Samenleven als zangvogels

`De Russische anarchist en wetenschapper Peter Kropotkin kwam begin twintigste eeuw in opstand tegen de cynische interpretatie van Darwins ‘survival of the fittest’ én tegen de macht van de staat en het kapitalisme. Anno 2026 is zijn gedachtegoed weer springlevend.`

Ik denk dat ik sinds lange tijd maar weer eens de Groene Amsterdammer ga kopen. Want als  #Kropotkin zo mooi op de voorpagina staat, dan moet het gewoon gekocht worden. Eigenlijk vind ik dat @DeGroene gratis een exemplaar aan elke anarchist die daar om vraagt moet geven. 

Today in Labor History May 30, 1814: Russian anarchist militant and philosopher Mikhail Bakunin was born. In Paris, in the 1840’s, he met Marx and Proudhon, who were early influences on him. He was later expelled from France for opposing Russia’s occupation of Poland. In 1849, the authorities arrested him in Dresden for participating in the rebellions of 1848 & 1849. They deported him back to Russia, where the authorities imprisoned him and then exiled him to Siberia in 1857. During his imprisonment, he lost all his teeth due to scurvy. However, he eventually escaped and made it to England.

In 1868, he joined the International Working Men’s Association, leading the rapidly growing anarchist faction. He argued for federations of self-governing workplaces and communes to replace the state. This was in contrast to Marx, who argued for the state to help bring about socialism. However, he agreed with Marx’s class analysis. Nevertheless, in 1872, they expelled Bakunin from the International.

Bakunin died in 1876 in Bern, Switzerland. He influenced anarchist movements throughout the world, but especially in Italy and Spain. He also influenced the IWW, Noam Chomsky, Peter Kropotkin, Herbert Marcuse, and Emma Goldman. Chomsky wrote that Bakunin’s prediction that Marxist states would ultimately become dictatorships was "one of the few predictions in the social sciences that actually came true." Anarchist historian Paul Avrich wrote that Bakunin's life was full of paradoxes: "[He was] a nobleman who yearned for a peasant revolt, a libertarian with an urge to dominate others, an intellectual with a powerful anti-intellectual streak." And there were numerous examples of antisemitism in his writing, too.

Ninguna lucha puede coronarse con el éxito a menos que ofrezca una formulación clara e inequívoca de su propósito. No es posible la destrucción del orden dominante si, en el momento del derrocamiento o de la lucha que conduce a él, no existe en la mente una idea viva de lo que reemplazará a aquello que debe ser destruido. Pero tampoco es posible la crítica teórica de las condiciones existentes si quien la ejerce no tiene en mente una imagen más o menos concreta de lo que reemplazará la situación actual. El ideal, la percepción de algo mejor, se forma, consciente o inconscientemente, en la mente de todo aquel que critica las instituciones sociales. Esto es aún más cierto en el caso del hombre de acción. P. Kropotkin
