The Liberator (magazine)

The Liberator was a monthly socialist magazine established by Max Eastman and his sister Crystal Eastman in 1918 to continue the work of The Masses, which was shut down by the wartime mailing regulations of the U.S. government. Intensely political, the magazine included copious quantities of art, poetry, and fiction along with political reporting and commentary. The publication was an organ of the Communist Party of America from late 1922 and was merged with two other publications to form The Workers Monthly in 1924.

History

Content

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 sundry revolutionary leaders of the world found space on its pages.

The Liberator (CEB press)

The Liberator is a high-performance, open-source, compressed-earth block (CEB) press, developed by Open Source Ecology.

In tests it has produced 6 bricks per minute with manual controls. It has a theoretical limit of 12 bricks per minute with automatic controls.

Open Source Ecology does not aim to make profits, and has adopted a marketing model accordingly. Thus the Liberator can sell for a price 5 times smaller than that of equivalent commercial presses. Because the entire project of the press uses open source, any other group or person can make clones (or variations) of this press without having to pay royalties.
