On Tuesday, October 8 we will be discussing The Continuing Appeal of Nationalism by Czech-American anarchist Fredy Perlman (1934-1985). The article first appeared in Detroit
‘s Fifth Estate journal (Winter, 1984) and pivots on a recurring paradox embedded in State-based ‘national liberation’ struggles. Israel’s brutal invasion and occupation of southern Lebanon (1982-2000) formed the backdrop for Perlman’s reflections.
