''Freiheit'' (German for ''Freedom'') was a long-running anarchist journal established by Johann Most in 1879. It was known for advocacy of ''attentat'', or propaganda of the deed—revolutionary violence that could inspire people to revolution. Most began the German-language journal in London, aiming it at expatriate Germans and Austrians.〔Woodcock, p.373〕 He brought the publication with him when he immigrated to the United States just a few years later in 1882. ''Freiheit'', and Most, were not shy about criticizing fellow anarchists, and work published in ''Freiheit'' often fomented controversies in anarchist circles. For instance, Most and Benjamin Tucker carried out a well-publicized disagreement in the pages of their respective journals, and although Tucker championed Most's revolutionary philosophy later, the schism never healed.〔McElroy, Schism.〕 Some years later, Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman became involved with the ''Freiheit'' group, only to leave after conflicts with Most arose. When Berkman, inspired by Most's theory of the ''attentat'', was imprisoned for the attempted assassination of Henry Clay Frick, Most criticized Berkman's action. Goldman was infuriated and publicly took a horse-whip to Most at his lecture, demanding a proof or a retraction.〔Goldman, ''Living My Life''.〕 The journal's publication occasionally faltered when Most was imprisoned—at least once, for writings he published in ''Freiheit''〔"Lights Out". Most was charged with a misdemeanor for "Publication of an anarchical article" under New York Penal Code § 675. The article was a reprint and a reworking of "Murder vs. Murder", originally written by Karl Heinzen in the mid-19th century, and reprinted in ''Freiheit'' on September 7, 1901. Most lost an appeal and was sentenced to one year in prison.〕〔"John Most Sentenced", ''New York Times'', Oct. 15, 1901, p. 16.〕—but fellow anarchists kept the journal afloat during those times. When its charismatic founder and editor died in 1905, the publication began to ail. ''Freiheit'' ceased publication in 1910 after 28 years. ==Footnotes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Freiheit (1879)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
