Reply to comment by cyb3rd4ndy in Gustav Landauer by wednesday

there's a biography at the start of the book you might find interesting; it briefly covers his role in the Bavarian revolution, which he supported but seemed a bit uncomfortable with: "As far as I am concerned, I am all right staying here, although I am starting to feel rather useless".

he was arrested when the revolution was defeated, then murdered by SPD troops while in custody.

The book I have is called "Gustav Landauer: Anarchist and Jew," but I haven't read much of it yet. I have a huge project I'm saving for some later time on Jewish anarchisms. Have you heard of Erich Muhsam? I think the same people who did the Landauer book you are reading did one on him too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erich_M%C3%BChsam
