CHICAGO ANARCHIST PROPAGANDR

al e ouDulNlutU lllo NdiiDuS SlOupS'
clubs and circles there is unity among
them upon the basic proposition of op-
posing government and authority The
word "comrade' is used in greeting
each other whether they work under
the open label of anarchists or under
some less marked name.
GROUP INCLUDES WORKINGMEN.
Groups in which complaint against
the government and existing laws and
order is made by condemnation of the
present industrial conditions are es-
pecially active in Chicago among
workingmen and these are most nu-
merous. In these groups the hard
working men and women are arrayed
against the rich and discomfort is rails
ed against everything that has author
ity and order in it. 1t is in these
groups that Emma Goldman, Lucy
Parsons and other anarchists incite
men and women to become open rebels
to all government.
STRIKE AT FOUNDATION OF HOME
Other groups of anarchists direct
their attention principally to attack
ing the present constitution of the
home. The marriage ties in these
groups are supplanted by doctrines of
free love and the child in the home is
taught not to respect the authority of
any one, not even the parents. rhe
Free Society of Chicago, which thriv-
ed during the anarchist excitement fol-
lowing the murder of President Nc
Kinley, was a fair type of this group.
Marriage is looked upon by these peo-
pie as conventional and the right of
man and woman to choose their part
ners at any and all times in accord
ance with their own liking and rid
themselves of them whenever they
please is insisted upon.
Some types devote their attention
entirely to political activity, portray
ing that the present system of govern
ment is to blame for all ills.
