How can one man be so incredibly kind, intelligent and thoughtful, and still be overshadowed by a seething, lazy, violent idler?

Who's overshadowing Anthony Trollope? Widely considered the one of greatest victorian novelists
Marx.
Yeah, Marxism, which claims to be a "radical" ideology is allowed freely to be taught and discussed in mainstream academia. Yet writers like Bakunin and Kropotkin are not touched with a 40 foot pole. Hmmm, I wonder why this is....
Indeed. Because they realise that to the average person Kropotkin and Bakunin are infinitely appealing, while Marxism, obtuse and cluttered by pure ideology, further cluttered by Lenin, Mao, Luxembourg, Adorno, Sartre, Fanon and other such jargon mongers, would never appeal to any worker so deeply.
Which is why Marxism does have success, it's disguised as syndicalism.
Hi Catherine
They are just less appealing and less profound than Marx(pbuh). There is no grand conspiracy.
Genuine 70 IQ Marx cuck here. You are why the revolution never happened,
Bourgeois pest Marx literally had 50 IQ though the only profound thing about him was his retardation.

It's kind of hard to follow the paper trail, since Marx made damn sure he didn't leave much of one, but an investigation even slightly below the surface shows that Marx had friends in very very high places and in all likelihood he was an agent doing their bidding.
I highly recommend reading Franz Mehring's biography of Marx, written in 1919. It is considered to be "outdated" now but for decades it was considered to be the definite biography of Marx. Mehring, despite being a commie himself, shows throughout the book that Marx had tons of wealthy patrons from the elites and the aristocracy. Stuff that used to be accepted as common knowledge among Marxists about Marx's origin story is now silenced and suppressed by them.
NO ONE CAN PULL THIS OFF, AND IT IS ALSO BAD
Pull what off?
It's just a matter of names. Marx rolls off the tongue better than Kropotkin.

Young Marx is pretty good. Marx gets polemical but you have to read the 1844 manuscripts to see his full human side. He definitely had a very "intensely felt unity of all humanity and also nature" kind of view, he just hid it well after that point. Anyway how's Kropotkin? I have Conquest of Bread now so maybe I'll check it out soon. He seems nice. Bakunin not so much.
It has an overwhelming focus on practicality, individualism and lacks the obvious mean contempt that Marx had in side of him.
He outlines a better, freerer, more beautiful soceity, rebuffs points that could possibly been raised against him, and almost prophetically shows the dictatorial and vicious crimes that those who called themselves communsits would commit in the upcoming century. The Proudhonian influenc eis there, but elevated, while also forming an alternate to Marx. Yous should read the Conquest of Bread too.
He also wrote a great book on how the tendency to mutual aid is embedded in every living complex being, and provided genuine biological example in a scientific way.

The conquest of bread was literally the most retarded thing I have ever read.
he's a cornball, i thought he was gonna be based
>t. selfish, superficial zoomers.
Don't worry, you'll never work a day in your life, so you can go back to commenting on classics you've never read after reading Kropotkins wikipedia page.
