Today in Labor History March 29, 1797: William Godwin married Mary Wollstonecraft. Godwin was an English journalist, philosopher and novelist. And one of the first modern proponents of anarchism. His most famous books are “An Enquiry Concerning Political Justice” and “Things as They Are; or, The Adventures of Caleb Williams,” a mystery novel that attacks aristocratic privilege. Wollstonecraft was a British writer, philosopher, and advocate of women's rights, and is regarded by many as one of the founding feminist philosophers. Her most famous book was “A Vindication of the Rights of Woman” (1792). She died 11 days after giving birth to her second daughter, Mary Shelley, author of Frankenstein.

Ratchet & Clank + Revolutionary Philosophy = The Ultimate Friday Night Vibe

Spent my evening diving into Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando while absorbing William Godwin’s Enquiry Concerning Political Justice. Who knew that epic space battles and 18th-century anarchist philosophy would go so perfectly together?

#GreatAnarchists is a nice little introduction to 10 well know anarchists. #RuthKinna doesn't gloss over the negatives (Proudhon's anti semitism, Kropotkin's support for WWI, Max Sterner's extreme individualism etc) but still manages to point out why their contributions to Anarchist thought is so important and why they are still significant. Artwork by #CliffordHarper is, as always, brilliant. I particularly like the philosophies of #OscarWilde, #LucyParsons, #WilliamGodwin and #ErricoMalatesta
