Alexander Berkman and his decision!

On July 6, 1892, the Homestead Strike had been beaten down by the Pinkerton Brigade ( to read on my blog, last June 30 ).
From that moment, Alexander Berkman decided to kill the manager of the Carnegie Steel Company, Henry Clay Frick.
His friends stood behind him!
At July 23, 1892, he tried to kill Frick with a gun, but he did not succeed!
This man survived the attempt and Alexander Berkman was sentenced to 28 years imprisonment.
In his book: "Prison memoirs of an anarchist" he describes his years in jail. A silence, lonely, misunderstood period of his life.
Emma Goldman stood always behind him!
After 14 years in jail, he is free and begins a struggle to come back in society.
At June 28, 1936, he takes his life.

Till now, I struggle with the attitude of Alexander Berkman.
His life was completely dedicated to Anarchism (not in the way the Media abuse this word).

I am against violence, but without struggle will nothing be reached and big changes never occure without some violence.
Nobel Prize Winner Nelson Mandela too, did not refuse to use violence sometimes.
A minimum of violence is necessary in some cases.

According the Old Testament, Mozes (existed or not), being indignationed  about the mistreatment of a slave by an overman, killed the abuser. The slave was a Jew and Mozes did not know at that moment, that he was a Jew too.

The pacifism of Mahatma Gandhi, appealed to the conscience of English machinists, when they had the command to kill Indians sitting on the railway not to kill them.

In the culture of the Inuits, a very good hunter was nearly not punished, because the group needed such a man.
This is an example of what Karl marx says: "The economic basis determines the superstructure".

Every situation is different, it is impossible to give one solution that is always right.
But Alexander Berkman will often come to me with the question: 'Has justice the last word or is there something that goes beyond, something people gives there life for..... ?'

What is wisdom?
To me is the answer:
To distinguish what can be changed and what can not be changed!

Keep alive
Aleke!
