Talk:Peter Kropotkin

Marxim-Leninism
Here's the exact quote from the source: The anarchist Peter Kropotkin (1842–1921), following Mikhail Bakunin (1814–76), the arch opponent of Marx in the First International, considered Marxism, and its Leninist variant in particular, a centralizing authoritarian ideology. In Communism and Anarchy, Kropotkin argued that State communism was a contradiction in terms as: “... without freedom the whole structure of co-operation would collapse” (Kropotkin cited in Morgan, 2003: 129) (attn @Peaceray) -- asilvering (talk) 05:44, 6 December 2022 (UTC)


 * This is misleading. Communism and Anarchy was written in 1901, so it could not react to Marxism–Leninism directly. His attitude after the October Revolution (source) was more complex and pragmatic: While he re-affirmed his principles, he expressed support of the Revolution, and great respect for Lenin. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 21:02, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
