El apoyo mutuo, de Kropotkin, es uno de los grandes libros univer­sales. Un hecho que evidencia tal afirmación es que continúa siendo reeditado y que constantemente se encuentra agotado. Es un libro que siempre ha sido difícil de conseguir, incluso en bibliotecas, ya que parece estar en demanda permanente. Cuando Kropotkin decidió marchar a Siberia, en julio de 1862, la geografía, zoología, botánica y antropología de esta región eran es­casamente conocidas. Allí, su trabajo de investigación en este tema fue sobresaliente. Las publicaciones resultantes de sus observaciones meteo­rológicas y geográficas fueron publicadas por la Sociedad Geográfica Rusa, y por este trabajo Kropotkin recibió una de sus medallas de oro. La teoría kropotkiniana sobre el desarrollo de la estructura geográfica de Asia representó una de las grandes generalizaciones de la geografía científica, y es suficiente como para otorgarle un lugar permanente en la historia de esta ciencia.

Review of 'Mutual Aid: A Factor in Evolution' on 'Storygraph'

ive been poor for most of my life. and i remember how much we needed to rely on our small latine community. 

a section near the end made me cry. the similarities between Kropotkin's observations of mutual aid in the slums of Europe and my experiences in poor Hispanic communities made me tear up in sheer joy. i felt hope for humanity for the first time in so long. closing the book after finishing it wasn't a sorrow, but a triumph. 

Kropotkin is my grandpa now. 

Review of 'Mutual Aid' on 'Goodreads'

One of my favourite books of all time. I even did my thesis on it. I would highly suggest it to anyone. Though negated by modern sciences and psychology you will be amazed how much of social Darwinism still lurks in today's "common sense" as manufactured by ones in control. Usually the arguments that are quite famous and repeated often to support capitalism and fascism still unconsciously arise from long negated but not yet dead social Darwinism. This work is the only complete response and scientific negation of social Darwinism. Social Darwinism in the past has been a weapon of fascists, totalitarians (tankies), and capitalists alike to support their arguments. You will be amazed how many common arguments in favour of racism, colonization, patriarchy and the mindset of such poisonous nature are production of social Darwinism. Kropotkin was amazing! I love all of his writings.

Review of 'Mutual Aid: A Factor in Evolution' on 'Goodreads'

A fundamental work on cooperation in nature and society and in my opinion a better entry point to anarchist philosophy than "The Conquest Of Bread". Although it is considerably less prosaic it forms a basis on which theory can be built, establishing that a society without authority has functioned and could do so again.
