| Abstract | Goyens’ work provides new insights into an often misunderstood political movement, showing how anarchist social gatherings combined German working-class conviviality with a dedication to living lives free of coercive authority, where the focus was less on violence than on beer, invective, political meetings, public lectures, discussion circles, fundraising events, and theater gatherings. |
