from
Wikipedia
In 1937, Nationalism and Culture, which he had started work on around 1925, was finally published with the help of anarchists from Chicago Rocker had met in 1933.
A Spanish edition was released in three volumes in Barcelona, the stronghold of the Spanish anarchists.
It would be his best-known work.
In the book, Rocker traces the origins of the state back to religion claiming " that all politics is in the last instance religion ": both enslave their very creator, man ; both claim to be the source of cultural progress.
He aims to prove the claim that culture and power are essentially antagonistic concepts.
He applies this model to human history, analyzing the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, Enlightenment, and modern capitalist society, and to the history of the socialist movement.
He concludes by advocating a " new humanitarian socialism ".
