| | | | | | Tolstoy: Encyclopedia II - Burdock - Uses The taproot of young burdock plants can be harvested and eaten as a root vegetable. While generally out of favor in modern European cuisine, it remains popular in Asia, particularly in Japan where A. lappa is called gobo (牛蒡 or ごぼう). Plants are cultivated for their slender roots, which can grow up to 1 meter long and 2 cm across. Burdock root is very crisp and has a sweet, mild, and pungent flavor. Immature flower stalks may also be harvested in late spring, before flowers appear; the taste resembles that of artichoke ...

| | | | | Tolstoy: Encyclopedia II - Anna Karenina - Thematic overview The novel, set among the highest circles of Russian society, is generally thought by the casual reader to be nothing more than the story of a tragic romance. However, Tolstoy was both a moralist and severe critic of the excesses of his aristocratic peers, and Anna Karenina is often interpreted overall as a parable on the difficulty of being honest to oneself when the rest of society accepts falseness.

| | | | | Tolstoy: Encyclopedia II - Christian anarchism - Anarchist Biblical views and principles Many Christian anarchists hold a higher critical view of the Bible and therefore do not feel obliged to follow the complete text as law. They base their beliefs on what they think are the simple principles and historic messages of Jesus, rather than obediently following every passage in the Christian Bible. Leo Tolstoy and Ammon Hennacy subscribed to this philosophy.
A few of the key historic messages Christian anarchists practice are the principles of nonviolence, nonresistance and turning the other cheek, which are illustrated in ma ...

Christian anarchism - Nonconformism.
In 1533, Anglicanism was formed after Henry VIII opposed certain Vatican decisions and directives, including Pope Clement VII's refusal to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon and England's obligation to pay taxes in the form of Peter's Pence. Then over the 17th and 18th centuries several English Dissenters, such as George Fox, Isaac Watts and John Bunyan, criticised the Church of England and split away from Anglicanism. Nonconformist organisations include the Religious Society of Friends, also known as the Quake ...

| | | | | Tolstoy: Encyclopedia II - Christian anarchism - Catholic Worker Movement The Catholic Worker Movement, founded by Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin on May 1, 1933, is a Christian movement dedicated to nonviolence and simple living. Over 130 Catholic Worker communities exist in the United States where "houses of hospitality" care for the homeless. The Joe Hill House of hospitality (which closed in 1968) in Salt Lake City, Utah featured an enormous twelve feet by fifteen foot mural of Jesus Christ and Joe Hill.
The Catholic Worker Movement has consistently protested against war and violence for over seven decades ...

Christian anarchism - Søren Kierkegaard.
Søren Kierkegaard (1813 - 1855), a Danish philosopher and theologian who some consider to be the archetypal Christian anarchist for his theory that the claims culture and state make on an individual lie in opposition to the claim God makes on all people. Kierkegaard advocated perfect obedience to God even if that conflicted with the bourgois customs, secular law and government. He has been compared to Max Stirner, the great individualist anarchist. Kierkegaard is regarded as the father of Christian existentialism.

| | | | | Tolstoy: Encyclopedia II - Mahatma Gandhi - Civil rights movement in South Africa 1893–1914
Mahatma Gandhi - Inspirations.
During his years in South Africa, Gandhi drew inspiration from the Bhagavad Gita and the writings of Leo Tolstoy (especially The Kingdom of God is Within You [1]), who in the 1880s had undergone a profound conversion to a personal form of Christian anarchism. Gandhi translated Tolstoy's A Letter to a Hindu (available at wikisource), written in 1908 in response to aggressive Indian nationalists. The two corresponded until Tolstoy's death in 1910. The letter by To ...

| | | | | | Tolstoy: Encyclopedia II - Nonviolence - How does nonviolence work? The nonviolent approach to social struggle represents a radical departure from conventional thinking about conflict, and yet appeals to a number of common-sense notions.
Among these is the idea that the power of rulers depends on the consent of the populace. Without a bureaucracy, an army or a police force to carry out his or her wishes, the ruler is powerless. Power, nonviolence teaches us, depends on the co-operation of others. Nonviolence undermines the power of rule ...

| | | | | Tolstoy: Encyclopedia II - Nonviolence - The methods of nonviolent action Hunger strikes, pickets, vigils, petitions, sit-ins, tax refusal, go slows, blockades, draft refusal and demonstrations are some of the specific techniques that have been deployed by nonviolent movements. Throughout history, these are among the nonviolent methods used by ordinary people to counter injustice or oppression or bring about progressive change.
To be effective, tactics must be carefully chosen, taking into account political and cultural circumstances, and form part of a larger plan or strategy. Walter Wink points to Jesus C ...

| | | | | Tolstoy: Encyclopedia II - Nonviolence - Living nonviolence The embeddedness of violence in most of the world's populous societies causes many to consider it an inherent part of human nature, but others (Riane Eisler, Walter Wink, Daniel Quinn) have suggested that violence - or at least the arsenal of violent strategies we take for granted - is a phenomenon of the last five to ten thousand years, and was not present in pre-domestication and early post-domestication human societies. This view shares several characteris ...

| | | | | Tolstoy: Encyclopedia II - Nonviolence - Criticism Leon Trotsky, Frantz Fanon, and Malcolm X were fervent critics of nonviolence, arguing variously that nonviolence and pacifism are an attempt to impose the morals of the bourgeoisie upon the proletariat, that violence is a necessary accompaniment to revolutionary change, or that the right to self-defence is fundamental.
In the midst of violent repression of radical African Americans in the United States during the 1960s, Black Panther George Jackson said of the nonviolent tactics of Martin Luther King, Jr.:
