Anarchist, journalist, drama critic, advocate of birth control and free love, Emma Goldman was one of the most famous - and notorious - women in the early twentieth century. Against a dramatic backdrop of political argument, show trials, imprisonment, and tempestuous romances, Goldman chronicles the epoch that she helped shape: the reform movements of the Progressive Era, the early years of and later disillusionment with Lenin's Bolshevik experiment, and more.
This essay is part 2 in a series wherein I develop a modern anarchist synthesis, taking into account the progress of the sciences and the results of the revolutionary experiments of the past. Just as in part 1 (https://libcom.org/article/modern-anarchism-part-1-anarchist-analysis) I laid out a holistic analysis of the kyriarchal-mega-machine utilizing a broad array of theoretical and sociological insights, here I will lay out an analysis of the meaning of 'anarchy,' by first inspecting some of the historical conceptions of this idea by the anarchists, then combining insights from fields such as physics, complexity theory, systems analysis, emergence theory, chaos theory, and social ecology to understand it more completely.
