed you old f_g, what else have you got to do? You'll never feel good again. You have no prospects. You've only ever desired a political dead end. You just act weird online. You're harassing a literal teenager for nudes

The site where an LGBT organization saying that a school shooter's heinous crime was "sadly the only effective way they could be seen" gets upvoted is going to tell me what's normal. I already told you what's normal. Now you're finding out the democrats never liked you. Should have listened to me

Shut up you pestilent cracker I spent the whole weekend drinking on the beach with people from school. No covid. No mosquitos. Keep concocting more delusions
You are the people trying to tell me to see the world through twitch streams. I run circles around you people. All day you seethe in here. I crack open the trapdoor to try to let some fresh air in and you screech like the cannibal livestock in The Road.

There's a thread rn where people are telling me it's fine to use nazi dogwhistles because in the context of Twitch/Breadtube it means being against Caleb Maupin. Red brown alliance. That phrase was created to 1.) rewrite wwii history 2.) punish the cpusa for being friendly to cuba and the ussr

I already did dumbass I post faster than you
To expand on this and be serious: I don't need to give up my life to post like you do. See this is how you tell on yourselves you don't understand this sad little corner of the internet is easy for me to piss all over that's why you need your mods. I got big on twitter, insta, reddit, facebook, youtube (just poops, not posting so ignore that), it's all easy. I can't even legally drink or smoke. I helped get a socialist councilwoman elected. I'm in a union. I don't brag about that because ITS NOT ENOUGH FOR ME AND IT SHOULDNT BE. NOTHING IS. TIME IS RUNNING OUT. THE SEA IS COMING
