Letter From Peter Kropotkin to Alexander Berkman, RE: Blast Personal; not for print Viola. Muswill Hill Row London, N. November 20, 1908 Dear Berkman You are quite right in taking a hopeful view of the progress of our ideas in America.

So long as they remain a knot, a handful, aristocratically keeping apart from the mass of the working men -- th... (From : Anarchy Archives.)
"The time is fast approaching when to call a man a patriot will be the deepest insult You can offer him. Patriotism now means advocating plunder in the interests of the privileged classes of the particular State system into which we have happened to be born." - E. BELFORT BAX. I. I have already several times expressed the thought that in our day the feeling of patriotism is an unnatural, irrational, and harmful feeling, and a cause of a great part of the ills from which mankind is suffering, and that, consequently, this feeling--should not be cultivated, as is now being done, but should, on the contrary, be suppressed and eradicated by all means available to rational men.

Legend tells us that healthy newborn infants aroused the envy and hatred of evil spirits. In the absence of the proud mothers, the evil ones stole into the houses, kidnapped the babies, and left behind them deformed, hideous-looking monsters. Socialism has met with such a fate. Young and lusty, crying out defiance to the world, it aroused the envy of the evil ones. They stole near when Socialism least expected and made off with it, leaving behind a deformity which is now stalking about under the name of Socialism. At its birth, Socialism declared war on all constituted institutions. Its aim was to fell every injustice to the ground and replace it with economic and social well-being and harmony. Two fundamental principles gave Socialism its ... (From : Anarchy Archives.)

CHAPTER VII On the twelfth of November, Kutzovs active army, in camp before Olmtz, was preparing to be reviewed next day by the two Emperorsthe Russian and the Austrian. The Guards, just arrived from Russia, spent the night ten miles from Olmtz and next morning were to come straight to the review, reaching the field at Olmtz by ten oclock. That day Nicholas Rostv received a letter from Bors, telling him that the Ismylov regiment was quartered for the night ten miles from Olmtz and that he wanted to see him as he had a letter and money for him. Rostv was particularly in need of money now that the troops, after their active service, were stationed near Olmtz and the camp swarmed with well-provisioned sutlers and Austrian Jews offering all sorts of tempting wares. The Pvlograds held feast after feast, celebrating awards they...
