Events[edit]
1886 -- England: "Freedom" begins publication in London, as a monthly, in October 1886. From the start it was intended not as the mouthpiece of a particular group but as an independent voice in a wider movement.
1901 -- Leon Czolgosz, self-proclaimed anarchist, electrocuted for the assassination of US President McKinley. Emma Goldman is one of the few anarchists who refuses to disown him.
1918 -- Germany: Wilhelmshaven Revolt. Sailors mutiny, take over naval base, garrison & city of Kiehl; Soldiers, Sailors & Workers Councils elected. The German government falls on November 10.
1942 -- d.a. levy lives, Cleveland, Ohio. Poet.
1947 -- Belgium: Asger Jorn participates in the International Conference of Revolutionary Surrealism in Brussels.
1952 -- France: No More Flat Feet, a tract denouncing Charlie Chaplin signed by the Lettrist International (Serge Berna, Jean-Louis Brau, Guy-Ernest Debord, & Gil J. Wolman), is thrown into the crowd at a press conference for Chaplin's film Limelight.
1958 -- Boris Pasternak, under intense pressure from the Soviet government & press, wires the Swedish Royal Academy his "voluntary refusal" of the Nobel Prize for Literature. One of his crimes is to have written — in his novel, Dr. Zhivago — too sympathetically of the anarchists, & not kindly enough of the Bolsheviks.
1969 -- Paul McCartney is dead.
1979 -- "Up Against The Wall Street Journal" direct actions disrupt New York Stock Exchange & financial district on 50th Anniversary of the stock market crash of 1929. Over 1,000 arrested.
