Status Updates From The Conquest of Bread (Dove...

4th chapter done. Its true, every man deserves a dwelling, clothes & food. KROPOTKIN IS BASED!
(The preface was of 15 pages, so count it as well, so it will be 15+ x pages)

Happy that he covers reproductive labor. But his solution for that is automation, which, I don't know. I like that at least it's a concern for him.

Love the bits about the intertwining of manual and intellectual labor and how we all basically could work a few hours of manual labor per day (what needs to be done, not much more) and then just enjoy our intellectual and artistic pursuits. It's not a new idea for me, but it's nice to hear it from over a century ago!

Love how he makes clear (and gives examples) that there are egotistical individuals, but humans in general are not selfish and would not try to hog resources like expropriated houses or y'know, bread :P

Done with 4.2, this is based.

Yesss the right to well-being for all. I can get behind that!

Also, I love how enthusiastic the narrator is.

I somehow managed to get through most of the audiobooks I had in my spreadsheet this month, except for two, this one and another one... And I tried to decide what else to listen to, for like an hour, couldn't decide, so now I'm doing this 😅 let's catch that rye!

Done with 4.1, why is this still so relevant even after 133 years? this literally means that the capitalist system never really changes, it cannot be reformed. REVOLUTION IS THE ONLY WAY AHEAD!

Done with the 3rd chapter. Clearly, Anarcho-Communism is the most emancipatory leftist ideology. This is true liberation.

Read till 3.1. It just makes so much sense to just realise communism instead of seizing the state and waiting for it to wither away!
