Phantom 2,533 Posted February 8, 2012 91 years ago today, Pyotr Kropotkin died at the age of 78 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
our Sydney 11 Posted February 9, 2012 From the Wiki entry " Kropotkin advocated a communist society free from central government and based on voluntary associations between workers" I suspect that he deap dow believer in fairies and fluffy bunnies and that the true solid working class hero of the revolution only considered his actions in the light of how they would benifit society as a whole and not try and climb to the top of the heap just like his ansesters had. . . I just love true upper class socialists and their rose tinted view of the "noble worker". . Such fun. Now to put the soap box back Best regards Syd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
