Uchiyama Gudō’s Anarchist Buddhism

From Rethinking the World in East Asia 1850s-1990s

The Impact of International Socialism on Japanese Buddhism

Uchiyama Gudō’s background in Buddhism inspired his socialist beliefs; therefore, he understood socialism and anarchism not as departures from Buddhism, but as natural expressions of Buddhist egalitarianism. What he failed to grasp, however, were the conflicting natures of Buddhism’s inner liberation and anarchism’s outer revolution.

Boston Prosecutors Invoke Law Used Against Anarchists to Charge Protesters

From The New York Times

Four Boston police officers were injured in a confrontation near Boston Common with more than 200 protesters who the police said had refused to clear the roadway. Those arrested ranged in age from 19 to 28 and included students from at least two area colleges. All were to be charged with inciting a riot, a felony charge that is also known as “promotion of anarchy,” with origins in early 20th-century fears of anarchist violence.

The Selected Writings of Andrej Klemenčič, 1890-1907

From The Transmetropolitan Review

Andrej Klemenčič was born on November 30, 1867 in the town of Spodnja Šiška, just north of Ljubljana, the historical capital of Slovenia. At the time of Andrej’s birth, Slovenia was under the rule of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and he grew up under their despotic reign until 1880 when he began to wander across the Earth. This unique journey not only made Andrej a committed anarchist, it eventually delivered him to the industrial dystopia of the United States.
