More quotes by Peter Kropotkin
A national movement, which does not include in its platform the demand for an economical change advantageous to the masses has no chance of success unless supported by foreign aid.
Peter Kropotkin
War is the usual condition of Europe. A thirty years' supply of causes of war is always on hand.
Peter Kropotkin
The law has no claim to human respect. It has no civilizing mission its only purpose is to protect exploitation.
Peter Kropotkin
All this we see, and, therefore, instead of inanely repeating the old formula, Respect the law, we say, Despise law and all its Attributes! In place of the cowardly phrase, Obey the law, our cry, is Revolt against all laws!
Peter Kropotkin
It is only those who do nothing who makes no mistake.
Peter Kropotkin
When we ask for the abolition of the State and its organs we are always told that we dream of a society composed of men better than they are in reality. But no a thousand times, no. All we ask is that men should not be made worse than they are, by such institutions!
Peter Kropotkin
The two great movements of our century -- towards Liberty of the individual and social co-operation of the whole community -- are summed up in Anarchist-Communism.
Peter Kropotkin
Waste of time is the leading feature of our present education. Not only are we taught a mass of rubbish, but what is not rubbish is taught so as to make us waste over it as much time as possible.
Peter Kropotkin
The mutual-aid tendency in man has so remote an origin, and is so deeply interwoven with all the past evolution of the human race, that is has been maintained by mankind up to the present time, notwithstanding all vicissitudes of history.
Peter Kropotkin
War is the usual condition of Europe.
Peter Kropotkin
I understand regicide as a means of obtaining vengeance for the ruin of our lives, but regicide as a means of obtaining political freedom I could never understand.
Peter Kropotkin
Have not prisons - which kill all will and force of character in man, which enclose within their walls more vices than are met with on any other spot of the globe - always been universities of crime?
Peter Kropotkin
Lenin is not comparable to any revolutionary figure in history. Revolutionaries have had ideals. Lenin has none.
Peter Kropotkin
As an anarchist, I cannot reconcile myself to any government.
Peter Kropotkin
It is only by the abolition of the State, by the conquest of perfect liberty by the individual, by free agreement, association, and absolute free federation that we can reach Communism — the possession in common of our social inheritance, and the production in common of all riches.
Peter Kropotkin
Poverty, the existence of the poor, was the first cause of riches.
Peter Kropotkin
You reason like the king, who, being sent across the frontier, called out, 'What will become of my poor subjects without me?'
Peter Kropotkin
The hopeless don't revolt, because revolution is an act of hope.
Peter Kropotkin
Men passionately desire to live after death, but they often pass away without noticing the fact that the memory of a really good person always lives. It is impressed upon the next generation, and is transmitted again to the children. Is that not an immortality worth striving for?
Peter Kropotkin
Think about the world you want to live and work in. What do you need to know to build the world? Demand that your teachers teach you that.
Peter Kropotkin
