well i think he is one of the most amazing philosophers of all time, who had great writings and ideas about anarchy!
and i almost agree with all of his anarcho communist/pacifist ideas!
anarchy isn't chaos! don't judge things too quickly!

I think you're absolutely right. It's a shame that Kropotkin lived to see his ideals begin to take root after the October Revolution in Russia only to be hijacked and warped by Lenin and his cronies. Anarchism is the only hope for real freedom.
"Living My Life" by Emma Goldman gives some good insight on Kropotkin as a person and what he felt and experienced after the revolution.

Yes, I was very impressed with his prose and the peacefulness in them.

"One of the most amazing philosophers of all time" ???? You must be kidding. He was just a mediocre Russian who witnessed the revolution but could not understand what was going on.
