Podcast appearances and mentions of Molly Crabapple

Artist and writer Molly Crabapple joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and V.V. Ganeshananthan to talk about the Jewish Labor Bund and its socialist, secular, anti-Zionist principles. Crabapple, whose artist great-grandfather Sam Rothbort was part of the organization, discusses researching and writing her New York Times bestselling book, Here Where We Live Is Our Country: The Story of the Jewish Bund, which chronicles the Bund's roots, founding in 1897, and development in the 20th century. Crabapple explains the Bund's relationship to the idea of Hereness and their belief that diaspora was home and that they belonged where they lived; the Bund's relationship to the Russian empire and to Jewish identity; and the fate of its leaders in the Holocaust. She also reflects on how she structured and shaped the Bund's massive history following a random encounter with a fallen book on the street. She reads from Here Where We Live Is Our Country.To hear the full episode, subscribe through iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app (include the forward slashes when searching).

The resounding success of Here Where We Live Is Our Country, Molly Crabapple's vividly told and extensively researched history of the Jewish Labor Bund—a socialist group founded at the end of the 19th century on principles of internationalist solidarity, doikayt (or hereness), and Jewish national-cultural autonomy—has improbably brought the Bund, decimated in the Holocaust, into the 21st century. In this interview, Arielle Angel speaks with Crabapple about what it means to see the Bund from this vantage, from the other side of a century where Jews have gone from victims of genocide to genocidaires. What can we learn about purity politics and principled refusal, about solidarity and its failures?Thanks to Julia Natt for editing and to Nathan Salsburg for the use of his song “VIII (All That Were Calculated Have Passed).”Media Mentioned and Further ReadingHere Where We Live Is Our Country by Molly Crabapple“Back to the Bund,” Samuel Hayim Brody, Jewish Currents (forthcoming in the Fall issue)Transcript forthcoming.

In this episode the historian and writer Faith Hillis speaks about the Jewish Labor Bund, a secular, socialist Jewish political party founded in the Russian Empire in 1897. She discusses two new books on Jewish radicalism and the danger of reaching for the past as a weapon in current political fights.

Molly Crabapple joins Michael Stauch to discuss the history of the Jewish Labor Bund, the subject of her new book, Here Where We Live Is Our Country: The Story of the Jewish Bund (Random House, 2026). Once the most influential Jewish political force in Eastern Europe, the Bund was secular, socialist, and uncompromisingly anti-Zionist. The Bundists fought for dignity and equality, not in an imagined homeland in Palestine but “here where we live.” In the first popular history of the Bund, Crabapple re-creates their extraordinary world through dramatic portraits of insurgent poets and antireligious rebels, clandestine revolutionaries and lovers on the barricades. The Bundists live deeply within this violent, volatile, and somehow hopeful period, as their stories interweave with the Russian Revolution and the Holocaust. The Bund's rise and fall raises the vital question: What can we learn from a movement that, for all its toughness, imagination, and moral clarity, was largely destroyed? Highlights include: Crabapple's personal connection to the Bund through her great-grandfather, Sam Rothbort; How the Bund built a vibrant youth counterculture amid harsh anti-Semitism in Eastern Europe; The significance of “Hereness” to the Bund's politics and how it distinguished the group from Zionist groups advocating the colonization of Palestine; A discussion of “theory-pilled nerds” and how Crabapple's activism and journalism since Occupy Wall Street shaped her insights into the inner life of the Bund; The future of anti-Zionism in the context of Israel's ongoing destruction of Palestine. Molly Crabapple is an artist and writer based in New York. She is the author of two books, Drawing Blood and Brothers of the Gun (with Marwan Hisham), which was longlisted for a National Book Award. She was a 2020 New America Fellow and her reportage is the winner of the Bernhard Labor Journalism Award, and has been published in The New York Times, New York Review of Books, The Paris Review, Vanity Fair, The Guardian, Rolling Stone, The New Yorker, and elsewhere. Her animations have won two Emmys and an Edward R. Murrow Award. Her art is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art. Michael Stauch is an associate professor of history at the University of Toledo and the author of Wildcat of the Streets: Detroit in the Age of Community Policing, published by the University of Pennsylvania Press in 2025.

This episode, artist, writer, and journalist Molly Crabapple discusses her new book, “Here Where We Live Is Our Country.” Through the conversation, she explores how art, memory, and reportage can challenge borders, social movements, and official narratives, focusing on the lives of workers, migrants, and resisters who carve out solidarity and dignity in hostile conditions. The discussion highlights the politics of looking—who is seen, who is erased—and how visual storytelling can expose injustice while honoring the full humanity of people living on the front lines of crisis and conflict. Across the episode, Crabapple reflects on her own trajectory from artist to collaborator with radical journalists documenting war, incarceration, and economic exploitation. She talks about the responsibilities of depicting suffering, the intersections of culture and organizing, and why “Here Where We Live Is Our Country” reframes “country” as the networks of care and struggle we build together rather than flags or passports. If you're interested in labor history, social movements, and the role of art in political resistance, this conversation offers a sharp, visually rich lens on the world we live in and the worlds we're trying to create. Molly Crabapple is an artist, writer, and journalist whose work sits at the intersection of illustration and political reportage. She first gained prominence for her intricate, densely detailed drawings and has since become known for visual essays and collaborations that address topics such as war, authoritarianism, incarceration, and economic inequality. Her illustrations and writing have appeared alongside investigative journalism and essays in major outlets, and she has worked extensively with reporters documenting events in the Middle East, Europe, and the United States. Crabapple is also the author of the memoir “Drawing Blood: A Radical Artist's Memoir of NYC Nightlife, Occupy, and Witness Journalism,” (2015), which examines her own life, work, and the political awakenings that informed her art and “Brothers of the Gun: A Memoir of the Syrian War,”(2018), a ground-level reflection on revolution and war. With “Here Where We Live Is Our Country,” she continues this trajectory, using image and text to honor the people and places that rarely make it into official histories, but whose lives and struggles define the world we actually inhabit.   Order the book: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/646320/here-where-we-live-is-our-country-by-molly-crabapple/          Molly's Website: https://www.mollycrabapple.com   Greg's Blog: http://zzs-blg.blogspot.com/ Pat's Substack: https://patcummings.substack.com/  #MollyCrabapple#HereWhereWeLiveIsOurCountry#politicalart#Bund#JewishBundism#laborhistory#workingclassstruggles#warandresistance#migrationandborders#solidaritymovements#leftistpodcast#Zionism#SamRothbort#PatCummings#PatrickCummings#GregGodels#ZZBlog#ComingFromLeftField#Podcast#zzblog#mltoday

The artist and writer Molly Crabapple joins journalist Spencer Ackerman and BISR's Suzy Schneider in coversation about her new book, Here Where We Live Is Our Country: The Story of the Jewish Bund, which recreates the revolutionary world of the Bundists, and explores the interwoven histories of the Bund, the Russian Revolution, and the Holocaust. What can we learn, she asks, from this short-lived but influential socialist alternative to Zionism? What does this movement have to say about the past and future of the Jewish left, radical diasporas, the politics of assimilation, and the Bund's cultural and intellectual legacy. What can the transnational history of the Bund teach us about working-class organization, education, and culture? How can the Bund's radical vision of solidarity inform liberation struggles in the present? You can download the episode by right-clicking here and selecting "save as."

As Zionism was taking shape in the late 19th century, parallel Jewish anti-Zionist movements were emerging as well.Palestine Deep Dive's Ahmed Al-Naouq and Hala Hanina pose the question: Was the creation of a Jewish ethno-nationalist state at the expense of Palestinians inevitable? And what other Jewish futures once existed before the creation of Israel?To answer these questions, they are joined by Palestinian cultural historian, educator and editor Hazem Jamjoum and Molly Crabapple, an artist, writer and author of 'Here Where We Live Is Our Country.'  Her book is a remarkable exploration of the Jewish Bund, a secular, socialist, anti-Zionist movement that once represented a completely different Jewish political future.Support us by becoming a paid subscriber from as little as £1 a month.

We’re entranced in Molly Crabapple’s reanimation of the Jewish Labour Bund in Europe and Russia, of a century ago. Yiddish Socialism was a nickname. You could plausibly describe that old Bund as forgotten but not ... The post Here Where We Live Is Our Country appeared first on Open Source with Christopher Lydon.

The history of Jewish revolutionary groups is fraught with complexity, violence and surprise — as author Molly Crabapple discovered when she traveled across eastern Europe to dig through the archives of her ancestors. Her journey is the subject of her new book, Here Where We Live Is Our Country. In it, Crabapple reveals the largely-forgotten history of the Jewish Labor Bund: a secular, anti-Zionist, and socialist political party founded in the late 1800s. In today's episode, Crabapple joins NPR's Leila Fadel to discuss the book, and why the Bund remains so controversial to this day.  To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedaySee pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

How might we be inspired by a worldwide community of Yiddish-speaking Jews, whose cultural identity was broadly internationalist?David Mazower is the author of Yiddish: A Global Culture, which accompanies an exhibit he curated at the Yiddish Book Center in Amherst, Massachusetts.Our conversation explores the heritage and influence of Yiddish – the everyday language of East European Jews, which became a diaspora lingua franca and the medium for bold creativity, from avant-garde art and subversive writing to radical politics that shaped socialist and anarchist movements.David's great-grandfather, Sholem Asch, was a pioneering Yiddishist writer and another of his ancestors – his father's father Max – was a revolutionary in tsarist Russia, becoming involved with a socialist party called the Bund, whose deeply humanistic perspective has since been marginalised.As David observes, the impact of the Bund is now the focus of a book by Molly Crabapple (titled Here Where We Live is Our Country). And an outing of London Bundists from the early 1900s features on the cover of David's book.Before joining the Yiddish Book Center as its research bibliographer and editorial director, David was a senior journalist with BBC World News and deputy curator of the Jewish Museum London. He writes for a range of publications on topics from Yiddish theatre and popular culture to British Jewish history.Selected highlights from the exhibit that accompanies his book are available here. There's also a digital guide via the Bloomberg Connects app (see here for details).--

Last week was one of the roughest for Democrats since Trump won the election in 2024: The Supreme Court ended Black congressional representation in most of the South and opened the door to the creation of several more Republican House seats, and then the Virginia Supreme Court ruled that the state's initiative that created four more Democratic House seats was invalid. Nevertheless, Trump is so unpopular that Democrats remain strong favorites to retake the House in November. Harold Meyerson comments.Also: During the first part of the 20th century, 100,000 Eastern European Jews joined a socialist organization that opposed Zionism. Their organization we call the Bund, and they believed that Jews should fight for full rights wherever they were, not for a new homeland somewhere else. Their motto was “Here, where we live, is our country”—that's the title of a new book about them by Molly Crabapple.

Their organization we call the Bund, and they believed that Jews should fight for full rights wherever they were, not for a new homeland somewhere else. Their motto was “here, where we live, is our country”--that's the title of a new book by Molly Crabapple.

The Jewish Bund was one of the most revolutionary political parties of the twentieth century. It aimed to build a socialist alternative to Zionism. Molly Crabapple is an artist and the author of the New York Times Bestseller “Here Where We Live is Our Country: The Story of the Jewish Bund,” which tells the story of the movement. She joins WITHpod to discuss how she found her way to this story, the rise and fall of the Jewish Labor Bund and more.

One of the elements that makes Molly Crabapple’s latest book so remarkable is, not only the remarkable stories it unearths and retells, but more specifically how she tells these stories, these erased stories, these stories meant to be forgotten. Not only does she tell them in a dynamic, often thrilling, way, she also does so in a way that somehow opens up the history and gifts it to contemporary movements, organizers and their artists. You can feel how alive to the moment Molly’s book of history is in the words of everyone who praises it. Whether Naomi Klein calling it a “gripping, human story of love, idealism and betrayal” or Tareq Baconi “a road map for our revolution today” and we explore this together—how to write, in whatever genre, in a way that offers one’s work to anti-colonial movements of liberation. A great conversation to pair today’s with is the recent episode with Jordy Rosenberg, who asks many of these same questions, but within the realm of fiction. After Jordy and my conversation had aired, Jordy sent me a second contribution to the bonus audio archive, a reading of the Palestinian writer and performance artist Fargo Tbakhi’s “Notes on Craft: Writing in the Hour of Genocide.” This joins many contributions from past guests whether from Naomi Klein, Dionne Brand, Isabella Hammad, or Omar El Akkad.

„Das Sein bestimmt das Bewusstsein!” Wer hat's gesagt? Na? Wieder keiner? Der olle Marx war's!Das wussten natürlich alle Lob und Verriss-Leserinnen aber vor hundert Jahren wusste das so ziemlich jeder, denn Karl Marx war noch ein bestimmender Philosoph und keine versubstantivierte Ideologie. Man baute seine politischen Bewegungen um, gegen oder für seine Schriften. Kommunisten, Sozialisten, Sozialdemokraten gegen Nationalisten, Zentrums- und Volksparteien – das waren nur ein Bruchteil der neuen politischen Bewegungen. Das endete in den Auswüchsen der Weimarer Republik mit ihren siebzehn Parteien im Reichstag und der daraus folgenden Lähmung des Parlamentarismus, aber auch die Nachbarländer kamen in den Strudel dieses Chaos, es war die Zeit. Ins polnische Parlament, den Sejm, kamen und gingen über die jahre gar zweiunddreißig Parteien. Politik, so kommt es einem mit dem Blick von heute vor, war Lebenszweck, war Sport, war Theater. Nach der Erstarrung des Lebens in den immergleichen Kreisläufen des Mittelalters, aufgebrochen durch die industrielle Revolution, die den Reichtum nur vom Adel zum Bürgertum verteilte, gab Marx den Habenichtsen Ideen (und Wege, diese zu verwirklichen!) an die Hand, um die Gesellschaft zu ihren Gunsten zu verändern. Der Erste Weltkrieg hatte zudem die Verkrustungen auf nationaler Ebene brutal aufgebrochen, mit dem Nebeneffekt zwei Dutzend Monarchien zu beenden. Neue Länder entstanden, alte vereinigten sich wieder und all diese Staaten brauchten neue Gesellschaftsmodelle.Die Unordnung war aufregend für alle, die nach vorn wollten, (ver-)störend für alle, die wollten, dass sich nichts verändere oder die einfach keine Chance sahen, am großen Rennen in die Zukunft teilzunehmen. Für alle, die gar nicht durchsahen oder durchsehen wollten, gab es natürlich immer die Alternative, auf die Basics zurückzufallen - der gute alte Rassismus: die dort zu braun, der zu blond, dem seine Nase zu platt und die andere zu hakelig. Das erdet und reduziert die Komplexität und die Juden haben eh schon immer gestört. Da können wir Deutsche mitreden, da sind wir Experten. Weshalb wir da eben eher nicht mitreden sollten und im Gegenteil recht dankbar sind, wenn andere die Stories erzählen vom Leben vor der Shoah: vom Überleben, vom Sterben und vom Töten. Über all das ist intensiv, gewalttätig und unendlich faszinierend zu lesen in “Der Boxer”, einem Roman, im Warschau der dreißiger Jahre spielend, in dem der polnische Autor Szczepan Twardoch uns die schwere Arbeit abnimmt, ein Bild von jüdischem Leben zu zeichnen in und außerhalb dessen, was von den Deutschen nur wenige Jahre später zum “Warschauer Ghetto” gemacht wurde – nicht, dass die polnische Mehrheit in der Stadt viel dagegen gehabt hätte. Aber das Buch hat eben nichts mit solchem Schwarz-Weiß-Holzschnitt zu tun, der herauskommen müssen, wenn das Tätervolk vom Opfervolk berichtet.Die Erzählerstimme im Buch ist Mojżesz, ein zur Handlung 1937 siebzehnjähriger Junge, streng jüdisch erzogen, lebend in Warschau, und da es damals nicht “ein” Warschau gab, braucht es die Qualifizierung: “links der Weichsel”, zwischen Nalewki und Zamenhofstraße, in Mirów und Muranów, dort, wo Warschau nicht wie Paris roch, sondern wie der Orient, wie uns Twardoch erzählt. Wir sind nicht wirklich lange im Buch, als wir erfahren, das Mojżesz Halbwaise ist. Sein Vater Naum Bernstein wurde umgebracht, gerade eben erst, zwei Tage vorm Pessachfest, und eigentlich müsste er in den Tempel, und wer bestellt eigentlich das Kaddisch, seine Mutter weint den ganzen Tag, sein Bruder ist zu klein dafür, also eigentlich sein Job, aber er hat Karten bekommen für den Boxkampf in der Stadt, das Team von Legia vs. dem von Makkabi, und wir lernen bald, wenn wir nicht ganz so firm sind in den ethnischen Hintergründen beider Teamnamen, hier kämpfen Polen gegen Juden, hier ist Prestige im Spiel oder sagen wir einfach: Rassismus. Die Eintrittskarte hat er von seinem Helden bekommen, Jakub Shapiro, dem Boxmeister des Viertels, ein schöner Mann, ein starker, ein reicher zudem, Frauen lieben ihn, Männer beneiden ihn und ausgerechnet der hat dem kleinen Mojżesz ein Ticket geschenkt und er darf mit ihm hinterher im Auto fahren, einem roten Chrysler, der aber nicht dem Boxer selbst gehört (der hat “nur” einen Buick), sondern seinem Chef, der unverholen “Der Pate” genannt wird und genau das ist, ein Pate, Chef der jüdischen Unterwelt: Schutzgeld, Prostitution, Drogen, das ganze Programm, der Boss im Viertel, der vor genau zwei Tagen Jakub, dem Boxer, den Auftrag gab, Mojżesz' Vater umzubringen. Und mit den beiden sitzt Mojżesz jetzt im Auto. Oha. Ok. Jesus… Sorry. Falscher Zungenschlag.Das alles weiß in dem Augenblick nur der erzählende Mojżesz, der das als fast Siebzigjähriger aufschreibt. Wir erfahrne das immer wieder in Zwischensätzen, kurz herausgerissen aus der Geschichte vom jungen Mojżesz, wie der alte kurz von der Schreibmaschine aufsteht und auf die Dizengoff Street in Tel Aviv runterschaut, aus seinem Apartment, das er viel zu selten verlässt.Warum schenkt der Mörder dem Sohn des Opfers Tickets zum Boxkampf? Warum, wie es sich entwickelt, nimmt er ihn in seine Obhut, lässt ihn bei sich leben, trainiert mit ihm, macht ihn zu seiner rechten Hand? Schuldgefühle? Scham? Nach einem Jahrzehnt im Dienst des “Paten” eigentlich unwahrscheinlich, wird uns dieses Rätsel bis zum Ende des Romans begleiten, ja, es ist das zentrale Thema des Buches und am Ende ein Baustein für so manche Wendung.Nicht nur mit dem Mord, sondern mit der Art und Weise desselben setzt das Buch den Ton für eine Gangsterstory, einen politischen Thriller, ein Moralitätenstück angesiedelt im Polen zwischen 1918 und 1939. Denn der Mord war brutal, Naum Bernstein wurde nicht einfach umgebracht, weil er seine Schulden nicht bezahlen konnte, er wurde gevierteilt und in die verschiedenen Seen in und um Warschau verteilt, in Teile zerhackt wie der weiße Hahn, den man zu Pessach über dem Kopf schwenkt und dem man hinterher den Kopf abschlägt auf dass man von allen Sünden erlöst sei. Religion, you know.So brutal ging es in der gesamten zweiten polnischen Republik zu, wie sie genannt wurde. Entstanden war sie aus den Wirren des ersten Weltkrieges und der Oktoberrevolution, nach denen Polen die Chance zur Wiedervereinigung ergriff und verspielte. Wie sich Polen mit wem wiedervereinigte? Frag Chat. Wer sich in Polen politisch mit wem stritt, zoffte, intrigierte, putschte: versuch es zu verstehen, überlies es, lies den hervorragenden Anhang des hervorragenden Übersetzers Olaf Kühl zuerst oder: Frag Chat. Es ist endlos kompoliziert.Derart verworrene politische Chaosjahre künstlerisch zu verarbeiten kann enorm abturnend sein, wie ich kürzlich lernen musste, in einem dreistündigen Theaterstück, geschrieben nur ein paar Jahre vorm Handlungszeitraum des “Boxer” vom doch großen Hans Fallada. Das Stück “Bauern, Bonzen und Bomben” wurde gegeben am Dresdner Staatsschauspiel und es wurde einzig durch die Schauspieler und vor allem das Bühnenbild herausgerissen. Denn ob die Sozis, der Bauernpartei oder den Nationalen gerade im Bürgermeisteramt einer holsteinischen Kleinstadt Demonstrationen erlauben oder verbieten, interessierte die Theatergängerin 1931 sicherlich, eventuell, hundert Jahre später aber eher nicht. Denn so etwas spannend zu erzählen braucht es keinen begnadeten und innovativen Autoren der “Neuen Sachlichkeit” wie Hans Fallada, da braucht es einen Punk, einen atemlosen, rücksichtslosen Schreiber wie Szczepan Twardoch der uns die politischen Wirren des Warschau zwischen den Weltkriegen in einer Brutalität, Schmutzigkeit und oft kaum auszuhalten schmerzevoll in einem Stakkato von Szene zu Szene zu Szene um die Ohren haut - wir kommen oft genug nicht hinterher. Nicht nur wegen der real existierenden polnischen Politikernamen, die wir nur anhand der Diakritika an den Buchstaben ausseinanderhalten können, jeder Ausspracheversuch muss scheitern. Der mit P und durchgestrichen I ist Präsident (Ja, war Józef Piłsudski nicht wirklich, it's complicated), der mit L und durchgestrichenem T der Staatsanwalt, wer war nochmal der mit D und dem Schwänzchen unter dem E?Geschrieben ist das Ganze in einem mir sonst eher unangenehmen wilden Herumgespringe in der Zeit, von 1929 nach 1918 nach 1926 nach 1988 und wieder zurück, dazu die vielen Namen, die nur mit hartem Training bei Ellroy oder Pynchon zu durchsteigen (oder zu ignorieren) sind – es ergibt sich ein Vertigo, wie es die Zeitzeugen der Epoche selbst erlebt haben müssen und welches wir Szczepan Twardoch mal als gewolltes Stilmittel unterstellen. Nach ein paar Seiten Eingewöhnung wandelt sich das leicht verwirrte Lesen in manisches Pageturnen – man legt das Buch nicht mehr weg, man will die nächste Episode, die nächste kleine Backstory eines Charakters (oft im Sinne von “was ein Charakter!”) lesen. Ja, das Buch ist lang, aber es ist brillant und unglaublich gut übersetzt.Und so hangelt man sich also durch den politischen Urwald der 2. polnischen Republik und lernt doch viel, wenn man sich drauf einlässt, und es wird nicht einfacher dadurch, dass praktisch alle handelnden Personen permanent Wodka trinken, koksen, Frauen vergewaltigen, politische Gegner misshandeln, einsperren, umbringen – oder sich im allerbesten Fall nur mit ihnen prügeln. Wir sind nach spätestens hundert Seiten so abgestumpft, dass wir erschrocken Mitleid mit Mördern haben, Sympathie für Rechtsradikale entwickeln, Geldeintreiber als wertvolle Ordnungsmacht der Gesellschaft akzeptieren. Nur Vergewaltiger bleiben geradeso außerhalb unseres Verständnishorizontes, aber auch nur, weil Twardoch sich entscheidet, diese am Ende doch eindeutig als Bösewichte zu belassen. Alle anderen bekommen eine schwere Kindheit, ein Kriegstrauma, eine körperliche Missbildung (und was für eine, Herrgott, wurde mir schlecht!) als mildernde Umstände in die Story geschrieben, damit wir uns ja nicht zu sicher sind in unseren Urteilen.Über allem hängt die Fata Morgana eines jüdischen Staates in Palästina. Manche träumen von einem Neuanfang in Eretz Jisra'el andere warnen davor, denn ist das nicht die endgültige Niederlage, die Viertel in die man verbannt wurde freiwillig zu verlassen? Und was ist, wenn das wieder nur ein Ghetto, diesmal von Brittanias Gnaden ist? "Und was ist eigentlich mit den Palästinensern die dort leben?”, fragen besonders Weitsichtige.Das sind sie also, die berühmten Umstände, dieses “Sein”, das das Bewusstsein prägt, welches Menschen in harten Situationen hart werden lässt und in brutalen brutal. In ihren Vierteln lebend seit Jahrhunderten, chancenlos auszubrechen, entwickeln die Warschauer Juden Codes, Verhaltensmuster, “Coping Mechanisms” würde man heute sagen; es bilden sich brutale Machtstrukturen heraus wie in allen zu engen Gesellschaften, Schutz wird geboten und bezahlt und, wenn nicht, entzogen, es entstehen innerhalb der Unterdrückten Unterdrücker und Unterdrückte, innerhalb der Verlierer Verlierer und Gewinner. Druck von außen, in Warschau der fast prähistorische Antisemitismus, erzeugt kaum Gegendruck nach außen, sondern einen inhumanen solchen nach innen.“Der Boxer” ist eine Betrachtung dieser Mechanismen aus mindestens drei Perspektiven: Da ist die Erfolgsgeschichte des Gangsters Jakub Shapiro, dem Boxer, wie er zurückgekehrt aus dem Krieg der Polen gegen die Sowjetunion, bei dem er als Soldat auf der Siegerseite stand (was eher Zufall war), zu etwas bringt: im Sport, im Leben, in der Unterwelt. Bei all seiner Brutalität fiebern wir mit ihm mit und halten zum Schläger, zum Mörder.Da ist die traurige Geschichte von Mojżesz Bernstein, der seinen Vater verliert und einen Vater gewinnt, in Jakub, der Junge, der, hätte man nicht seinen Vater ermordet, wohl nicht das geworden wäre, was er heute ist.Und da ist die Perspektive des alten Mojżesz, unseres Erzählers mit erfüllter Vergangenheit, Brigadegeneral a.D. in Tel Aviv, Ende der 80er.Alle drei haben ein Leben gelebt, das nicht einfach war und Kompromisse erforderte. Jeder der drei stellt sich moralisch nicht frei. Jakub, der Boxer, der Mörder, leistet Buße, indem er Mojżesz annimmt. Dieser, der Junggangster, hat am Ende keine Wahl. Was soll er machen, fragt er sich? Nicht mit seinem Helden mitrennen, zurück in das ärmliche vaterlose Haus? Er lässt seine Mutter und seinen Bruder im Stich, bewusst. Und derselbe Mojżesz, am Ende seines Lebens, der Brigadegeneral in der israelischen Armee war, hatte doch auch keine Wahl, so sagt er sich immer wieder, was soll man machen als Israeli mit Arabern um einen herum? Die Araber nicht erschießen?Wir entwickeln Verständnis und merken genauso zu spät wie unsere Protagonisten, dass man irgendwann auf dem Weg zum Monsterwerden nicht stehen geblieben ist. Nicht “Neyn! Nie! Lo!” gesagt hat und dass man all seine moralistischen Begründungen in die Tonne treten kann, wenn man sich nicht zeitig genug wiederfindet, sich nicht zeitig genug selbst widerspricht, eine Grenze zieht, nicht mehr jedes Mittel zum Zweck erklärt und sich selbst und andere belügt.P.S. Für eine mildere und differenziertere Geschichte aus dieser Zeit sei (ungelesen) dieses nagelneuer Buch empfohlen: “Here Where We Live Is Our Country: The Story of the Jewish Bund” von Molly Crabapple (klingt wirklich vielversprechend) und dieser Klassiker aus dem Jahr 1941 “Who Goes Nazi?” by Dorothy Thompson.

In 1897, a small group of Jewish Marxists on the outskirts of the Russian empire founded the General Jewish Labour Bund. The Bundists were revolutionary socialists, unapologetic internationalists, champions of the Yiddish language, and implacable foes of nationalism of every stripe, including (especially) Zionism. Bundists helped found the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party, organized militias to defend Jews against pogroms, fought on the frontlines of the 1905 and 1917 revolutions, fought fascists wherever they found them, and helped lead the Warsaw Ghetto uprising.  The history of the Bund is largely forgotten today — in part because Bundists were such early and prescient critics of Zionism. As one of its leader said in 1933, "If Jewish nationalism, as a general rule, is not bloodthirsty, this is only out of necessity, not virtue; if an appropriate opportunity arose, Jewish nationalism would show its sharp teeth and nails no less than the nationalisms of other nations.” Thankfully, Crabapple spent the last seven years rediscovering the Bund's fascinating history for her new book: Here Where We Live Is Our Country: The Story of the Jewish Bund. It was thrilling to have her on to discuss it. “For leftist Jews longing for resources within our own past for combating the Zionist death cult," Crabapple says, "the Bund is a model.” Further Reading: Molly Crabapple, Here Where We Live Is Our Country: The Story of the Jewish Bund, (April 2026) Sam Adler-Bell, "For leftist Jews, the Bund is a model': the radical history behind one of Europe's biggest socialist movements," The Guardian, Apr 7, 2026.

Molly Crabapple is an artist and author from New York. She's the author of the forthcoming book "Here Where We Live is Our Country: The Story of the Jewish Bund". The Bund was a secular, progressive Jewish labour movement that existed in the first half of the 20th century in eastern and central Europe. The Bund, simply meaning organisation in Yiddish, was exactly the opposite of Zionism. They promoted the idea of hereness, which is to say that they did not need to go oppress Palestinians in a far off land to gain their freedom: They would stay and fight and liberate themselves. In the end, of course, the movement was destroyed by Hitler and Stalin. But today the movement serves as a powerful and important counterweight to the traditional Zionist narrative. Jews were not weak! They did not go like lamb to the slaughter! They fought back, and did everything they could to preserve Jewish dignity, Jewish life and Jewish progress, and their memory lives on.

Writer and artist Molly Crabapple visited with "The Shmooze" to speak about her forthcoming book, "Here Where We Live Is Our Country", the first popular history of the Bund. Molly re-creates the Bundists' extraordinary world through dramatic portraits of insurgent poets and antireligious rebels, clandestine revolutionaries and lovers on the barricades. In the aftermath of the Holocaust, Sam Rothbort created “memory paintings” with the hope of resurrecting the vanished world of his shtetl childhood. Decades later, his great-granddaughter Molly discovered these paintings, and one stood out: a girl, her dress the color of sky, hurling a rock through a cottage window. It was this painting—"Itka the Bundist, Breaking Windows"—that introduced Molly to the Jewish Labor Bund. Episode 406 March 5, 2026 Amherst, MA

In the dying days of the Russian Empire, tens of thousands of working-class Yiddish-speaking Jews, radicalized by the triple oppression of capitalism, Tsarism and antisemitism, formed an anti-Zionist socialist party called the Jewish Labour Bund. Hugely influential on the worldwide socialist movement and at its height the largest socialist organization in Russia, the Bund remains for many anti-Zionist Jews (and other socialists) an inspiring example of bravery and committed internationalism in the face of impossible odds. In Episode 90, author and artist Molly Crabapple joins Jay to talk about her new book on the Bund, Here Where We Live is Our Country. In the process of researching this fantastic book, Molly taught herself Yiddish and pored through original sources originally belonging to her great-grandfather, himself a Bundist in his youth. We also discuss the state of antisemitism, real and imagined, in the wake of the Gaza genocide.Show NotesHere Where We Live is Our CountryMolly's websiteMolly's InstagramDefiance by Loubna MrieTheodor Herzl on WikipediaThe Pale of Settlement on WikipediaYiddish on WikipediaHistory of Liberia on WikipediaLinksInstagramMerchfuckingcancelled.comclementinemorrigan.comjaylesoleil.comTheme songFucking Cancelled has no ads and is a supported by our listeners.

Art Spiegelman's Maus almost single-handedly elevated comics from throw-away inserts in newspapers to a serious literary art worthy of winning the highest award in book publishing. But it's not an accident that this book is coming back to us now. Maus was swept once again into the public eye three years ago, when the conservative movement to target marginalized stories took aim at the beloved graphic novel. In this episode, we examine how comic book censorship in the 1950s led to the creation of Maus, and eventually shifted the way we tell stories about resistance, memory, and authoritarianism.You can read a transcript of this episode on our website.

Consumer debt stands at $17.29 trillion and many Americans are drowning in debt, with the average household owning over $100 thousand. The climate crisis, threats to democracy, and global wars add more worry to our already stressful lives. In her new book out from House of Anansi Press, “The Age of Insecurity: Coming Together as Things Fall Apart”, writer, filmmaker, organizer, and the 2023 Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Massey Lecturer, Astra Taylor uses mythology. psychology and the history of capitalism to break down the different kinds of insecurities we face, and explore how our insecurities help capitalism flourish. Without it, the system would cease to function, she says. In her years of work as Co-Founder of the Debt Collective, which emerged from Occupy Wall Street, Taylor has used debt as a tool for bringing people together and organizing. She is the author of The Age of Insecurity: Coming Together as Things Fall Apart, Democracy May Not Exist But We'll Miss It When It is Gone, and The People's Platform (winner of the American Book Award), and the director of What Is Democracy?, among other books and films. In this wide-ranging discussion, Astra Taylor and Laura Flanders discuss the history of capitalism, the rights of debtors, and what we can do to lessen insecurity and expand security both as individuals and as a society. All that, plus a commentary from Laura about language and disruption..“There is a debate here about motivation and what motivates us, and we are constantly being told that if people are too secure, that society's going to collapse and that we can't afford to invest in other folks. And I really want to challenge that idea.” - Astra Taylor“. . . When you start talking about [debt] with others, you realize you're actually in the same boat and you start coming together to demand change, to demand debt cancellation, to demand the provision of these public goods. Debt actually can become a source of power.” - Astra TaylorGuest:  Astra Taylor, Co-Founder of the Debt Collective & Author, The Age of Insecurity*(*Bookshop is an online bookstore with a mission to financially support local, independent bookstores.

Not many people today know about the radical history of the Jewish Labor Bund, the Jewish socialist party founded within the Russian Empire in 1897—but they should. Understanding the Bund is essential for understanding the long and critically relevant tradition of Jewish anti-Zionism. “From the Bund's very earliest days,” artist and author Molly Crabapple says, members “saw that if there was an attempt to create a Jewish ethno-state in Palestine, it would mean a state of eternal war with both the neighboring countries [and] the Palestinians… inside that country.”In this episode of The Marc Steiner Show, Marc speaks with Crabapple about what the history of the Bund can teach us today in the midst of Israel's genocidal war on Palestine, and about how anti-Zionist Jews, including Crabapple herself, continue to fight for a socialist alternative to Zionism.Studio Production: David HebdenAudio Post-Production: Alina NehlichHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Sign up for our newsletterLike us on FacebookFollow us on TwitterDonate to support this podcast
