Monday's Quote

Here's a truly radical concept, promoted by Prince Peter Kropotkin (1842-1921), a Russian geographer and philosopher. I wonder if people will ever develop to the degree implied in this idea:

"Anarchism is the name given to a principle or
theory of life and conducted under which society
is conceived without government-- harmony in
such a society being obtained, not by submission
to law, or by obedience to any authority, but by
free agreements concluded between the various
groups, territorial and professional, freely
constituted for the sake of production and
consumption, as also for the satisfaction of
the infinite variety of needs and aspirations
of a civilized being."
