An Appeal to the Young
Εμείς όλοι που υποφέρουμε, αποτελούμε ένα τεράστιο πλήθος που κανείς δεν μπορεί να υπολογίσει. Είμαστε σαν ωκεανός που μπορεί τα πάντα να σκεπάσει. Η θέληση μας λείπει. Όταν θα αποκτήσουμε τη θέληση, μια στιγμή θα είναι αρκετή για να αποδοθεί δικαιοσύνη...

How do you get people to dedicate their lives to Big Issues? By demonstrating that unless society is fixed, each person's day-to-day is doomed to failure. That's certainly Kropotkin's approach here. He asks the would-be doctor what drug can be prescribed for workers ground down by poverty; the scientist how his discoveries will ever be applied except in service of luxury; the lawyer how he can defend the poor, who really do (and should) break property laws (that are unjust). Instead, Kropotkin u...more
A short essay where Kropotkin tells the new generations (doctors, scientists, etc.) to put their talents at the service of the working class.
Well written and to the point, but also rather predictable. Don't expect big surprises.
A quote about how industrial advances affect labourers: "every new invention only makes his slavery heavier, his labor more degrading, the periods of slack work more frequent, the crisis sharper, and that the man who already has every conceivable pleasure for himself is t...more

This is Kropotkin's plead for the people to unite using Socialism as a wepon to fight the rich and powerful and cause insurrection within the Russia. While technically not politically an Anarchist piece, their is a lot of radical spirit here. (hence my shelving choice)
I felt this was a very well written pamphlet tho devoid of many facts or study's of any kind. The only reason I didn't rate it higher is my personal opinion of Socialism. Dominion is dominion! Even when it's social.

Good appeal but continue to be invalid.Nowadays people are the same sheeps .Anarchy is applied only when there is smart people.The society is on standby for that...actually fro thousands of years.

Pyotr Alexeyevich Kropotkin was a geographer, a zoologist, and one of Russia's foremost anarchists. One of the first advocates of anarchist communism, Kropotkin advocated a communist society free from central government. Because of his title of prince, he was known by some as "the Anarchist Prince". Some contemporaries saw him as leading a near perfect life, including Oscar Wilde, who described hi...more
