Chapter 762: The Draft and American Anarchism
To win the Second Great War, the United States of America could not rely on volunteers alone, but had to reinstall the draft for the duration of the war. However fighting this war for European Colonies and Imperialism of one King (Spanish Republican Government in Exile) and Empire (British) against another King or Emperor (the Axis Central Powers) was quit unpopular, as was the draft that had started because of this in general. Both together with the long term of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his New Deal politics were seen by many as quit authoritarian itself. Thanks to this opposition the Anarchist, Socialist and Communist Community inside the United States Grew during the Second Great War. In America they mainly opposed the authority of President Roosevelt, rejected his New Deal and his division to got to War because of the Philippines and the European Colonies, yes even worse to for some groups, to help Uncle Joe (Stalin), while other groups supported at least this last move. To them this form of state was undesirable, unnecessary, and harmful. Many of them at first were Christian Anarchists (anarcho-christians) and anarcho-pacifists in the beginning. Many young anarchists of this period departed from previous generations both by embracing pacifism and by devoting more energy to promoting avant-garde culture, preparing the ground for a future anarchist-socialist-communist generation in the 1950ies in the process. The editors of the anarchist journal Retort, for instance, produced a volume of writings by Second Great War draft resistors imprisoned at Danbury, Connecticut, while regularly publishing the poetry and prose of writers such as Kenneth Rexroth and Norman Mailer. From the 1930s to the 1950s, then, the radical pacifist movement in the United States harbored both social democrats and anarchists, at a time when the anarchist movement itself seemed on its last legs. The Second Great War however ensured a revival of the movement, especially in the United States and later all across the Anglo-Saxon, English speaking world. As such anarchism influenced writers associated with the Beat Generation such as Allen Ginsberg and Gary Snyder. Anarcho-pacifism as a tendency within the anarchist movement rejected the use of violence in the struggle for social change. The main early influences were the thought of Henry David Thoreau and Leo Tolstoy while later the ideas of Mohandas Gandhi gained importance in their ideals, movements and ideology too. It developed mostly in Holland, Britain, and the United States, before and during the Second Great War, when it split to North America. Dorothy Day, (1897–1980) was an American journalist, social activist and devout Catholic convert; she advocated the Catholic economic theory of distributism. She was also considered to be an anarchist, and did not hesitate to use the term. In the 1930s, Day worked closely with fellow activist Peter Maurin to establish the Catholic Worker movement, a nonviolent, pacifist movement that continues to combine direct aid for the poor and homeless with nonviolent direct action on their behalf. Ammon Hennacy (1893–1970) was an American pacifist, Christian anarchist, vegetarian, social activist, member of the Catholic Worker Movement and a Wobbly (member of the Industrial Workers of the World, abridged IWW). He practiced tax resistance and established the Joe Hill House of Hospitality in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Anarchism continued to influence important American literary and intellectual personalities of the time, such as Paul Goodman, together with C. Wright Mills, he contributed to politics during the 1940s, with a journal edited during the 1940s by Dwight Macdonald. In 1947, he published two books, Kafka's Prayer and Communitas, a classic study of urban design coauthored with his brother Percival Goodman. However at the End of the Second Great War with the emerging of facts about what truly had happened inside the Socialist-Communist Soviet Union, as well as the common root of many Anarchists in anarcho-syndicalism and therefore Syndicalism, similar to the core of Fascism, National Socialism, Fascist Royalism and National Monarchism left no good impression of Anarchists. That was especially true after the Rust Belt Revolt (also known as the Rust Belt Uprising, the Industrial Workers Rebellion and the Anarcho-Communist Revolution). Afterwards many of the roughly 1,400 to 2,100 Soviet residents, agents and Soviet Union) refugees as well as American leaders involved in this rebellious uprising and the declaration of the Commonwealth of America were unlike in the Gulf States (diplomatic supported by the German Empire and the Axis Central powers) and the Pacific States (who shortly following deceleration of their independence by the winning Coprospist Parties after the Japanese had economically helped the West Coast recover economically when Washington focused most of it's reconstruction after the economic collapse following the Second Great War on the East Coast, they had quickly become a member of the Co-Prosperity Sphere, having their independence protected by the Japanese Empire) were charged with treason. Anarchist, Communist and Socialist parties, groups and Trade Unions involved in the violent uprising and according to some historiens a even attempted coup to End the Untied States for a Commonwealth of America were outlawed, their leaders shot by firing squats as afterwards a Red Scare haunted the Nation. The United States Police and Military reacted harsh and cracked down the uprising with massive revolt from their side as well, after Commonwealthonists Rebells had killed President Thomas Edmund Dewey while he was hard working rebuilding the country from the Second Depression, Inflation and Unemployment. Some historians even believed for his role of Ending the Second Great War in a diplomatic negotiated peace, his decision to let the South and Western States leave the Union without further bloodshed after a Great Global War and his work to nearly undo the internal social and economic crisis following it Dewey should have deserved to have his face at Mount Rushmore next to George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. The Shock of the violent revolt that was the Rust Belt Uprising and the following Red Scare would give rise to the later Royalist Scare and the Coprospist Scare, the idea that the Axis Central Powers and the Co-Prosperity Sphere could weaken and destabilize the Remnant United States from within to establish governments of their own ideology, leading to widespread mistrust of family and neighbors if someone showed dubious, questionable political views.
