Fritz Köster
Fritz Köster (1855–1934) was a German anarcho-syndicalist and trade unionist. Biography Born in 1855 in Rodenberg, Hesse (now in Lower Saxony), Köster was active in the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) starting in the early 1880s. He participated in the socialist movement in Groß Ottersleben, near Magdeburg, which the Anti-Socialist Laws made illegal at the time. He was a leader in the town's trade union and was sentenced to prison multiple times, including in 1886 for three months for libel and in 1887 for eighteen months for distributing literature. After the Anti-Socialist Laws ended in 1890, Köster joined the ''Jungen'' opposition in the Magdeburg SPD and served as Wanzleben delegate at the SPD convention. He became editor of the ''Magdeburger Volkstimme'' and was sentenced to prison again for its articles but fled in 1891 instead of serving. In Zurich, Switzerland, throughout the 1890s, he was active in various unions and the Swiss anarchist movement. Police ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Anarcho-syndicalist
Anarcho-syndicalism is an anarchist organisational model that centres trade unions as a vehicle for class conflict. Drawing from the theory of libertarian socialism and the practice of syndicalism, anarcho-syndicalism sees trade unions as both a means to achieve immediate improvements to working conditions and to build towards a social revolution in the form of a general strike, with the ultimate aim of abolishing the state and capitalism. Anarcho-syndicalists consider trade unions to be the prefiguration of a post-capitalist society and seek to use them in order to establish workers' control of production and distribution. An anti-political ideology, anarcho-syndicalism rejects political parties and participation in parliamentary politics, considering them to be a corrupting influence on the labour movement. In order to achieve their material and economic goals, anarcho-syndicalists instead practice direct action in the form of strike actions, boycotts and sabotage. Ana ...

Der Pionier
''Der Pionier'' () was one of two official organs of the radical socialist Free Association of German Trade Unions (FVdG). With its founding in 1897, the FVdG also started the newspaper ''Einigkeit'' (''Unity'') as its official organ. As the FVdG, came into conflict with the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) more and more from 1903 on, anarchists, especially Fritz Köster and Andreas Kleinlein gained influence in the union federation. After the SPD and the FVdG completely severed relations in 1908, the founding of another organ directed against the press of the SPD to convince workers to leave the party and join the FVdG was considered. The question was discussed at the FVdG congresses in 1908 and 1910 and the unionists decided to start ''Der Pionier''. The first issue appeared in the fall of 1911 and the newspaper was published on a weekly basis from there on. As it was edited by the anarchist Fritz Köster, ''Der Pionier'' used a much more aggressive tone than ''Einigkei ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Anarchism In Germany
German individualist philosopher Max Stirner became an important early influence in anarchism. Afterwards Johann Most became an important anarchist propagandist in both Germany and in the United States. In the late 19th century and early 20th century there appeared individualist anarchists influenced by Stirner such as John Henry Mackay, Adolf Brand and Anselm Ruest (Ernst Samuel) and Mynona (Salomo Friedlaender). The anarchists Gustav Landauer, Silvio Gesell and Erich Mühsam had important leadership positions within the revolutionary councilist structures during the uprising at the late 1910s known as Bavarian Soviet Republic."The Munich Soviet (or "Council Republic") of 1919 exhibited certain features of the TAZ, even though – like most revolutions – its stated goals were not exactly "temporary." Gustav Landauer's participation as Minister of Culture along with Silvio Gesell as Minister of Economics and other anti-authoritarian and extreme libertarian socialists such a ...
