The art of pforu is a closely guarded secret and time-honored tradition of the OOT. Learn it, respect it, use it.

Jesus, who are you going to vote for, Brezhnev?

Besides I don't see the connection to a anarchist prince who gave up a life of luxury because of his beliefs about equality, and someone who was a contributing member of an oppressive centralist government.

I would prefer to compare people based on their actions rather than equating a humanitarian to a dictator simply because they both say nice things.

All dictators and tyrannical rulers twist ideology to suit their purposes - they also all say nice things and then do horrible things.

I don't equate capitalism to fascism because the fascists were also capitalists. So, I don't think it is reasonable to compare a good-hearted theorist like Kropotkin to a madman like Brezhnev simply because Brezhev abused the ideology surrounding marxism (which isn't even the anarchism Kropotkin advocated for anyway) in order to gain power, prestige and control.

Ah assuming evolution needs to be cutthroat, eh? Ever thought that fighting at this stage in our evolutionary history is actually much more likely to get us killed than not?

Actually it is funny that you would use "evolution" as your next angle of attack on Mr. Kropotkin since he is best known for his work a theory of evolution that attempts to account for species (even different species) working together as part of the evolutionary framework.

If you look at species like lichen, it is clear that competition is only one factor in the evolution of species.

Being Cutthroat while coming across as nice is my policy.
