Fermin Rocker was born in 1907 in the old East End, the son of Milly Witkop, immigrant Yiddish-speaking radical daughter of, for that generation, untypically tolerant orthodox Jews, and of Rudolf Rocker, the legendary anarchist theoretician and practitioner and a German Catholic.
Rudolf taught himself Yiddish and English and became the recognised leader of the Jewish sweated workers in the East End, as well as editor of the Yiddish anarchist weekly, the Arbeiter Fraint.
Rocker was duly flattered, as he should have been, by these comparisons, but he always resisted my own references to Edward Hopper, in conversation and in print.

 Review of Rudolf Rocker: Nationalism and Culture   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Rudolf Rocker is recommended by Chomsky, whose own anarchist thinking is strongly influenced by him, as one of the best writers on anarchism and this is probably his finest work - a brilliant libertarian analysis of the development of power, the cult of the state and their relationship with human liberty and culture.
Rocker argues that brute force is insufficient to command obedience over long spans of time and the ruling classes have always sought to implant the idea that their rule is legitimate and inevitable.
Rocker surveys the development of State power from ancient times, paying particular heed to developments after the Renaissance when nation-states increasingly came to be formed.

Rocker père wrote many books, some of which are still read by anarchists and the larger number of students of the movement, but he was a man of action, whose memorial is his life as a radical political activist — described in a famous and influential book, William J. Fishman's East End Jewish Radicals (1975).
Rudolf took his young son to parks, museums and historical places, but it was the busy Port of London — the Heathrow of its day — that most enthralled the boy and it was there that he did his first drawings on visits with his father:
Fermin Rocker has joined his ancestors and I mourn his passing but I rejoice that, with the support of his son and some friends, he survived so long, fit enough in mind and body to continue making art almost to his dying day.

 Noam Chomsky and the Law, by Robert Barsky
Rudolf Rocker insists in his writings about anarchy upon the importance of individual responsibility, which he discusses in the sections of his work that recall the importance of "natural law" for an anarchist society.
Rocker links the idea of responsibility to issues of human creativity and potentiality, and thus it is not surprising that in discussions of law and responsibility, he makes frequent reference to the domain of cultural activity.
Most of them, writes Rocker, "inspired by biological and related science, had abandoned the concept of an original social contract" and " recognised the state as the political instrument of privileged minorities in society for the rulership of the great masses".

Yet RUDOLF ROCKER seem incapable of writing solemn lyrics without countering with something daft, and so Shaky Egg celebrates a much maligned ovoid percussive implement con brio.
RUDOLF ROCKER creates music oblivious to the whims of fashion, faction and advanced consumer capitalism and so is able to always remain fresh, fruity and hopelessly out of sync.
