Today in Labor History August 21, 1752: French radical priest Jacques Roux (1752-1794) was born in Charente, France. He participated in the French Revolution and fought for a classless society and the abolition of private property. He also helped radicalize the Parisian working class. Roux was a leader of the far-left faction, Enrages, and was elected to the Paris Commune in 1791. He demanded that food be available for everyone and argued that the wealthy should executed if they horded it.

Roux is featured in a mission in the French Revolution-set game Assassin's Creed Unity. He is also portrayed in Peter Weiss's Marat/Sade. Here, Roux is dressed in a straight jacket in an asylum and the asylum directors cut off his dialogue to symbolize the state’s desire to restrain political radicals.

Today in Labor History July 22, 1877: A General Strike began in St. Louis, as part of the national Great Upheaval. The St. Louis strike is generally considered the first General Strike in U.S. history. It was organized by the communist Workingman’s Party and the Knights of Labor. In addition to joining in solidarity with striking rail workers, thousands in other trades came out to fight for the 8-hour day and an end to child labor. For nearly a week, workers controlled all functions of society. Black and white workers united, even though the unions were all segregated. At one rally, a black steamboat worker asked the crowd if they would stand behind levee workers, regardless of race. “We will!” they shouted back. Another speaker said, “The people are rising up in their might and declaring they will no longer submit to being oppressed by unproductive capital.”

Whereas most of the worker uprising that were occurring throughout the U.S. were spontaneous wildcat strikes (as most of the unions were opposed to the great strike), the situation in St. Louis was led by communists and was revolutionary. “There was a time in the history of France when the poor found themselves oppressed to such an extent that forbearance ceased to be a virtue, and hundreds of heads tumbled into the basket. That time may have arrived with us.” A cooper said this to a crowd of 10,000 workers in St. Louis, in July, 1877. He was referring to the Paris Commune, which happened just six years prior. Like the Parisian workers, the Saint Louis strikers openly called for the use of arms, not only to defend themselves against the violence of the militias and police, but for outright revolutionary aims: “All you have to do is to unite on one idea—that workingmen shall rule this country. What man makes, belongs to him, and the workingmen made this country.”

Karl Marx enthusiastically followed events during the Great Strike. He called it “the first uprising against the oligarchy of capital since the Civil War.” He predicted that it would inevitably be suppressed, but might still “be the point of origin for the creation of a serious workers’ party in the United States.” Ironically, many of the Saint Louis activists were followers of Ferdinand Lasalle, whom Marx despised. And some, like Albert Currlin, a Workingmen’s Party leader in Saint Louis, were outright racists, who mistrusted the black strikers and refused to work with them, undermining the success of the commune. Ultimately, 3,000 federal troops and 5,000 deputized police (i.e., vigilantes) ended the strike by killing at least 18 people and arresting at least 70.

I do not believe in the #individual as the greatest human #creative power and in the #private property as the only measure of #wealth.

Rather, I believe in the unity and creative power of the #commune as a space for development and #communal property as the measure of wealth.

Or maybe the fact that it's not a cult informed the fact that at the financial crisis, they assembed a board and ousted the guru rather than just getting really toxic/culty, doubling down on the direction the guru wanted - teach class, write books, be famous and make appearances. The leader didn't seem as narcissistic or predatory as some other famous gurus. Maybe it was an honest try at a #commune rather than #cult. 🤔 i want to believe, lol. Idk!! Future rabbithole!

I wonder if this group was really so close to making a commune work - i would love to see that happen tbh - or if the FBI attack (on a field of what turned out to be ragweed, but which financially destroyed them) hit just before a point where things would've turned toxically cultish in a bad way. Idk. I need to know more, lol.

Huh. Dd not know this one. In TN. AND dude's wife is THE Ina May Gaskin, famous midwife of the whole "natural" childbirth movement- it's one of the key ways women get told we're wrong. If you aren't in pain right now, you're womaning wrong, lol.

The #documentary focused on the better elements, nostalgia and some of the childhood memories. Religion sort of got slipped in there too. There are cultish elements w the main guy, but it's not a #cult... so many questions.

All I see is that you try to avoid accepting the truth that you'll inevitably end up with a form of governance - whether that's a #Communé or however it's organized is irrelevant.

Because for any society to function it needs some sort of organizing.

You can already see that at the level of a household!

Also that only works for small communities like a #Communé, and not for huge yet unavoidable structures like nations and states...

Daniel explores his homosexuality in #WestBerlin. Initially he opts for an almost heterosexual affair. He then probes further, swings by #Berlin's public toilets and pools. Only when he encounters a leftist, gay #commune he finds that pride, not conformity, is his way to living his life.
