The Anarchist Agitator Andrej Klemenčič: A Biography

From The Transmetropolitan Review

Andrej Klemenčič is an anarchist that you’ve never heard of. After he allegedly died in 1908, not a single obituary was written for him in any anarchist periodical. By the 1930s, the only traces of his existence were some old newspapers and tattered copies of The 1905 Proceedings of the Founding Convention of the Industrial Workers of the World, a verbatim transcription of the debates and resolutions that shaped the initial IWW. Among the founders listed in this text was Andrej Klemenčič, identified as the mysterious A. Klemensic.

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.
