Η φιλοσοφία της αθεΐας και η αποτυχία του χριστιανισμού
Η επωδός όλων των τραγουδιών και των ύμνων "προς τον Ύψιστο" είναι ότι ο θεός συμβολίζει τη δικαιοσύνη και το έλεος. Κι όμως, η αδικία ανάμεσα στους ανθρώπους συνεχώς αυξάνεται· οι προσβολές που διαπράττονται ενάντια στις μάζες μόνο σε αυτή τη χώρα θα αρκούσαν για να πλημμυρίσουν ακόμα και τους ίδιους τους παραδείσους. Αλλά πού είναι οι θεοί να βάλουν ένα τέλος σε όλες αυτές τις φρικαλεότητες, τις αδικίες, σε αυτήν την απανθρωπιά απέναντι στον άνθρωπο; Όχι, όχι οι θεοί, αλλά ο ΑΝΘΡΩΠΟΣ πρέπει να εγερθεί στην ισχυρή αγανάκτησή του. Αυτός, εξαπατήθηκε απ’ όλες τις θεότητες, προδομένος απ’ τους απεσταλμένους τους, αυτός, μόνος του, πρέπει να αναλάβει να φέρει τη δικαιοσύνη επί της γης.

About the author
Emma Goldman
360 books1,041 followersEmma Goldman was a feminist anarchist known for her political activism, writing and speeches. She played a pivotal role in the development of anarchist political philosophy in North America and Europe in the first half of the twentieth century.
Born in Kovno in the Russian Empire (present-day Kaunas, Lithuania), Goldman emigrated to the US in 1885 and lived in New York City, where she joined the burgeoning anarchist movement.Attracted to anarchism after the Haymarket affair, Goldman became a writer and a renowned lecturer on anarchist philosophy, women's rights, and social issues, attracting crowds of thousands.
She and anarchist writer Alexander Berkman, her lover and lifelong friend, planned to assassinate Henry Clay Frick as an act of propaganda of the deed. Although Frick survived the attempt on his life, Berkman was sentenced to twenty-two years in prison. Goldman was imprisoned several times in the years that followed, for "inciting to riot" and illegally distributing information about birth control. In 1906, Goldman founded the anarchist journal Mother Earth.
In 1917, Goldman and Berkman were sentenced to two years in jail for conspiring to "induce persons not to register" for the newly instated draft. After their release from prison, they were arrested—along with hundreds of others—and deported to Russia.
Initially supportive of that country's Bolshevik revolution, Goldman quickly voiced her opposition to the Soviet use of violence and the repression of independent voices. In 1923, she wrote a book about her experiences, My Disillusionment in Russia. While living in England, Canada, and France, she wrote an autobiography called Living My Life. After the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, she traveled to Spain to support the anarchist revolution there. She died in Toronto on May 14, 1940, aged 70.
During her life, Goldman was lionized as a free-thinking "rebel woman" by admirers, and derided by critics as an advocate of politically motivated murder and violent revolution.Her writing and lectures spanned a wide variety of issues, including prisons, atheism, freedom of speech, militarism, capitalism, marriage, free love, and homosexuality. Although she distanced herself from first-wave feminism and its efforts toward women's suffrage, she developed new ways of incorporating gender politics into anarchism. After decades of obscurity, Goldman's iconic status was revived in the 1970s, when feminist and anarchist scholars rekindled popular interest in her life.

«[...]Με όλο τον οφειλόμενο σεβασμό, λοιπόν, στους μεταφυσικούς και θρησκευτικούς ιδεαλιστές, φιλοσόφους, πολιτικούς ή ποιητές: η ιδέα του Θεού συνεπάγεται την παραίτηση απ'την ανθρώπινη λογική και τη δικαιοσύνη. Είναι η πιο αποφασιστική άρνηση της ανθρώπινης ελευθερίας και αναπόφευκτα καταλήγει, θεωρητικά και πρακτικά, στην υποδούλωση του ανθρώπινου είδους».
