Karl Hess: A Life on the (Right) Left (and Right)

    Karl Hess: A Life on the (Right) Left (and Right) Introduction. Focus of This Paper Over the past decade or more, I’ve done a considerable number of C4SS studies on particular anarchist thinkers. Since my formal titles at Center for a Stateless Society include Karl Hess Chair of Social Theory, it’s probably well...

“Liberty … is not a box into which people are forced. Liberty is a space in which people may live. It does not tell you how they will live. It says, eternally, only that we can.”
- #KarlHess, Anarchism Without Hyphens (1980)

“Through a series of unfortunate but certainly understandable distortions of political terminology, the [modern American] liberal position has come to be known as a left-wing position. Actually, it lies right alongside the conservative tradition, down toward the middle of the line, but decidedly, I think, to the right of its center. Liberals believe in concentrated power — in the hands of liberals, the supposedly educated and genteel elite.”

- #KarlHess, 1975

Anyone familiar with Karl Hess (#KarlHess)? I can't find any free work online (except from #C4SS) but I love everything I've read.
