Seattle: Luddite Syndicate Publications, 1970. Tabloid. Good. Item #015043
ISBN: noisbn

Side folding tabloid newspaper with a color front cover. Approximately 16 by 11 ½ inches. 8 pp., including covers. Comics, photos and illustrations throughout. Published by the Seattle Liberation Front, the newspaper was "brazenly militant" (Seattle Star website, 9/11/2015) and wrote on a variety of counterculture, left wing, and radical subjects. As the Seattle Star notes, "Sabot's collective staff crucially included local radical feminists among its leadership, and thus its pages featured critiques of male chauvinism within the contemporary antiwar and black liberation movements." It ceased publishing in 1971, due to infighting among the staff that clashed over feminism and male chauvinism. Several members of Sabot formed the George Jackson Brigade collective, which ended at a shootout during a botched bank robbery. A variant printing of Sabot, published after a split in the editorial offices. The editorial in this issue asserts that the Weatherman philosophy had changed, and that its influence within Sabot marginalized women, as well as censored the publishing of pieces that may be critical of the left. Various short articles on events, protests, etc. present, as well as a piece on "A lean hippie is a mean hippie." GOOD condition. Horizontal fold crease present. Moderate browning. Minor soiling and wrinkling. Seed Mailing label on the rear cover (presumably that of the Chicago Seed underground paper).
