I thought these days about Bakunin and mainly about Kropotkin. Most of the great socialist thinkers of the 19th century were, with the excess of Prudhon, bourgeois (I know that there is an explanation for this, however, I do not intend to deal with it in this thread); The cases of Kropotkin and Bakuni draw special attention because, in addition to the bourgeois privilege, both kept in their family lineage the royal privilege, they had blue blood.
I'm not an expert in the biography of either of you, but, well, patience.
Kropotkin was a polymath, all his studies converge at some point to his anarcho-communist thesis (mainly geographical and anthropological studies); Kropotkin was a prince (the structure of Russian nobility is different from the western, being prince did not mean to be heir to the throne of the tsar, but still was a rather important title), had for himself reserved a rather comfortable destination.
Bakunin was born within the nobility and aristocracy of the Tver region,since the beginning of life had been thought for him a brilliant career in the Russian army.
I don't know if it's just retardation on my part to think like that, but the hopes of these people in a better future seem to have totally stolen their lives. Pretty dumb that idea isn't it? I thought so, but it seems true.
"To believe too much" seems to be harmful in all aspectsps; to use as an example: Does it not seem strange that the "carola" xingamento was created in a time when most of the Brazilian society identified itself as a Catholic Christian? The one who "believes too much" will always be seen as a sucker and will always be passed back and the less pragmatic is the most hateful belief is the one who believes.
All this tourobosta of living in the most honest and honorable way possible, loving and being kind to the neighbor, seems to be just that, tourobosta.
Of course, these conclusions are very obvious and there is nothing new in everything I wrote, but these days I was thoughtful about how deeply these same concepts are rooted in the general idea of socialism even if general likes to banish the cold and calculating scientist; you know, that bid of all can live with dignity and, in the case of communes, "give to each".
Long and unnecessary Walltext, I don't even know why I wrote that.
