My once and future collaborator Chaia is offering this 3-part online course:
"This class explores the tradition of Yiddish revolutionary folksong. Emerging from the revolutionary movements of early 20th century Eastern Europe, these songs carried the voices of workers and cultural activists who used them as tools of anti-fascist resistance, anti-Zionist organizing, and visions of Jewish communal identity."

I've been researching old Bundist songs for a workshop for a few weeks now and I can't believe I didn't know about this book till now. Arbeyt un Frayhayt, a collection of #Yiddish revolutionary, workers and folk songs mostly dating to 1903-05, published by Schmul Lehman in Warsaw in 1921.

#Yiddish #Bundism

This was obviously inspired by the historical persecution of Jewish people, but could just as easily apply to critics of Zionism within the Jewish community today, or LGBT people in Trump's USA.

Gotta shout out another great ep of
The Fire These Times: "The Rise of End-Times Fascism".

It's dark, but @naomiklein, @astradisastra
& @firethesetimes synthesize ideas that have been rattling in my head: #Bundism vs #Bunkerism!

Hard to summarize in a toot. Definitely listen!

As more people become disenchanted with their government and disillusioned with the identities they've been shoved into, this song will become even more relevant.

The Jewish Labor Bund was a socialist movement in Tsarist Russia that opposed Zionism and believed in fighting for one's political rights in one's own country, together with workers of all backgrounds. This is the side of Jewish history that Israel has tried to suppress.
