Om Kropotkin

Solidaritetsøkonomi: 100 år efter Kropotkin. Af Bjarke Friborg (Konfront, 21. januar 2021). “Gensidig hjælp, solidariske fællesskaber og kooperative samarbejdsformer er centrale elementer i det, der i dag kaldes solidaritetsøkonomi. En af de tidligste teoretikere på området er Pyotr Kropotkin, der døde for 100 år siden i dag.”

Alt er for alle. Af Det anarkistiske videns- og oplysningskollektiv (Konfront.dk, 19. marts 2020). ” Ifølge den anarkistiske tænker Peter Kropotkin, er staten dermed et politisk værktøj for tvang og undertrykkelse, og ikke til politisk forandring. Ifølge Kropotkin, bør vi droppe staten.”

Kropotkins naturalistiske etik. Af Ole Sandberg (Aktivist.nu, 2008, 36 s.; online på Akademia.edu). “Det er ikke muligt her at give en uddybende beskrivelse af evolutionsteorien og de mange diskussioner i denne. Istedet vil jeg give et overblik over den forsimplede version af darwinismen, der er årsagen til det mangeårige brud mellem naturvidenskab og moralfilosofi, og Kropotkins forsøg på at overkomme det.”

Mutual Aid: An introduction and evaluation. By Iain McKay (AK Press, 2010; online på Anarchist Library). “An overview and analysis of Kropotkin’s Mutual Aid showing how it has faired against.”

A meeting between V.I. Lenin and P. A. Kropotkin. By V. D. Bonc-Brujevic (In Defence of Marxism, 28 February 2007). “In May 1919 Lenin met Kropotkin in the Kremlin. Lenin admired Kropotkin, especially for his book The Great French Revolution, but the conversation revealed how the anarchist leader was more interested in this or that cooperative being set up and had lost the general picture of where the revolution was going.” På dansk: Lenin og Kropotkin: en samtale (Sorte Fane Blog).

Kropotkin on Mutual Aid. Review by Paul Mattick (Western Socialist, January-February 1956; online at Marxists Internet Archive). “Provoked by Huxley’s belief that in nature and society the struggle for existence is one of all against all, Kropotkin demonstrated that both in the animal world and human society it is rather mutual aid which secures existence and makes for progress.”

Peter Kropotkin passes through Haparanda in 1917. There are a number of classic pictures of russian revolutionaries in Sweden.
