The Liberator, arguably the greatest radical magazine ever produced in America, began in the spring of 1918 as a successor to the New York left wing political, artistic, and literary magazine The Masses, which had been effectively terminated by postal censorship and Justice Department prosecution during World War I. Masses editor Max Eastman and his sister Crystal, a fine journalist and leading feminist of the day, determined to carry forward the Masses project in new clothes. The pair hoped to escape the political controversy which had handicapped and sunk its predecessor by launching a revised, smaller-format magazine with a new name.

The change of name did not mean a change of political orientation, however. As with The Masses, The Liberator continued to support various tendencies of the socialist movement, gradualist to revolutionary. The publication supported the labor movement in all its forms, remaining partial to the syndicalist Industrial Workers of the World, but still providing coverage to all radical elements in the labor movement, including those guiding independent unions such as the Amalgamated Garment Workers and those working to radicalize the American Federation of Labor.

The Liberator’s international news coverage was first-rate. Legendary war correspondent and Communist Labor Party founder John Reed reported the ongoing situation in Soviet Russia; major reports were filed from across tumultuous post-war Europe by Robert Minor, Hiram K. Moderwell, Frederick Kuh, and Crystal Eastman. Pivotal conventions of political parties and labor unions were covered in depth by intelligent participants. The great political trials of the day were reported in detail with perception. Speeches and articles by the great revolutionary leaders of the world found space on its pages. Nearly a century after the fact, The Liberator remains an essential primary source for the political history of its era.

As with The Masses, The Liberator relied heavily upon political art, including contributions from some of the finest talents of the day. Among the artistic worthies who graced the publication’s pages were Art Young, Robert Minor, Lydia Gibson, Boardman Robinson, William Gropper, Maurice Becker, J.J. Lankes, and Fred Ellis. Each color cardstock cover of The Liberator was unique and distinctive, a miniature work of art, again echoing its illustrious predecessor. Poetry and fiction fleshed out its pages, including work by Carl Sandburg, Claude McKay, Arturo Giovannitti, and others. The magazine was, in short, a monthly intellectual banquet for the American radical intelligentsia, available on newsstands for just two thin dimes.

Maintaining a low cost of the elaborate publication for its readers came at a huge price, however. To economize, ultra-thin newsprint was used for the magazine’s pages — cheap and terrible, high in acid content. The result was predictable, a publication as fragile and ephemeral as a spring wildflower. Nine decades after the fact, the few surviving copies of The Liberator, (particularly from the years 1918-1922) are inevitably browning and brittle, whisked by worried librarians from the general stacks of research libraries into the far less accessible special collections departments. Thus a great irony: the most important of American radical magazines of the early 1920s, The Liberator, is at the same time among the least readily available.

The Liberator ran into trouble in 1922 — both financial and motivational, as editor Max Eastman’s interests shifted from the mundane work of editing to book writing. Eastman ceded his editorial blue pencil around the first of January 1922, with literary critic Floyd Dell taking over the job.Throughout 1922 political matters were somewhat deemphasized in favor of art and culture under Dell’s watch. When finances became tight that year, the underground Communist Party of America moved to fill the void, working with Eastman, Dell, and the core of writers behind the magazine towards a friendly takeover of the publication effective in October of that same year. After the fall of 1922, The Liberator emerged as the de facto official organ of the CPA and its “Legal Political Party” sibling, the Workers Party of America — maintaining a similar graphic style and orientation toward fiction, albeit with a noticeable ideological narrowing of political content. Long articles began to be published by prominent Communist leaders, including C.E. Ruthenberg, John Pepper, William Z. Foster, Jay Lovestone, and Max Bedacht. Former anarchist turned Communist true believer Robert Minor served as editor during this period, assisted by Joseph Freeman as an associate editor in charge of literary material.

In 1924 The Liberator was merged with the Workers Party’s “Trade Union Educational League” magazine, The Labor Herald, and its “Friends of Soviet Russia” monthly, Soviet Russia Pictorial, to form a new publication. This new magazine, The Workers Monthly, was fundamentally similar to the 1923-24 vintage Liberator and continued as the Workers Party’s de facto theoretical journal until 1927, at which time it was given a new form and title as, The Communist. This magazine continues today, known since 1946 as Political Affairs.

Simultaneously, a new large format artistic-political monthly reminiscent of the original Masses (known as, appropriately enough, The New Masses) was launched by the Communist Party in May 1926. This publication carried The Liberator’s torch forward for another decade before gradually morphing into a plain paper newsweekly akin to The Nation or The New Republic. The New Masses was merged with the party general interest monthly Mainstream in January of 1948 to form Masses and Mainstream, a publication vaguely similar in format to Reader’s Digest, albeit with Communist political content.

The MIA Liberator/Workers Monthly Project

In an attempt to make this valuable resource available on the net, Marxists Internet Archive has embarked on a project to obtain and digitize the entire run of The Liberator. Issues were collected by MIA volunteers Tim Davenport and Mitch Abidor over a period of several years. Issues were painstakingly cut and sleeved in archival sheet preservers to prevent further chipping and tearing of the paper and to make them ready for scanning.

The first round of scanning and conversion to pdf format took place in 2006 and was performed by MIA volunteer Brian Baggins. Brian also worked at converting materials to html format, generating files which provided the raw material used to generate many of the revised files here.

After a hiatus of about two years, The Liberator project again began to move forward in 2009, starting with work on a new index by Davenport and David Walters. Additional scanning and conversion to html format of selected articles is expected to take place in 2009.

There are currently 11 issues of The Liberator run which remain to be acquired, all of which are noted in the index. If you happen to hold one or more of these issues and would be willing to loan them or sell them for use in this project, please get in touch: MutantPop@aol.com

Researchers needing immediate access to issues not available here are advised that a run of the publication exists on microfilm, available through the New York Public Library.
