This Day In Anarchist History - November 18 - The Rio de Janeiro Uprising
This day in Anarchist History, Nov 18th 1918 we remember the Rio de Janeiro anarchist insurrection.
In the months leading up to the Rio de Janeiro anarchist insurrection, anarchists had been planning to overthrow the Brazilian state by building a broad coalition of workers and unions.
Their one fatal flaw was counting on low level military to join them and their attack failed because of a snitch within those ranks.
Despite it’s ultimate failure this is often considered the high water mark of anarchism in the territories controlled by the state of Brazil.

Firestorm BooksOn Wednesday of next week, we're hosting a virtual conversation on the history of rebellion explored in the new book "Anarchy in the Big Easy." Author Max Cafard and illustrator Vulpes will be joined by artists Liz Lessner and Mat Keel to share their graphic account of the quest for freedom in radical and revolutionary New Orleans!
From maroon communities and labor militancy to jazz music and armed community defense, "Anarchy in the Big Easy" pairs the storytelling of a lifelong New Orleanian with the striking images of a comix artist based in the Gulf South.

“The larger the town the less collectivization. The smaller the village the deeper the communist spirit, the more strongly the new economic forms take root. This fact contradicts Marxist conceptions, which affirm that socialism and communism will first be realized by the masses of the industrial proletariat; then the petty bourgeoisie will come along, and finally the agricultural population. This prophecy is based on the false premise that socialism and communism are only the result of the creation of a proletariat, of poverty, of industrialization. The Aragon peasants have demonstrated by example that industrialization is not a prior condition for libertarian communism.”
- Augustin Souchy Bauer

This Sunday, March 9th, our co-op has the honor of welcoming historian Kenyon Zimmer for a virtual event on the neglected history of Jewish anarchism in the United States. Last year during the anarchist bookfair, Kenyon presented in-person on the work of Joseph Cohen, who in 1945 published "The Jewish Anarchist Movement in America," an essential Yiddish-language study. Now he returns to continue the conversation with writers Shane Burley ("Safety Through Solidarity: A Radical Guide to Fighting Antisemitism") and Anna Elena Torres ("With Freedom in Our Ears: Histories of Jewish Anarchism").
Register for this free online event and find a copy of Kenyon's editted and annotated edition of "The Jewish Anarchist Movement in America" at https://firestorm.coop/events/3338-rediscovering-a-history-of-jewish-anarchism.html. Can't make the event but still want to listen in? Sign up and we'll send you the recording to stream at your convenience!
