- Title
Herald of the future? Emma Goldman, Friedrich Nietzsche and the anarchist as superman.
- Authors
Morgan, Kevin
- Abstract
This article focuses on the life and work of Emma Goldman as an exemplar of wider issues and currents in the revolutionary left in the twentieth century, notably the tensions between libertarianism and communism. The focus is on Goldman's fascination with and appropriation of elements of Nietzsche's iconoclastic philosophy at a time when anarchism was travelling in the opposite direction towards revolutionary trade unionism and ultimately anarcho-syndicalism. Finally Goldman offers an anarchist alternative to syndicalism but an alternative that has its dark side.
