Molly Crabapple, _Here Where We Live Is Our Country: The Story of the Jewish Bund_ (One World, April 2026)

https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/646320/here-where-we-live-is-our-country-by-molly-crabapple/

ISBN: 9780593229453
Hardcover $32.00 (480 Pages)

>> … Once the most influential Jewish political force in eastern Europe, the [Jewish Labor] 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.”

>> Here Where We Live Is Our Country reanimates a band of idealists who broadened our global political imagination. As we once again contend with nationalism, repression, and the struggle for belonging, the Bund’s remarkable story and message—that liberation, dignity, and solidarity must begin where we stand—reaches across time as a guide to our own urgent moment.

Jag måste medge att jag blev smått chockad. Hur var detta möjligt, att bryta igenom den historiska glömskan och tystnadsvallen kring den socialistiska arbetarrörelsen Bund? Mellankrigstidens väldigaste judiska rörelse i Polen, dessförinnan i det ryska tsardömet, som krossades under Förintelsen.

"There is no ethical way to use the major AI image generators. All of them are trained on stolen images, and all of them are buit for the purpose of deskilling, disempowering and replacing real, human artists" 🎯 Molly Crabapple - 2023

I love the quote from Meyer London: "Are you aware that in Russian Poland, thousands of our Jewish boys and girls are giving their lives ... for liberty? they ... pray to God, not to lead them again out of Egypt, but to help them free Egypt."

Read this book!

'In her new book, Molly Crabapple brings to life the extraordinary story of the secular #JewishLaborBund, which was active in #EasternEurope beginning in 1897 and continued its work into the 1930s. The #Bundists sought dignity and equality “here where we live,” not in a distant homeland.'

Ruby Elliott Zuckerman on the Jewish labour bund and Molly Crabapple's book on the same

'the Bund ran a complex network of schools, self-defense squads, athletic clubs, literary journals, unions and local courts, designed to celebrate Jewish life and protect Jews from ever-surging antisemitic hostility...a Bundist meant knowing that he was secular, proudly Jewish, believed firmly in egalitarian values, and was critical about the founding of Israel'

"I spoke about how they shame their critics as stupid and backward, about how their narrative of inevitability is a way of getting people to comply in advance. Nothing humans do is inevitable, I said. It is all determined by politics, money and power" 🎯 Molly Crabapple

One more time wi feeling: Molly Crabapple on the bund

'Yes, it’s hideously racist here, but also it’s not genetic. It’s not that these Europeans are fundamentally evil. It’s because of these systems that blame Jews to take the heat off of the autocracy or off of the capitalists or off of the ruler. And we can actually fight alongside Russians or Poles or French or German people for a better world'

'Bundists rejected Zionism because it offended the core principle of their project: that ethnic particularity need not lead to nationalism, that it could be the basis for organizing across difference'

#DzeńZiemi #MollyCrabapple #NaomiKlein #AstraTaylor #Doikayt #Tutejszość #DzieńZiemi

W historycznych (powstałych "za ludzkiej pamięci") koloniach #LudyRdzenne, a co najmniej pamięć o nich, są ważnym probierzem naszej (tj. uogólnionych "ludzi białych") zmiany nastawienia do tych, których nasi przodkowie zdominowali i wyniszczyli. Jednak na terenach skolonizowanych w czasach prehistorycznych, gdzie migracje i kolonizacje odczytujemy z haplogrup i materiałów archeologicznych, fiksacja na "rdzenności" prowadzi do konfuzji czy wręcz nadużyć.

Z pomocą przychodzi "Doikayt" - tutejszość, którą, za Molly Crabapple, zaproponował @ayoub i Naomi Klein oraz Astra Taylor, które piszą:

We wschodniej Europie, przed faszystowską i stalinowską zagładą, żydowski socjalistyczny Związek Pracy zorganizował się wokół jidyszowej koncepcji Doikayt, czyli „tutejszości”. Molly Crabapple, która napisała (niebawem wychodzącą) książkę o tej zaniedbanej historii, definiuje Doikayt jako prawo do „walki o wolność i bezpieczeństwo w miejscach, w których żyli, wbrew wszystkim, którzy chcieli ich śmierci” − nie ucieczki do Palestyny lub Stanów Zjednoczonych.
Być może potrzebna jest współczesna uniwersalizacja tej koncepcji: przywiązanie do prawa do „tutejszości”, tej konkretnej chorej planety, do tych kruchych ciał, do prawa godnego życia w dowolnym miejscu na planecie, nawet jeśli nieuniknione wstrząsy zmuszają nas do przeprowadzki. „Tutejszość” może być przenośna, wolna od nacjonalizmu, zakorzeniona w solidarności, szanująca prawa tubylców i nieograniczona granicami.

Tutejszość, pozwala nam uniknąć fantazjowania o odwieczności, rdzenności i wyjątkowości naszych relacji z tym czy innym kawałkiem ekosystemu. Pozwala nam odetchnąć głęboko tu-i-teraz i spojrzeć na naszych bliźnich-sąsiadów jak na współgospodarzy, o równych nam prawach i obowiązkach wobec "wspólnego pastwiska". Od tego zaczyna się Wielka Zmiana, którą Klein i Taylor formułują za autorkami podcastu "How To Survive The End Of The World":

W tym momencie, gdy faszyzm dni ostatecznych prowadzi wojnę na każdym froncie, nowe sojusze są niezbędne. Ale zamiast pytać: „Czy wszyscy podzielamy ten sam światopogląd?” Adrienne zachęca nas, byśmy zapytali: „Czy bije pani serce i czy planuje pani żyć? Proszę przejść tędy, a resztę ustalimy po drugiej stronie”.

Czego i nam wszystkim życzę (z lekkim opóźnieniem) z okazji Dnia Ziemi.

“We confused the power to hurt each other with the power to hurt the powerful. And here we are.”
—Molly Crabapple

"#Generative-art #AI is just beginning. If illustrators want to stay illustrators, the time to fight is now. #MollyCrabapple and the #CenterforArtisticInquiryandReporting call on artists, publishers, journalists, editors, and journalism union leaders to take a pledge for human values against the use of generative-AI images to replace human-made art."

> .. #MollyCrabapple is.. challenging this theft. “#AI art generators are trained on enormous datasets... millions upon millions of copyrighted images, harvested without their creator’s knowledge, let alone compensation or consent. This is effectively the greatest art heist in history. Perpetrated by respectable-seeming corporate entities backed by #SiliconValley venture capital. It’s daylight robbery,” a new open letter she co-drafted states.
