Emma Goldman's outsized legacy.

After reading about opposition to Putin's draft this morning (including propaganda of the deed), I started reading about historical opposition to conscription here and reacquainted myself some with Emma Goldman.

Reading about Snowden being offered full Russian citizenship this afternoon, I was reminded of how much I hate the Espionage Act, and looking back I once again ran into Emma Goldman.

She may hail from the opposite wing of my movement as me. There's not just statements against capitalism, but even early statements supportive of the Russian revolution that make me cringe. But on a lot of the big overlap, her intellectual impact is underappreciated.
