- For nearly half a century, Russian emigrant Emma Goldman was the most controversial woman in America, taunting the mainstream with her fervent attacks on government, big business, and war. To the tabloids, she was "Red Emma, queen of the anarchists," but many admired Goldman for her defense of labor rights, women's emancipation, birth control, and free speech.

Whilst Goldman was born into and spent her early life in "Imperial Russia", she was Lithuanian and culturally Jewish, not solely Russian.
During her life, Goldman was lionized as a freethinking "rebel woman" by admirers, and denounced by detractors 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 gained iconic status in the 1970s by a revival of interest in her life, when feminist and anarchist scholars rekindled popular interest.
It is a shame that this video wasted so much time on her relationships, that it only scratched the surface of her ideas. It's her ideas and courage to speak them that made her extraordinary. Especially nowadays, with so much State abuses of power and overreach like the Police State, the Surveillance State, and the Medical Martial Law State, Americans need people like Emma Goldman more than ever.
Meh, America has always made the mistake of allowing " Goldman's" to spread toxic Marxism. Just a glorified hater.
Shut up , she was crazy
@@rexboston are you sane?
@@jackcommonman1381are you???
One of my favorites of all the fabulous American Experience movies. I loved learning about a passionate woman who was willing to risk so much for causes she found important.
AH did the same thing for Germany and who will deny he had passion too. Do you admire HIM too?. EG was a commy and her passion could only come into being with the misery of many millions
OBHSfolk you should probably read more about Emma Goldman, and learn to stop yourself before making silly comparisons like that.
@@thewhat531 Dictators use some form of anarchy to cause the chaos needed to distract civilized citizens from the overthrow of their gov't and loss of freedoms. Learn from the "DEMS" who are still using anarchy & election chaos to take over the USA to make more money & gain more power from the CCP and kiss Putin's posterior. The useful idiots will be the first to be executed by the commies if they take over. Other people have a right to their opinions. You progressives always look down on and mock others who don't support your sneaky agenda.
@@kathyjenkins635 Every day on this earth further convinces me the average right-wing American is politically, if not completely, illiterate.
Anarchism is, by definition, a rejection of all hierarchies and dictators. "Anarchy" is often used as a synonym for chaos. "Anarchism" is the political philosophy that is sceptical of authority and rejects all unjustified hierarchies, including but not limited to capitalism, the military and the state. Anarchists in any nation fight against war, against racism and other forms of bigotry, against police brutality and against political repression.
Here, reading a Wikipedia page isn't that hard, is it? Being intelectually lazy doesn't make you more free, it just makes you more easily fooled, as can be seen from your comment.
@@mynamejeff3545 The anarchists in American lib cities 2020 that have been organized and paid for by the Dem leadership/elite and George Soros and other leftist billion and millionaires are not inspired usually by a sense of justice, but a desire to lash out, have power over others and get paid and supplied by Marxist/Fascists. Things have gotten much worse since Emma Goldman and her family left persecution in Europe/Russia and then turn around and embrace Marxism in the country which saved them and allowed them to prosper, just as the Rabbi said in the video. It's diabolical to me. I read Wikipedia, and either agree or make my own conclusion based on wisdom and knowledge like we all need to do.
Emma Goldman - The Spiritual Mother of Anarchism
watching this story she seemed like a person i would have liked to know
"She was totally unacceptable" 🔥❤️🔥 RIP Emma, gone 81 yrs today
She was a great broad.
Goldman should’ve bought that Sax cafe. It could’ve been the first GOLDMAN SAX! lol
Eastern European jews were very attached to communism and socialism. Irish, Italian and other newer immigrants had their socialists but not is such high numbers. It would be interesting to dive into why.
Because Jews are intellectuals and the filthy Irish and Italian catholics spent their time worshipping their pope rather than evaluating inequities and injustices. The Catholic Holocaust's objective was to rid Europe of the skepticism and intelligence of the Jewish people--to make Europe stupider, in effect.
easy, because eastern europeans were much more oppressed in social class
Explains *why* this country’s so screwed up now
Tony Kushman looks like Adam Sandler in character
From the same tribe
I'm watching right now! I thought that same thing!
Sempre t'
estimarem Emma, com varem estimar a totes les persones que lluitarem per un món
millor entre iguals , sense amos, ni esclaus, estimada Emma Goldman , Durruti,
Ascaso García Oliver, Aurelio Fernández, Salvador Seguí, Sacco y Vanzetti,
Pinelli, i tants d'altres que han contribuït
a dignificar la nostra manera d'entendre la vida de tots els essers de la terra,
visca l'anarquia
It's so sad how every thing in the us is so capitalism orientated.
That is why the us is the best country
Leave dummy
God damn right because it's a hell of alit better than communism capitalism is the reason America is as great as it is and the liberal woke anti American commie agenda is trying to destroy and reading what you said makes you sound like a traitor if your an American citizen
As opposed to communist countries like Russia, China and North Korea? Why not move there then?
Nevertheless she was a Cancer ♋️ 🦀💧🌛 a moon child
(A)
Stalin did not like Emma 😊
HUGE SUCKING SOUND.
today we elect communists
Lol, Biden is very very far from a communist. Also, Emma Goldman was literally an anarcho-communist.
when? american here
Such a vile, spiritually and morally bankrupt individual.
Enough talking about yourself
@@connorllewellyn6289 No, no, I was talking about Emma Goldman, the little antiChrist who is the subject this PBS documentary.
@@patrickc3419emma goldman probably had more integrity in her little finger than you have in the entirety of your whole being
@@patrickc3419very sad. People believe a 7 min video. Too bad they don't know her real character. 👹
She should've stayed in Russia, God-damned troublemaker.
except they killed and imprisoned those who spoke for freedom
She begged to come home after meeting Stalin 😊
What a beautiful story of unaccomplished tyrants. Thank you PBS for sugarcoating the life stories of these society underminers.
Hierarchy is a spook and has no place in society.
so you can disagree with anarchism as a political ideology all you want, but tyranny is... the complete opposite of what anarchists strive for. complete abolition of hierarchy, so that tyrants cannot exist
Shut the fuck up you Bismarkian prick
A tyrannical anarchist lol what?
@@sint0xicateme OK, call it a PECKING ORDER which occurs in nature plus our fallen natures which are prone to pride which causes the "cream" to rise to the top, especially in Communism.
She isn’t someone to be held up in esteem. Unless you are a democrat of today.
Leave the name calling for Fox news.
Samaire Give me an example.
or if u are literate she's worth reading Or if u are decent...lol julie u americans r sooo...
Julie Cramer you sound like you need to read more about political theory- and stop believing what you hear on the tell-lie-vision, it's rotting your brain.
tony1967ify Jesus Christ is true freedom.
