Anarchism Is Not What You Think It Is -- And There's a Whole Lot We Can Learn from It
The word anarchism has been so stripped of substance that it has come to be equated with chaos and nihilism. That's not what it means. On February 8, 1921 twenty thousand people, braving temperatures so low that musical instruments froze, marched in a funeral procession in the town of Dimitrov, a suburb of Moscow. They came to pay their respects to a man, Petr Kropotkin, and his philosophy, anarchism.
