Talk:Albert Meltzer

Early years

Were the school governors who disapproved of boxing from The Latymer School? If so, this is surely worth mentioning. Coyets 15:12, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

According to the article on Edmonton he was educated at Latymer so this would seem likely. BTLizard 11:29, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Have added this in - it appears to have been mentioned in a previous version of this article, but removed, not sure why.[1] BobFromBrockley 13:09, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Link to libcom.org

If I follow the fourth link (libcom.org), I get a 404 page telling me that libcom.org is moving to a new content management system at the moment, so it's possible the page I'm looking for has moved, or hasn't been transferred yet. So it seems that the link requires updating. Coyets 15:16, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Anarcho-syndicalist

Meltzer best described as Anarcho-Syndicalist. Can anyone source a quote of him claiming to be an Anarcho-Communist?

Anarchy-syndicalists are anarcho-communists, if you refer back to Rocker, it's simply a tactic of class struggle anarchism. --Sentryward (talk) 23:07, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

No Meltzer preferred simple "Anarchist". He grudgingly accepted the term 'anarcho-syndicalist' to distinguish himself from what he regarded as liberal pseudo- Anarchists. Anarcho-communism among Anarchists is a term of art, distinct from Anarcho-syndicalism. Meltzer should not be called an anarcho-communist. It is all there in his writings.

The Times 28 November 1983, page 17

"The Times 28 November 1983, page 17" is given as a reference (reference 8 at the time of posting) for Meltzer's involvement in a kidnapping. The Times did not appear on that day because of a printworkers' strike. Important stories were covered in subsequent editions but the tale isn't shown there either. I'm deleting the ref. The next ref covers it as well. 217.155.32.221 (talk) 12:08, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

The incident did take place: The Times of 24 November 1983, page 4, does include a short report of the father's involvement in the kidnapping, but Meltzer isn't mentioned. --217.155.32.221 (talk) 12:40, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

Update: Piece from Daily Telegraph 28 November used, instead. --217.155.32.221 (talk) 14:57, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
