The Original Luigi

Today in Labor History February 22, 1918: At the height of the first Red Scare, U.S. authorities raided the office of “Cronaca Sovversiva.” Sacco and Vanzetti had written for this anarchist paper and donated money to it. It was their first documented link to the anarchist movement. Luigi Galleani published the paper from 1903 to 1920. He came to the U.S. in 1901 after escaping from an Italian prison. He participated in the Paterson silk strike where he was wounded and charged with rioting.

Today in Labor History September 16, 1920: A bomb exploded outside the J.P. Morgan Company on Wall Street, killing 30 and injuring over 100. Authorities blamed "anarchists," forcing many to flee to Russia. The bombing was never solved, although investigators and historians now believe it was carried out by Galleanists (Italian anarchists). In particular, there is evidence that Mario Buda (1884–1963) was responsible and did it to avenge the arrests of his associates, Sacco and Vanzetti. The Wall Street bomb killed more people than the 1910 bombing of the Los Angeles Times building, which had been the deadliest terrorist act in the U.S. Several authors have written about the bombing “The Day Wall Street Exploded,” by Beverly Gage; “The Death Instinct,” by Jed Rubenfeld, and “Buda's Wagon: A Brief History of the Car Bomb,” by Mike Davis

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1927, the US murdered two innocent men simply because they were #anarchists. No evidence linked them to the crime with which they were charged; they were prosecuted on a caricature of their beliefs. We must fight for the justice #SaccoAndVanzetti deserved.

A 90 años de la ejecución de Sacco y Vanzetti - Todo Por Hacer

“El enemigo nos quiere muertos y nos tendrá muertos para defender el privilegio y la tiranía, para humillaros, para acobardaos, para venceros, destruiros y encadenar los pueblos al carro de su esclavitud (…) Y este mismo enemigo, clava sus inmundos tentáculos en la carne de todos los pueblos de la Tierra, prepara el más grande militarismo del mundo y se apresta a esclavizar la entera humanidad. Hay que aplastarle la cabeza”. Estas son algunas de las últimas palabras de Bartolomeo Vanzetti, inmigrante italiano y anarquista, ejecutado hace 90 años (el día 23 de agosto es el aniversario de su muerte) junto a su compañero, Niccola Sacco, por un delito que no cometieron. Su juicio fue crónica de una condena anunciada

Todo Por Hacer

Today in Labor History July 8, 1898: May Picqueray was born. She was a French anarchist, trade unionist and pacifist, who published the pacifist, anti-militarist periodical Le Réfractaire from 1974 to 1983. In 1921, in response to the silence of the French press on the convictions of Sacco and Vanzetti, she sent a parcel bomb containing a defensive grenade and leaflets to the American embassy. Her efforts helped mobilize French journalists, without harming any people and only causing damage to material. In 1922, as a delegate of the Metalworkers union, she visited Moscow, where she climbed on a table full of Red Trade Union officials to denounce their having a luxurious banquet while the common people starved. She refused to shake hands with Trotsky because of his responsibility for crushing the Kronstadt rebellion, and his betrayal of Nestor Makhno. During the Spanish Civil War, she helped transport orphans out of the country. During World War II, she helped people escape French concentration camps. She also was a participant in the French uprising of May 1968, participated in anti-nuclear campaigns and supported war resisters.
