| Abstract | The Lehr- und Wehr-Verein of Chicago, an armed workers' association for self-defense, was founded in 1875, well before anarchist ideas became prevalent in the Chicago labor movement. . . . A purely German organization, it nonetheless made an effort to attract workers of all nationalities by not putting any ethnic restrictions in its requirements for admission. Sections include: Traditions and antecedents; The 1870s: Founding, success, and controversy; Analysis of membership and ideology; and Socialists, anarchists, and the 1880s. |
