Mutual aid and the conquest of bread are brilliant books

@Guitarman123 FGS, the regime of the Tsar was already overthrown. You live a dream there. Lenin was another Bonaparte and destroyed any opposition from either the right or left that stood in his way thereafter. He even promoted Stalin and knew his qualities even then. But have your dream. So you're clinging to it now. Do you really think that enough people will be around that will support you in your claims to bring back Lenin's regime or something like it? Nope

@val70 he didn't like stalin and wanted rid of him and wanted trotsky to replace him as leader of the ussr as he was basically Lenins right hand man. I've made no such claim nor claim to be a leninist, that's nonsense you're attempting to project onto me as you seem to think all people who support communism are leninists

@val70 I don't follow leninism never said I did. I support the Philosophy of marx, engels, guy debord, erich fromm, Antonio gramsci and historian Eric hobsbawm

@Graylight yes he does. The idea of anarcho communism was unfamiliar to me prior to hearing about him. It's interesting as he showcases viable alternatives to capitalism which we as workers are merely servants and are exploited for the surplus value of the wealthy. Peter Kropotkin talks about mutual aid being a part of nature since the days of the animal kingdom whilst acknowledging that we are also driven by self interest but without mutual aid humanity would have collapsed long ago

@Guitarman123 @Guitarman123 Interesting. I seem to know the theory of mutual aid under a more psychological terminology but on its face, completely agree with the hypothesis. I'll look into this material; thank you for the info and insights.

@Graylight my pleasure. He advocated for workers owning the means of production in a Co operative society
