Agreed. Her "dancing" never took precedence over her revolutionary commitment. As you say, it was a form of liberation she wished for everyone. Most of us also derived much personal satisfaction in socializing with our closest intellectual and political kin outside of the wider movements we were involved in, without having to make the sacrifices required of Goldman and others in earlier revolutionary periods. The social dimension remains a powerful incentive for radical political engagement today. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
