@bill pay my mans if you're deaf then maybe audiobooks aren't the best way to consume literature. Why would you want to be confined to UA-cam anyway when it would be much easier and more convenient to just download a PDF?
They are created on a volontary basis, so obviously most are not comparable to professional audiobooks. But the only way to make it better is to help out yourself to make it better.
Audible Anarchist has the bread book, as well as a number of other fantastic audiobooks. I'm so happy they do what they do and would like to contribute soon, myself.
there's no individual/propertarianism for the poor. The war on drugs infringes on their drugs/property rights, prostitution is illegal, and numerous other victimless crimes. Nobody has propertarianism/capitalism in the world actually.
Michael Shanklin I know you wrote this comment a year ago, but i hope you respond. The author of the previous comment basically meant "the poor experience market discipline while the rich get bailouts". Propertarianism is not synonymous with capitalism, although it may share all of capitalisms charecteristics in theory, it is only a single type. Corporatism, the process by which companies that are "too big to fail" get bailed out, is capitalism. In fact, corporatism is the most common type of capitalism. So in truth everybody, including the wealthy capitalists who are proped up by the state, experiences capitalism, just not the same type so to speak. So i agree that the author was definitely using the wrong terms, but i believe that you are too.
Yes ! Thank you. I am convinced that this man is a genius. I think we should read him more. When they think about anarchy, people think about proudhon, bakunin... I think about peter kropotkin.
Bakunin is still worth reading. Power corrupts the best is an excellent short piece by them that you can find on Marxist.org. Bakunin was also a huge inspiration on the Spanish Anarchists (source: Peter Marshall, Demanding the Impossible).
This was beautiful man I'm glad that there are still anarchists out there who haven't lose their nerves. You must always remember what you stand for and that anarchism is more than being against the government.
I will Love you as you are my brother. We and all life are priceless. Our actions effect each other, and our environment. Conscience has no room for ignorance, or nescience, hierarchy, or slavery. Together we can conquer all that is not healthy, or humanitarian. Bring real love, equity, and equity above ridiculous eqaulity. Divided we choose to alienate ourselves from our world. We are all responsible for what we do, unfortunately man has chosen to 7000 years of hierarchies failure for most everyone, and our environment. We have no need therefore a parasite must be removed before it breeds. Solidarity today Solidarity tomorrow Solidarity forever!
This is one of my favorite pieces of written work. I throw on your videos as soon as they ping my phone, and hadn't even read the title yet. The first few words were familiar-I've recorded this for narration demos before-and within a couple sentences I knew; this is Kropotkin. It was such a pleasant surprise, bringing me back instantly to the first time I opened The Conquest of Bread and absorbed the beauty and care of Peter Kropotkin laying out his vision of a society redeemed, a truly human future. Thank you for reading this to the world.
Thank you for that, I have felt incredibly disillusioned these past few years, barely getting involved in anything anymore. Listening to you reading Kropotkin has shaken me to the core. Cheers for that!
I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor. That’s not my business. I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone - if possible - Jew, Gentile - black man - white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness - not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way. Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost…. The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men - cries out for universal brotherhood - for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world - millions of despairing men, women, and little children - victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish. ….. Soldiers! don’t give yourselves to brutes - men who despise you - enslave you - who regiment your lives - tell you what to do - what to think and what to feel! Who drill you - diet you - treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts! You don’t hate! Only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural! Soldiers! Don’t fight for slavery! Fight for liberty! In the 17th Chapter of St Luke it is written: “the Kingdom of God is within man” - not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people have the power - the power to create machines. The power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure. Then - in the name of democracy - let us use that power - let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world - a decent world that will give men a chance to work - that will give youth a future and old age a security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfil that promise. They never will! Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people! Now let us fight to fulfil that promise! Let us fight to free the world - to do away with national barriers - to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men’s happiness. Soldiers! in the name of democracy, let us all unite!
*Spock:* The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. *Capitalist:* Fuck that! The needs of me outweigh the needs of the many. Actually, not even my needs. My luxurious self-indulgence outweighs the needs and welfare of everyone else. *Spock:* Fuck you.
I understand the overall point, but disagree with the glorification of industrialised farming. Clear cutting land in the name of raw progress is one of the easiest ways to destroy biodiversity, but perhaps I am biased as someone who enjoys Masanobu Fukuoka. He promoted the idea that nature can guide itself, that we are merely stewards, that ultimately plants and living things should guide their own fates. No digging, no weeding, no watering, no application of concentrated ammendments. For me the most striking factor raised by him was that most deserts appear to be man made from overfarming, cattle and no top cover on the soil after the monocrop is collected. So yes we can have great progress and we are able to work together to achieve great things... but we must be mindful of what we are actually doing. No just pragmatically short-term, but pragmatically long-term, as well.
>most deserts are man made Which ones? When we must sustain 7 billion people, it's hard to not perform industrialised farming. If that's true though, then why is the US not covered in deserts, since 40% of it is industrialised farmland? Not watering dry plants is also a pretty shit idea if you don't want to run out of food.
The most contemporary example I know of would be the USA's dustbowl phenomenom, cited here is a document explaining details for that: fraser.stlouisfed.org/scribd/?title_id=838&filepath=/files/docs/publications/books/aidd_wpa_1937.pdf Returning to what I know of Masanobu Fukuoka: This might surprise some people to hear but he felt the greatest indicator that an area would be turned into a desert was it's lack of trees (though heavy cattle farming and slash and burn farming can also contribute), as trees influenced rain. Wicking it up into the atmosphere. This might sound outlandish to some, but it isn't unheard of. forestsnews.cifor.org/10316/make-it-rain-planting-forests-to-help-drought-stricken-regions?fnl=en He argued that to reverse a desert you just needed to introduce plants, fungi and bacteria to the area to change the sand to soil, to induce rain in the area via tree growth and encourage animals and insects, who spread seeds, bacteria and fungi as they eat and expell. And you would be right about that, if you were talking about a plant growing in isolation. If a plant is growing alongside groundcover, watering is rarely required as the ground cover locks the moisture into the soil. Overwatering flushes nutrients from the soil, which is why cannabis growers who use fertilisers flush their plants for 2 weeks with pure water before the harvest period. I do not argue against the need to feed people, I argue against the way we go about trying to do that. For Masanobu Fukuoka the question was not "what must I do" but "what must I not do" and he found himself producing as much as people using chemicals and farming equipment. The thing he found impressive about that wasn't the amount of produce, but rather the amount of produce comparative to the amount of effort required. He didn't have to dig, water, weed, he just prepared many thousands of seeds in clay so they would not be predated upon and once seedbombed... scattered these seedbombs around, mulching clipping from plants onto the soil to enrich it over time and build up the soil, which feeds the plants. He didn't see himself as a successful farmer unless there was time to nap and write poetry. An attitude I deeply admire.
We must be intelligent with our utilization of industry and technology, but it is not wise to give it up entirely. It is possible to keep the land fertile while still using modern agriculture; you must simply be mindful. It is arguable that it is capitalism, with its endless need to grow and to expand, that has caused issues such as overfarming, pollution, etc. Of course, getting rid of capitalism is not enough. Even without the profit motive, socialist industry and agriculture will still impact the environment. But we will be much better equipped to handle it, without having to give up the massive improvements in quality of life brought on by industrialization.
@@itsokaytobeclownpilled5937 Booze Zombie isn't suggesting complete deindustrialization - instead what I think is needed is a REindustrialization, specifically we need to reindustrialize in a way that incorporates the needs of nature, and so that we can work with it rather than against it.

You made my morning a great morning. Thanks for the thought-provoking content you provide. And my advice, continue to put correlative visuals with the more sophisticated readings of philosophers or yourself, as it makes it easier for many to want to listen to. Even though I already read it. :)
Great video as per usual. I ofteI have trouble explaining Kropotkin's ideas to others (usually reactionaries), but this does a great job of expressing those ideas in an articulate and digestible way without making them read a lengthy excerpt.
I didnt watch this video the day it came out cause I wanted to read the book, and now I finally started and finished reading it, it makes so happy to see other people making video out of it for people who (for various reasons) cant read it now
Does anyone know of any other major works of theory that have been put down like the website in the description? I just find that websites format a lot easier than traditional books or ebooks (and I don't have that much money)
Written in 1892 "And we see the coming of a time when artificial light will be used to stimulate vegetation". He got that one right. Partially his biologist/natural scientist side kicking in I'd bet. 'Kropotkin was No Crackpot' by legendary evolutionary biologist Stephen Jay Gould is an interesting read.
Cam, even though this is just you reading from the Conquest of Bread it's a great vid. I was wondering - have you read Murray Bookchin's Post-Scarcity Anarchism? I hear it's very good.
I just found out I got unsubscribed from here even though I never did it. I've heard of UA-cam unsubbing people from independent political channels but I wondered if it was BS. Now I'm a little creeped out.
In our early history we missed the primary lesson in designing a society. We failed to cull out all alpha sociopaths unwilling to adhere to a system of consensus. Instead we afforded them adult status, only to force hierarchy and competition, where it only brings more sociopathy.
Intriguing perspective. I was just musing that the primary issue facing us all today is that some significant portion of us are made up of (generally) men like those who attended the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. Arrogance appears to be our downfall.
Powerful stuff. I like a good deal of it. From a leftist messaging standpoint I like that it is relatively optimistic and clearcut. In my opinion though, it could stand to be read out a little bit slower.
I would love to just see a discussion between the two. I love them both and I think it would be quite interesting to see a back-and-forth between them.
For an introductory crash corse on Peter Kropotkin and his philosophy, check out this video here. ua-cam.com/video/o0p_-kY0MpE/v-deo.html Also excellent video, Libso.
I like the style of this reading, and regret it didn’t show up in my feed earlier. I feel I can share this audio version with dyslexic (and/or capitalist) friends unlikely to give patience to anarchist texts otherwise.
Hey man, love this video but could you please look away from the microphone while breathing during pauses. Its a small thing that really improves the audio, thanks.
There’s no such thing as anarcho communism. Anarchy means free will. Communism means everyone is forced to work and the ruling class gets the majority of what is produced while workers get the bare minimum. Do they not have books on your planet?
Just made a portuguese subtitle , if you want to embed in your original youtube video feel free to download at: amara.org/pt/videos/oRuSEexTWkI6/pt-br/2096468/ Looking forward for the next video.

I love this passage, as relevant today as it's ever been. Glad that you're back at it.

I would love to just see a discussion between the two. I love them both and I think it would be quite interesting to see a back-and-forth between them.
They'd probably agree on 90% of things.
Pridetoons aka Afro Lion i personally find the whole marxist v. anarchist thing a really necessary conversation
I guess that have a video response from xexizy to cameron on xexizy chanel
For an introductory crash corse on Peter Kropotkin and his philosophy, check out this video here.

Also excellent video, Libso.
I like the style of this reading, and regret it didn’t show up in my feed earlier. I feel I can share this audio version with dyslexic (and/or capitalist) friends unlikely to give patience to anarchist texts otherwise.
This could have been written yesterday
I've never heard something like this before. Amazing.
Read the bread book, the whole thing is amazing
Hey man, love this video but could you please look away from the microphone while breathing during pauses. Its a small thing that really improves the audio, thanks.
Why aren't you on twitter man?
Hey I'm currently ml but I'm very interested. Can someone recommend any books about anarcho communism so I can educatate myself.
There’s no such thing as anarcho communism. Anarchy means free will. Communism means everyone is forced to work and the ruling class gets the majority of what is produced while workers get the bare minimum.
Do they not have books on your planet?
And a hundred years later everything but child labor is so accurate its almost like it was written recently
Idealist: My
Materialists: Our!
Well, that was powerful
Please narrate more Kropotkin. Please be the Kropotkin guy.
God damn fucking art.
No gods, no masters. 10/10
I'm wondering how in anarchy people would share their music or art on a global level?
Didn't you work with Quirkology?
Can you do a video on the arrests at Glasgow pride last year? It's a fucking tradegy
Not too shabby.
Anarchy is the future
So fucking good.
Why the hell did UA-cam unsubscribe me from your channel?
"Hypocrisy and sophistry become the second nature of the civilized man."
the conquest of punk
so tru
Beautiful and sadly true
The single best piece of anarchist socialist writing. Period.
I agree with you that we desperately need to get rid of capitalism but I don't agree on how to do it but anyways great video where can I read this?
Darksnovia Which economic system doesn’t exploit the hard working and productive?
Are you sure you don’t mean we need to get rid of crony capitalism?
