Today in Labor History September 9, 1828: Leo Tolstoy, Russian author and playwright was born. He is most famous for novels like Anna Karina, and War and Peace. He chose the name for the latter after reading French anarchist Proudhon’s publication called War and Peace. Tolstoy also wrote many short stories, an autobiography and many works of nonfiction. After witnessing a public execution in 1857, he wrote: "The truth is that the State is a conspiracy designed not only to exploit, but above all to corrupt its citizens ... Henceforth, I shall never serve any government anywhere." In the 1870s, he experienced a profound spiritual awakening, which led him to become a Christian anarchist and pacifist, and which he wrote about in his non-fiction work Confession (1882). He also wrote about nonviolent resistance in The Kingdom of God Is Within You (1894), which influenced Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr. and Wittgenstein. He was repeatedly nominated for Nobel prizes in both literature and peace.

I think I need a revolution
a personal revolution
But I don't know where to start.
There's this terrifying project
The sum of all I've learned
a testament
I work on it every morning
and I think about it at night
thousands of notes scattered in dozens of notebooks
a last book
written with my grief
I have the feeling that after this
I might
find peace
I must lose a world
But I don't even know yet
I haven't decided yet
In what language I will write it

Today in Labor History August 16, 1819: Police attacked unemployed workers demonstrating in St. Peter's Field, Manchester, England. When the cavalry charged, at least 18 people died and over 600 were injured. The event became know as the Peterloo Massacre, named for the Battle of Waterloo, where many of the massacre victims had fought just four years earlier. Following the Napoleonic Wars there was an acute economic slump, terrible unemployment and crop failures, all worsened by the Corn Laws, which kept bread prices high. Only 11% of adult males had the vote. Radical reformers tried to mobilize the masses to force the government to back down. The movement was particularly strong in the north-west, where the Manchester Patriotic Union organized the mass rally for Peter’s Field. As soon as the meeting began, local magistrates tried to arrest working class radical, Henry Hunt, and several others. Hunt inspired the Chartist movement, which came shortly after Peterloo.

John Lees, who later died from wounds he received at the massacre, had been present at the Battle of Waterloo. Before his death, he said that he had never been in such danger as at Peterloo: "At Waterloo there was man to man but there it was downright murder." In the wake of the massacre, the government passed the Six Acts, to suppress any further attempts at radical reform. The event also led indirectly to the founding of the Manchester Guardian newspaper.

Percy Bysshe Shelley wrote about the massacre in his poem, “The Masque of Anarchy.” The authorities censored it until 1832, ten years after his death. Mike Leigh’s 2018 film Peterloo is an excellent portrayal of the massacre, and the events leading up to it. Many writers have written novels about Peterloo, including the relatively recent “Song of Peterloo,” by Carolyn O'Brien, and “All the People,” Jeff Kaye. However, perhaps the most important is Isabella Banks's 1876 novel, “The Manchester Man,” since she was there when it happened and included testimonies from people who were involved.

Some men wish evil and accomplish it
But most men, when they work in that machine,
Just let it happen somewhere in the wheels.
The fault is no decisive, villainous knife
But the dull saw that is the routine mind.

John Brown’s Body
Stephen Vincent Benet

There’s something of the “banality of evil” in this. Dutifully carrying out the task assigned without consideration of its consequences. Something of denial of culpability. For all the big evil men of history there are throngs of unexceptional box checkers and water carriers of doom.

Ich habe gerade ein paar #kurzgeschichten von James #Tiptree Jr. gelesen. Kennt keiner mehr, ist so 70'er Jahre SciFi.

Tiptree war bisher nicht auf meiner "known Authors"-Liste. Mag sein, das ich schon mal was von ____ gelesen hatte. Warum
___ ?

Wer sich den Spaß nicht verderben will, liest erst die Einleitung von Silverberg zu >Warm Worlds and Otherwise< und ***danach*** eine Bio.

@virtuosew excellent idea and a great ‘make inspired by a writer’ @makershour would be very interested in your progress I am sure. There’s quite a lot of #makers and #literature connections. I look forward to the updates.

Born into slavery around 1818, Frederick Douglass became a key leader of the abolitionist movement.

He was addressing the Rochester Ladies’ Anti-Slavery Society.

James Earl Jones reads the historic address during a performance of Voices of a People’s History of the United States, which was co-edited by Howard #Zinn. The late great historian introduces the address.
