Download or read book The Conquest of Bread written by Peter Kropotkin and published by Standard Ebooks. This book was released on 2021-07-21T00:29:42Z with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Conquest of Bread is a political treatise written by the anarcho-communist philosopher Peter Kropotkin. Written after a split between anarchists and Marxists at the First International (a 19th-century association of left-wing radicals), The Conquest of Bread advocates a path to a communist society distinct from Marx and Engels’s Communist Manifesto, rooted in the principles of mutual aid and voluntary cooperation. Since its original publication in 1892, The Conquest of Bread has immensely influenced both anarchist theory and anarchist praxis. As one of the first comprehensive works of anarcho-communist theory published for wide distribution, it both popularized anarchism in general and encouraged a shift in anarchist thought from individualist anarchism to social anarchism. It was also an influential text among the Spanish anarchists in the Spanish Civil War of the 1930s, and the late anarchist theorist and anthropologist David Graeber cited the book as an inspiration for the Occupy movement of the early 2010s in his 2011 book Debt: The First 5,000 Years.

Download or read book Words of a Rebel written by Peter Kropotkin and published by PM Press. This book was released on 2022-03-29 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Kropotkin remains one of the best-known anarchist thinkers, and Words of a Rebel was his first libertarian book. Published in 1885 while he was in a French jail for anarchist activism, this collection of articles from the newspaper Le Revolté sees Kropotkin criticise the failings of capitalism and those who seek to end it by means of its main support, the state. Instead, he urged the creation of a mass movement from below that would expropriate property and destroy the state, replacing their centralised hierarchies with federations of self-governing communities and workplaces. Kropotkin’s instant classic included discussions themes and ideas he returned to repeatedly during his five decades in the anarchist movement. Unsurprisingly, Words of a Rebel was soon translated into numerous languages—including Italian, Spanish, Bulgarian, Russian, and Chinese—and reprinted time and time again. But despite its influence as Kropotkin’s first anarchist work, it was the last to be completely translated into English. This is a new translation from the French original by Iain McKay except for a few chapters previously translated by Nicolas Walter. Both anarchist activists and writers, they are well placed to understand the assumptions within and influences on Kropotkin’s revolutionary journalism. It includes all the original 1885 text along with the preface to the 1904 Italian as well as the preface and afterward to the 1919 Russian editions. In addition, it includes many articles on the labour movement written by Kropotkin for Le Revolté which show how he envisioned getting from criticism to a social revolution. Along with a comprehensive glossary and an introduction by Iain McKay placing this work within the history of anarchism as well as indicating its relevance to radicals and revolutionaries today, this is the definitive edition of an anarchist classic.

Download or read book Peter Kropotkin written by Woodcock George Woodcock and published by Black Rose Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2021-02-15 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anarchism - the concept of a society without authority, of a civil order without any form of constitution or government - has fascinated people almost as long as we have possessed the power of speculative thought. In the general history of anarchism, the name of Peter Kropotkin dominates.Born in 1842 into an ancient military family of Russian princes, Kropotkin was selected as a child for the elite Corps of Pages by Tsar Nicholas I himself. Shortly before his death in 1921, he had moved so far from his aristocratic beginnings and attained such stature as a libertarian leader that he could write with impunity to Lenin, "e;Vladimir Ilyich, your concrete actions are completely unworthy of the ideas you pretend to hold."e;Woodcock and Avakumovic's biography, From Prince to Rebel, details the life that flowed between these two points in time. It surveys and analyses the most significant aspects of Kropotkin's life and thought: his formative years in Russia, 1842-1876, and the origins of his anarchist thinking (military service in eastern Siberia, the influence of the works of Proudhon and Bakunin, his role in the Chaikovsky Circle); his years as an migr in western Europe, 1876-1917, and the ripening of his political though (editor of Le Rvolt, his views on Marxist socialism); and his last years in the Soviet Union, 1917-1921, the revolution and civil war, and his meeting and correspondence with Lenin.Among the recent works of George Woodcock, a well-known Canadian author, are biographies of William Godwin and Pierre-Joseph Proudhon (Black Rose Books). Ivan Avakumovic is Professor of History at the University of British Colombia and the author of History of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia.Table of ContentsIntroduction1. The Youth2. The Explorer3.

Book excerpt: DENNIS DANVERS is the author of the acclaimed novels Circuit of Heaven, The Fourth World, End of Days, Wilderness, and Time and Time Again. An ambitious and compelling novel, The Watch tells the story of Peter Alexeivich Kropotkin, a former prince who renounced his riches to become an anarchist, and his deathbed pact with the mysterious visitor who gives Peter a new life in the future—a seeming miracle with a darker edge that soon comes into focus. Praise for THE WATCH "[A] time-travel romp that offers fresh occasion for the philosophical musings that undergirded his earlier novels. . . . He wrings genuine emotion from a decision that Kropotkin must make when given the chance to bring his theoretical ideas to fruition, at a price that calls into question his deepest ethical beliefs."—New York Times Book Review "Danvers' look at Richmond through Kropotkin's eyes is a delight. . . . [His] evident enthusiasm for Kropotkin and his philosophy of mutual aid are the spark to a passionate and charming book." —Denver Post "Clearly, subtly, agreeably articulated. Danvers spins a grand yarn."—Kirkus Reviews "As entertaining as it is enlightening, [The Watch] is Danvers' best yet." —Richmond Times-Dispatch

Book excerpt: 'The standard book on anarchism for the twenty-first century. Written with brio, quiet insight and clarity' Carl Levy A magisterial study of the history and theory of one of the most controversial political movements Anarchism routinely gets a bad press. It's usually seen as meaning chaos and disorder -- or even nothing at all. And yet, from Occupy Wall Street to Pussy Riot, Noam Chomsky to David Graeber, this philosophical and political movement is as relevant as ever. Contrary to popular perception, different strands of anarchism -- from individualism to collectivism -- do follow certain structures and a shared sense of purpose: a belief in freedom and working towards collective good without the interference of the state. In this masterful, sympathetic account, political theorist Ruth Kinna traces the tumultuous history of anarchism, starting with thinkers and activists such as Peter Kropotkin and Emma Goldman and through key events like the Paris Commune and the Haymarket affair. Skilfully introducing us to the nuanced theories of anarchist groups from Russia to Japan to the United States, The Government of No One reveals what makes a supposedly chaotic movement particularly adaptable and effective over centuries -- and what we can learn from it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A detailed, systematic description of how to build a future society where there is awell-being for all.a This work represents the most mature thought of the Russian anarchist-scientist Peter Kropotkin. Kropotkinas anarchist communism is an alternative to the various forms of state socialism which have proved so disappointing in the century since this book was first published. His ideas are still refreshing and capable of providing a guide to social action. There are many competing editions of this work in print, but this one is designed in the format of a pocket-sized afield-guidea aas, indeed, it was used by Ukrainian and Spanish anarchists trying to build a new society.
