A letter from Peter Kropotkin

to the workers of western Europe, in 1919.
He was a great man - and his memoirs make good reading too.

This guy was a fool. Here in Estonia we are still trying to clean up the messes made by well-meaning and ineffectual anarchists.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but we can't expect people to have it beforehand. And I didn't think the anarchists ever got any power anywhere, except for a very short time in Ukraine in the early twenties - I would have thought the bosheviks/communists were more of a problem, they certainly had powere - and for a longer time.
