War and Resistance in Bloomsbury

On December 20th, I will be doing a special afternoon walk on War and Resistance as a complimentary event to a fabulous Philosophy Football evening cabaret marking the Christmas truce and football matches between British and German soldiers in 1914. The 2-hour walk will focus on anti-war activism in London before and during World War 1 and will take place in the Bloomsbury area. We will end by a number 8 bus stop so that walkers going to the evening event can get a bus almost to the door. At the moment just over half the walk places have been booked so please book soon to guarantee a place. The walk costs £3; the evening event £9.99. All bookings for the walk and/or the evening event should be done through: http://www.philosophyfootball.com/view_item.php?pid=1039

Stop the First World War: 1914 and the Schism in International Anarchism

1914 and the Schism in International Anarchism

Pietro Dipaola

The outbreak of the First World War caused an irreparable schism in the international anarchist community. Many of the protagonists in this harsh dispute lived in exile in London, including the chief adversarie: the Russian, (Prince) Petr Kropotkin, who supported the Entente, and the Italian Errico Malatesta who argued that the ‘only acceptable war was the fight of the oppressed against the oppressors’.

Pietro Dipaola’s talk reconstructs this debate and focuses on some of the activities and the repression of the anarchists including the interment in Alexandra Palace of the German anarchist Rudolf Rocker and the imprisonment of his companion Milly Witcop.
