We delen dit terrein. Met mensen, maar ook met eekhoorns, mollen, marters, zanglijsters en merels, winterkoningkjes en zwartkoppen. Soms zweven er kraanvogels en raven over. En in het aangrenzende bos lopen wolven, dassen, reeën en horen we de bosuil. En zoals de oude anarchist Kropotkin al schreef, de natuur hangt aan elkaar van Mutual Aid. Van elkaar helpen, solidariteit en samenwerking. Ecosystemen zijn anarchistisch 😁

Why don't we have any anarchy gardens in Gbg? Did I miss one, by any chance? Otherwise it would be a lovely initiative for sure.

Proudhon & Kropotkin on education
(excerpts from the podcast)See the AltText:
"We have to look at William Godwin's
brilliant 1793 critique of government.He warned us centuries ago that national
education is fundamentally a puppet show." -
It would only make sense to conclude my re-reading of Kropotkin's works by drawing him (bushy beards are a challenge!).
I particularly like this quote of his on the revolutionary spirit.

"Geertruida worstelde met het keurslijf dat vrouwen werd opgedrongen. Schreef over man-vrouwverhoudingen, seksualiteit, de liefde en de dubbele moraal van het huwelijk. Maar ook over maatschappelijk engagement, feminisme en solidariteit. Haar vriend Peter Kropotkin, grondlegger van het anarchisme, noemde haar ‘een anarchist zonder het te beseffen’, vanwege haar radicale pleidooi voor vrijheid."
Die #Kropotkin weer. :kropotkin:

Any and every form of U.S. “Reconstruction” must logically fail if it is not preceded by a fearless and critically discerning program of “Deconstruction” followed by a thorough, actionable plan to amend, remediate, and then reconstruct the foundations of our society, to begin with, engendering the capacity for all citizens to cooperatively make informed decisions affecting our mutual welfare.
In solidarity,

Kropotkin questioned the legitimacy of home ownership under capitalism:
« The house was not built by its owner. It was erected, decorated, and furnished by innumerable workers - in the timber yard, the brick field, and the workshop, toiling for dear life at minimum wage.
The money spent by the owner was not the product of his own toil. It was amassed, like all other riches, by paying the workers two-thirds or only a half of what was their due.
Moreover - and it is here that the enormity of the whole proceeding becomes most glaring - the house owes its actual value to the profit which the owner can make out of it. Now, this profit results from the fact that his house is built in a town possessing bridges, quays, and fine public buildings.
A house in certain parts of Paris may be valued at thousands of pounds sterling, not because thousands of pounds’ worth of labour have been expended on that particular house, but because it is in Paris; because for centuries workmen, artists, thinkers, and men of learning and letters have contributed to make Paris what it is today - a centre of industry, commerce, politics, art, and science; its streets are household words in foreign countries as well as at home; because it is the fruit of eighteen centuries of toil, the work of fifty generations of the whole French nation.
Who, then, can appropriate to himself the tiniest plot of ground, or the meanest building, without committing a flagrant injustice? »
Hard to disagree given the state of real estate to this day, including in Paris, where I have the privilege to live.
(from The Conquest of Bread, 1892)

Ganz am Ende von Marcel Fratzschers Vortrag auf der re:publica26 geht es um zwei Gesellschaftsentwürfe und eine Frage, die für die heutige Zeit wahrscheinlich wichtiger ist, als alle anderen:
»Welche Form von Gesellschaften kann große Krisen, kann große Transformation besser bewerkstelligen?
Die Anhänger Darwins sagten: Es sind die individualistischen Gesellschaften, die das besser können! Und Kropotkin sagte: Nein, es sind die solidarischen Gesellschaften, die das besser können!
Und hundert Jahre später und viele, hunderte wissenschaftliche Studien später, ist in der Wissenschaft der einhellige Konsens: Die Anhänger Darwins lagen falsch und Kropotkin lag richtig!
Gesellschaften, die einen hohen Wert auf Zusammenhalt, Schutz der Verletzlichsten Gruppen, auf Solidarität, auf Unterstützung auf Gemeinschaft legen, können große Transformationen besser bewältigen.«

Damit entlasse ich Euch ins solidarische Wochenende ;) Sucht Schatten, macht Siesta, trinkt genug, und passt aufeinander auf 💚

« Fine sermons have been preached on the text that those who have should share with those who have not, but he who would act out this principle is speedily informed that these beautiful sentiments are all very well in poetry, but not in practice.
“To lie is to degrade and besmirch oneself”, we say, and yet all civilized life becomes one huge lie. We accustom ourselves and our children to hypocrisy, to the practice of a double-faced morality. And since the brain is ill at ease among lies, we cheat ourselves with sophistry.
Hypocrisy and sophistry become the second nature of the civilized man. »
- Peter Kropotkin, the Conquest of Bread (1892)

« We cry shame on the feudal baron who forbade the peasant to turn a clod of earth unless he surrendered to his lord a fourth of his crop.
We call those the barbarous times.
But if the forms have changed, the relations have remained the same. »
Peter Kropotkin's words ring as true today as they did back in the 19th century.
Maybe it's time I revisit the Conquest of Bread, 20 years after first reading it, to see if it is as enriching of a book as I remember it to be.

Samenleven als zangvogels
`De Russische anarchist en wetenschapper Peter Kropotkin kwam begin twintigste eeuw in opstand tegen de cynische interpretatie van Darwins ‘survival of the fittest’ én tegen de macht van de staat en het kapitalisme. Anno 2026 is zijn gedachtegoed weer springlevend.`

Ik denk dat ik sinds lange tijd maar weer eens de Groene Amsterdammer ga kopen. Want als :kropotkin: #Kropotkin zo mooi op de voorpagina staat, dan moet het gewoon gekocht worden. Eigenlijk vind ik dat @DeGroene gratis een exemplaar aan elke anarchist die daar om vraagt moet geven. :anarchoheart4:
