I'm not proposing these things, but people have to face up to the necessity of birth control if they want freedom to move around, to be healthy, to have a balanced diet, to live like humans...
...Goodman in the preface to this new edition of the classic autobiography of an original anarchist, Prince Peter Kropotkin. The anarchist movement was indeed revolutionary. But its best thinkers in general, and Kropotkin in particular, were not wreckers but visionaries, more concerned with postulating a new society of individual freedom than in the momentary task of destroying the established one.

If he still calls for nothing less than a complete revolution, he also insists that his role within it will be a compassionate and bloodless one.

Such a distinction, and the commitment to it, seems to make sense to a considerable number of Americans-especially the young, who would have to do the killing...
