My first anarchist book was 'Proudhon's 'What is Property'. I sat in the pub reading it, thinking, "that's interesting". Then my Marxist-Leninist 'friends' turned up, and let's say, the atmosphere in the pub got a bit icy! Working out why they were like that made me an anarchist, because it made me confront the difference between Marxism & anarchism.
wow, i've been paying so much attention to fixing the state to make it provide for the people, that i've been blind to the idea of the people providing for themselves. really eye-opening ideas
If I'm not mistaken, 'The Conquest of Bread' was the first book about anarchism that I ever read. I had just learned about the zapatist area in mexico. However, I wasn't really an anarchist back then. I was more of an urbist, someone who believed in a world of independent cities. It was only after I read 'Democracy vs Freedom' that I truly understood what voluntary organisation meant. I was a mutualist back then. It was only now that I think we could get rid of money.
I helped my Mum & Dad grow our food when I was a kid -- as well as making bread, preserves, etc. For me it just spoke to what I felt, and put beautiful words to that. Hence my recent project: www.fraw.org.uk/aac/index.shtml
Thanks! The last video in my techno-critical mini-series comes out today, and after that I'm toying with the idea (which I've tried to resist from the start) of tackling Saul Alinksky. I think most people who liked Kropotkin will appreciate that.
Bread is about dominance of nature. Government is also about dominance for the ruling class. What can be more obvious than saying goodbye to all forms of hierarchy and dominance?...that is to say...a return to completion without ideology. NATURAL FACTS: There is no abstraction:: only the REAL chance for happiness, meaning, concinnity with all life....as we are best suited for life. Our goal is not exploitation FOR dominance or destruction of the liberty of all life as we know it. But sharing in the miracle of existence without impinging on the HEALTH of YOU!
The problem with this otherwise essentially superb idea is of course blatantly obvious: some people are given bread and are happily exploited thereupon. Those who aren't given bread are subsequently exploited by those who eats.
Kropotkin is not advocating for free bread. In anarcho syndicalism the means of production belong to everyone and for the exchange of a few hours of labor everyone gets from each according to his abilities to each according to his needs.
@@Durruti3434 It's like communism but it skips the Dictatorship of the Worker's part and it skips the Lower Communism (Often called socialism by Lenin and his successors) and moves right into the Higher Communism where you have a stateless, classless, moneyless society in which people work according to their ability and take according to their needs
Whoo-hoo! Sourdough narrative; this is SUCH a 2020s interpretation of anarchism. Middle class "lifestyle" baking, whilst the masses buy mass-produced sliced white bread. Love the irony.

Thank you so much for this video! Such an important reminder of the power of food and the needs of the people.
I bought this book after finding a £10 note outsides a bookstore. It lit the bonfire that had been built in my mind. Truly enlightening stuff.

No! My bread now!
