Anarchist philosopher Kropotkin charts the radical history of anarchist communism. As feudal monarchies collapse, ordinary workers seize factories and farms, forming self-governing communes. But the old powers fight back, unleashing soldiers and spies to crush the uprising. Kropotkin argues these spontaneous revolts are not chaotic, but the natural order of free people governing themselves.
