About this listen

Story one: The Conquest of Bread by Peter Kropotkin

The deficiencies of the economic systems of capitalism and feudalism are proposed to be how the whole of society is kept in poverty and scarcity and, therefore, under the control of the wealthy few. Written in the late 1800s, this prophetic book reveals the truths of the many abuses against human rights caused by the centralization of industry.

Story two: Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution by Peter Kropotkin

Mutual aid, otherwise known as mutually beneficial cooperation, is explored as having an essential role in both the animal kingdom and human society in the survival of everyone. Supporting the theory and foundation for anarchist communism, Peter presents an altruistic view of society, comparing it to the natural laws of biology and evolution.

Story three: Fields, Factories and Workshops by Peter Kropotkin

Focused on the decentralization of industry, Fields, Factories and Workshops connects anarchism with science based on behavioral trends and tendencies of people. He delivers an economical approach to the formation of a stateless society in which all citizens participate in meeting the needs of the community.

Story four: An Appeal to the Young by Peter Kropotkin

Kropotkin’s most famous pamphlet An Appeal to the Young addresses young professionals entering the workforce, encouraging them to join the cause to incite radical societal change.

Story five: The Life of Kropotkin by CSA Publishing

This is an original biography about the prolific thought leader in communist anarchism. Kropotkin tirelessly approached a cause which he believed would benefit humanity and continued to inspire his fellow countrymen to join the movement until his death in 1921.

Listening to this audiobook really changed my perspective. Kropotkin’s ideas about cooperation struck a chord with me, especially when he talks about how we can lift each other up instead of tearing each other down. It felt so refreshing to hear that we can create a better world together. I found myself thinking about how I can be more supportive in my own community. This book isn’t just theory; it’s a call to action for anyone who wants to challenge the status quo.

A powerful reminder that change is possible.

I wasn’t sure what to expect going into this, but I’m really glad I gave it a shot. Kropotkin’s ideas are powerful and still feel super relevant today. The annotation helps a lot—it breaks things down without dumbing them down, which made the whole thing easier to follow. The narration is clear and steady, not too dry, which is a big plus for something this dense.

Brilliant and surprisingly accessible
