Emma Goldman and Leon Czolgosz, Communist Revolutionary, Anarchist and Atheist

Source: © 1950 Funk and Wagnalls Encyclopedia

Emma Goldman, oft associated with the evils of Communism due to her anarchy and communist advocacy. Therefore upon renouncing the religion of Judaism and becoming an Atheist, adopted violent terrorist revolutionary activities. Her evils of anarchy and support of Communism spawned from her Atheist world-view. Sadly, to this day, practicing Jews who adhere to the faith of Judaism continue to be blamed for, and receive the brunt of blame for this big lie purported by anti-religious Rightwing Socialist fanatics who knowingly or unknowingly distort history to malign religions like Judaism, with the evils committed entirely by their own Atheists who became twisted socialist fanatics under either Communist regimes (International Socialism) leftwing or Fascist Regimes (National Socialism), rightwing. Either way, these quotes by Emma Goldman fail at making even the smallest hint of any allusions, other than her full, unequivocal renunciation of Judaism and all belief in God.

Emma Goldman was a hardline, militant Atheist.

Emma Goldman Speaks

I am not mislead by her meaning when she states she supports "spiritual emancipation of the human race". Communism aims at world overthrow. Her intent, like all Communists and Atheists is to convert the people of all nations to Atheism.

Russian-American anarchist, writer, publisher; eventually deported to Russia.
"The philosophy of Atheism represents a concept of life without any metaphysical Beyond or Divine Regulator. It is the concept of an actual, real world with its liberating, expanding and beautifying possibilities, as against an unreal world, which, with its spirits, oracles, and mean contentment has kept humanity in helpless degradation.
-- Emma Goldman, "The Philosophy of Atheism," in Goldman's Mother Earth journal, February, 1916

I was called before the head matron, a tall woman with a stolid face. She began taking my pedigree. "What religion?" was the first question. "None, I am an atheist." "Atheism is prohibited here. You will have to go to church." I replied that I would do nothing of the kind. I did not believe in anything the Church stood for and, not being a hypocrite, I would not attend.
-- Emma Goldman, having been sentenced to Blackwell's Island for a year for saying, at a mass rally at Union Square, "If they do not give you work, demand bread. If they deny you both, take bread. It is your sacred right!" Quoted in Living My Life, p. 133, quoted from Annie Laurie Gaylor, Women Without Superstition, p. 382.

"I do not believe in God, because I believe in man. Whatever his mistakes, man has for thousands of years past been working to undo the botched job your God has made.
-- Emma Goldman, speaking from a Detroit pulpit in 1898, quoted from Annie Laurie Gaylor, Women Without Superstition, p. 382

How anti-religious nazis and perhaps even anti-semitic communists attempt to squeeze "Jewish" out of those quotes, is anyone's guess.

Goldman, EMMA (1869-1940), RUSSIAN anarchist, born in the province of Kovno (now Kaunas). She spent her youth in Königsberg and St. Petersburg (now Kaliningrad and Leningrad, respectively). In 1886 she emigrated to the United States, where she became a leader of the anarchist movement, working in close association with Alexander Berkman (q.v.). After attackign the government in numerous speeches, she was arrested in 1893 and was sentenced to a year's imprisonment on Blackwell's Island, in New York City, for incitement to riot. Following her release in 1894, she lectured in England and Scotland. She also made lecture tours throughout the United States, and after 1906 was one of the principal contributors to Mother Earth, an anarchist periodical.
She expressed strong pacifistic views during World War I, denouncing the war as an imperialistic venture. In 1917 she was tried and convicted on a charge of conspiracy to violate the conscription laws, and was sentenced to two years' imprisonment, and a fine of $10,000. Shortly after her release in 1920 she was deported to Russia. At first a stanch admirer of the Soviet regime, she later voiced vehement criticisms of its policies and was expelled from the country. She spent some time in England, becoming a British subject through marriage to James Colton. In 1926 she went to Canada, and in succeeding years lectured widely in that country and in the United States. During the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), she worked for the Spanish Republican government in London and in Madrid. She stated the reasons for her changed opinion of the Soviet government in two books, My Disillusionment in Russia 1923-1924 and My Further Disillusionment in Russia (1925). Her other writings include Anarchism and Other Essays (1910), The Social Significance of the Modern Drama (1914), and an autobiography Living My Life (1931).

The Assassination of U.S. President William McKinley

Following a speech of incitement by Emma Goldman, anarchist Leon Czolgosz was inspired to assassinate the 25th President of the United States, William McKinley.

Funk and Wagnalls Encyclopedia ©1950 states:

CZOLGOSZ, LEON (1873-1901), American anarchist, assassin of President William McKinley. He was born in Detroit, Michigan and was a blacksmith by trade. Apparently believing in a terrorist type of anarchism, he took advantage of the appearance of President McKinley at a public reception in Buffalo, N.Y., to shoot the President (September 6, 1901). Czolgosz was immediately seized, and after the President's death, was tried before the State Supreme Court at Buffalo, convicted, and electrocuted.

Vynnytsa, Ukraine, June 1943.
Here trenches dating from 1937-1938 were opened and hundreds of bodies exhumed. The authorities had built a park and a summer theatre on the site. Similar trenches were discovered in Zhytomyr, Kamenets-Podolski, and other areas. Such macabre discoveries continue even today. In 1997, 1,100 bodies were exhumed in St. Petersburg, and another 9,000 were found in a mass grave in the forests of Karelia. ©D.R.

The Children of the Soviet Empire

And Now My Soul Is Hardened (Online version)
We will focus primarily on youths who spent all, or at least most, of their time in the street. Our gaze thus takes in juveniles who drifted out of families, as well as the more obvious millions orphaned, discarded, or otherwise separated involuntarily from parents. Those who remained at home will not be included, regardless of the abuse or neglect they may have experienced there. Soviet administrators responsible for raising indigent children inclined toward a similar sense of their mission’s scope, for even the narrowest definition of the besprizornye yielded more candidates than state institutions could absorb. The time when other youths, living with parents in unsatisfactory settings, could be lodged in children’s homes together with the nation’s orphans—a goal often avowed immediately following the Revolution—quickly receded far over the horizon.

Thus defined, the besprizornye represented first and foremost a stubborn challenge remaining to confront the Bolsheviks after their victory in the Civil War. The dismaying presence of countless young beggars and thieves underscored how deeply war and famine plague a society long after guns fall silent and crops return to fields. Even a wealthier and more experienced government than the one newly ensconced in Moscow would have been hard pressed to overcome rapidly the adversity bequeathed by nearly a decade of catastrophes. Later in the 1920s, though the street children’s ranks diminished considerably, factors such as rural poverty and the unraveling of traditional families spawned additional urchins at a rate that frustrated the government’s attempts to rid the country of their misfortune. As a result, in Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s estimation, any description of Soviet urban life in this period remains incomplete without attention to abandoned juveniles, so common were they in train stations, markets, and other public places.[7]

From Stalin and his lover aged 13
The story was too shocking to believe. But now that Stalin was dead, his successor Nikita Khrushchev decided he had to investigate the astonishing rumour about the monster's sexual depravity.
It was claimed that when he was in his 30s and before he became leader, Stalin had raped or seduced, even fathered a child with, a girl who was just 13 years old - and had been indicted for the under-age seduction by the police.
The tale had long been dismissed as just another piece of Western anti-Stalin propaganda[...] It had first surfaced soon after he took over from Lenin as Soviet dictator in 1924, appearing in the "scurrilous" tabloids and emigre journals in the West that were banned in the newly-formed Soviet Union.[...]during his reign of terror the rumour had all but disappeared - no one dared breathe a critical word about the tyrant in those years.
But on his death in 1953 it had resurfaced. And now Khrushchev, having heard the story of the under-age girl, had commissioned his KGB boss General Ivan Serov to investigate in great secrecy.
As Stalin's biographer, I had heard the story but it seemed so outrageous as to be incredible: like most historians, I simply believed that it was mere propaganda.
It did not sound like the Stalin we knew: he was married twice but usually he was portrayed, somewhat like Hitler, as a freakish inhuman monster, so unnaturally obsessed with power that he was uninterested in sex.
Yet more than 80 years on from when the rumours first appeared, I found myself examining a most extraordinary document among Stalin's papers in the so-called Presidential archives in Moscow, while researching for my new book on the young Stalin.
Marked top secret and signed by the KGB boss Serov, it was addressed to Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev and the Politburo.
It was dated 1956 - three years after Stalin's death - and spelt out the results of General Serov's investigation.
Serov reported back to Khrushchev that, amazingly, the entire story of Stalin's affair with a 13-year-old was true. Khrushchev showed it to the Politburo (including Stalin's long-serving henchman Molotov), who all signed it and then filed it in the deepest recesses of the archives where it has remained until now.
I was also able to find in the archives the memoirs of the girl herself, who was called Lidia. She wrote them during Stalin's reign, which is why they make no mention of any sex or the children she had by Stalin - that would have been suicidal.
Using all these and other archive documents, I constructed an astonishing picture of an unknown Stalin - one that painted him as a promiscuous and faithless serial seducer and libertine.
The picture was confirmed by the reminiscences of villagers who lived in the isolated hamlet that was the 13-year-old girl's home in Siberia.
This, then, is the true story of the under-age affair - the most shocking of many conducted during Stalin's mysterious life in the run-up to the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917.
In March 1914 Josef Stalin - a Georgian cobbler's son known to friends as Soso and comrades as Koba - was sentenced for his revolutionary activities by the Tsar to exile close to the Arctic Circle in a tiny hamlet named Kureika.
The place was a freezing hellhole, an isolated twilight world cut off from humanity in winter by the daylong darkness.
In Kureika, only the reindeer, snowfoxes and Tungus indigenous tribesmen could really function in deep midwinter. Everyone wore reindeer fur.
The hamlet contained 67 villagers - 38 men and 29 women - all packed into just eight ramshackle izbas or wooden peasant shacks.
Among them were seven orphans from the same family - the Pereprygins - of whom the youngest was 13-year-old Lidia.
She immediately noticed Stalin, not just because of his good looks but also because he was hopelessly underdressed with only a light coat.
Before long, he was sporting the full local outfit - from boots to hat - of reindeer fur, all of it provided by Lidia Pereprygina.
Stalin in those days was slim, attractive, charming, an accomplished poet and educated in the priesthood, but also a pitiless Marxist terrorist and brutal gangster boss - a Red Godfather who had funded Lenin's Bolsheviks with a series of audaciously bloody acts of bank robbery, piracy and racketeering.
Lidia was a schoolgirl orphan living on the remote frontier where girls matured early.
Some time in the early summer of 1914, the 35-year-old Stalin embarked on an affair with Lidia.
While not admitting to anything explicit in her memoirs, we catch a glimpse in them of Stalin and Lidia together staggering from drinking bout to drinking bout, because she writes of their drunken dancing and singsongs: "In his spare time, Stalin like to go to evening dances - he could be very jolly too. He loved to sing and dance."
These memoirs of Stalin's 13-year-old mistress - recorded 20 years later at the height of his dictatorship, while she remained a Siberian housewife - were clearly constrained.

Marxists indoctrinating the young through Hollywood

Communist propaganda, naturally will attempt to turn its most notorious criminals into "heros" and "freedom fighters". I will not waste any time on explanations as to why Stalin was a monster. Today, thanks to a lift on much of the censorship in eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union and stories from the east being heard for the first time, Stalin is synonymous with the word "Genocide". Yet, there are Marxists hard at work to miseducate and brainwash young generations into becoming "good communists". Here are two such cartoons brought to my attention. Stalin, a genocidal maniac is portrayed as a hero, liberator and champion for freedom. If Marxists will lie about this, they will lie about anything.

Cartoon #1 : My "Buddy" Stalin

Cartoon #2 : Stalin is portrayed as a star member of the "Freedom League". Tell that to the 50 Million who died under his regime of terror.

Stalin's Jews
We mustn't forget that some of greatest murderers of modern times were Jewish
"In his new, highly praised book "The War of the World, "Historian Niall Ferguson writes that no revolution in the history of mankind devoured its children with the same unrestrained appetite as did the Soviet revolution. In his book on the Stalinist purges, Tel Aviv University's Dr. Igal Halfin writes that Stalinist violence was unique in that it was directed internally. Lenin, Stalin, and their successors could not have carried out their deeds without wide-scale cooperation of disciplined "terror officials," cruel interrogators, snitches, executioners, guards, judges, perverts, and many bleeding hearts who were members of the progressive Western Left and were deceived by the Soviet regime of horror and even provided it with a kosher certificate."
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3342999,00.html

I heartily agree with the "...wide-scale cooperation of disciplined... perverts..."

However, the problem with the article is that the Communist party dogma demands all members be ATHEIST. A faithful believer in Judaism, keeping in tradition with Jewish faith.. was forbidden to enlist in the Communist Party, much less carry out high level atrocities like those discussed in the article.
