    Fake ass anarchists telling me to read Kropotkin as if this is what he wrote

    We cry shame on the feudal baron who forbade the peasant to turn a clod of earth unless he surrendered to his lord a fourth of his crop. We called those barbarous times. But if the forms have changed, the relations have remained the same, and the worker is forced, under the name of free contract, to accept feudal obligations. For, turn where he will, he can find no better conditions. Everything has become private property, and he must accept, or die or hunger. The result of this state of things is that all our production tends in a wrong direction. Enterprise takes no thought for the needs of the community. Its only aim is to increase the gains of the speculator. Hence the constant fluctuations of trade, the periodical industrial crises, each of which throws scores of thousands of workers on the streets

    But don’t like worry about the fundamental structure of society that allows for this to happen, that would be worrying about "ism"s! Just wank on wank off about individual responsibility!

    Pyotr Kropotkin
