Freiheit (1879)

Freiheit (German for Freedom) was a long-running anarchist journal established by Johann Most in 1879. It was known for advocacy of attentat, or propaganda of the deed—revolutionary violence that could inspire people to revolution. Most began the German-language journal in London, aiming it at expatriate Germans and Austrians. He brought the publication with him when he immigrated to the United States just a few years later in 1882. When its charismatic founder and editor died in 1905, the publication began to ail. Freiheit ceased publication in 1910 after 28 years.
