MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History January 21, 1525: Conrad Grebel, Felix Manz and George Blaurock founded the Swiss Anabaptist movement by baptizing each other and breaking a thousand-year tradition of church-state union. The Anabaptists were considered Radical Reformers. They preached against hate, killing, violence, taking oaths, participating in use of force or any military actions and against participation in civil government. They also believed in separation of church and state. However, some Anabaptists went even further, like those in the Munster Commune, who called for the absolute equality of man in all matters, including the distribution of wealth. They called upon the poor of the region to join them in sharing all the wealth of the town. Many also believed in polygamy and free love. Not surprisingly, both the Roman Catholics and the nascent Lutherans persecuted them heavily. This history is wonderfully portrayed in the epic novel, “Q” by the Italian fiction collective, Luther Blissett. </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/peasants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>peasants</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/protestant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>protestant</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Reformation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Reformation</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LutherBlissett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LutherBlissett</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/anabaptist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anabaptist</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/equality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>equality</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/freelove" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>freelove</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/communal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>communal</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/polygamy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>polygamy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/lutheran" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lutheran</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/novel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>novel</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fiction</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/historicalfiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>historicalfiction</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>author</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writer</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/collective" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>collective</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/freelove" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>freelove</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstadon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstadon</span></a></span></p>

MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History January 21, 1525: Conrad Grebel, Felix Manz and George Blaurock founded the Swiss Anabaptist movement by baptizing each other and breaking a thousand-year tradition of church-state union. The Anabaptists were considered Radical Reformers. They preached against hate, killing, violence, taking oaths, participating in use of force or any military actions and against participation in civil government. They also believed in separation of church and state. However, some Anabaptists went even further, like those in the Munster Commune, who called for the absolute equality of man in all matters, including the distribution of wealth. They called upon the poor of the region to join them in sharing all the wealth of the town. Many also believed in polygamy and free love. Not surprisingly, both the Roman Catholics and the nascent Lutherans persecuted them heavily. This history is wonderfully portrayed in the epic novel, “Q” by the Italian fiction collective, Luther Blissett. </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/peasants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>peasants</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/protestant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>protestant</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Reformation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Reformation</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LutherBlissett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LutherBlissett</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/anabaptist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anabaptist</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/equality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>equality</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/freelove" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>freelove</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/communal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>communal</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/polygamy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>polygamy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/lutheran" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lutheran</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/novel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>novel</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fiction</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/historicalfiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>historicalfiction</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>author</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writer</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/collective" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>collective</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreeLove" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeLove</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstadon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstadon</span></a></span></p>
