Max Nomad was the pseudonym of Maximilian Nacht (15 September 1881 – 18 April 1973), an Austrian-born American author and educator.
[2] From 1903 to 1907 Max, his older brother Siegfried and, sometimes, Senna Hoy in Zürich edited five volumes of a militant journal, Der Weckruf (The Alarm).
In 1908 Max went to live in Kraków, where he became involved, along with Jan Wacław Machajski, in setting up a group called Workers' Conspiracy.
Nomad wrote of himself: I remain a lone-wolf philosophical anarchist whose sympathies go out to the poorest of the poor struggling for more and more of the good things of life.
But I feel akin only to those rebellious but politically unattached intellectuals who dream of justice and an equal chance for everybody, but know, as I do, that, given the eternal recurrence of predatory elites, and the incurable ignorance and gullibility of the masses, a privileged and educated minority will always rule and exploit the uneducated majority.
