Just finished #TheConquestofBread' by #PeterKropotkin, an #anarcho-communist.
Basically, it teaches that we already produce enough for everyone—now let’s stop #hoarding, ditch the #bosses, and #build a #world where bread (and everything else) is free.
Rarely has appeal been made to the good instincts of the masses - only as a last resort, to save the sinking ship in times of revolution - but never has such an appeal been made in vain; the heroism, the self-devotion of the toiler has never failed to respond to it. #kropotkin #theconquestofbread
When there are no longer any destitute, there will no longer be any rich to exploit them. #kropotkin #theconquestofbread
The image is a quote from the book 'The Conquest of Bread' It reads: That we are Utopians is well known. So Utopian are we that we go the length of believing that the Revolution can and ought to assure shelter, food, and clothes to all - an idea extremely displeasing to middle-class citizens, whatever their party colour.
Sometimes you can feel the author's snark through the pages, This is definitely one of those moments.
TLDR: "Yes, it's so damn unrealistic to think that a revolution should provide for its people"
