The Anarchist Prince: Who was Peter Alekseyevich Kropotkin?
From The Collector by By Joseph T F Roberts, PhD Political Philosophy
Kropotkin is one of the most famous proponents of anarcho-communism. But what does that mean?
I am “Bread-Pilled” by Kropotkin’s Vision of Social Utopia
From Center for a Stateless Society by Hank Pellissier
I just finished reading The Conquest of Bread by the Russian anarchist Peter Kropotkin (1842-1921). The book inspired Catalonia syndicalists in the Spanish Civil War, Magonism in Mexico, and the Occupy movement but still… I wasn’t expecting anything, I thought I’d be very bored because the book was written in 1892, I was sure it was going to be outdated, irrelevant, but instead, to my surprise…

From ChillGoblin
This video answers the age old question, what the H is going on with this guy Michael Malice? Is he an anarchist? Why not? Also, could there be a largely unrelated Kropotkin- themed game show in the middle of the video please?

Kropotkin: What Revolution Means
Burn the Bread Book: Industrial Communism Will Not Liberate You
from ziq_essays
For years I've watched a man drive his pick-up truck into the forest around me and cut down all the trees that aren't legally protected. So, every tree that isn't a pine or an oak. The moment a carob or olive or hawthorn or mastic or strawberry tree grows big enough to burn, he cuts it down and drags it away for firewood. He even fells trees I planted, while smiling and waving at me like he’s doing me a favor. I glare at him silently but don’t say a word, knowing he has the full power of the state behind him. He uses the wood to fuel his traditional bakery which has several large outdoor ovens. The much-loved industrial product he produces is bread; a product that has rapidly replaced all the native food-bearing plants of the area as they’ve been cut down to make room for wheat fields.
