Anarchism is a social movement that seeks liberation from oppressive systems of control including but not limited to the state, capitalism, racism, sexism, speciesism, and religion. Anarchists advocate a self-managed, classless, stateless society without borders, bosses, or rulers where everyone takes collective responsibility for the health and prosperity of themselves and the environment.

Prince Pyotr Alexeyevich Kropotkin was born in 1842 and breathed his last in 1921. Kropotkin was a Russian noble. He was educated for army and at the age of twenty he became a military officer in Siberia.

Kropotkin’s great interest in science developed from his military training which he received to get a job. This moulded his life in future. He had a scientific mind and devoted his time and energy to the study of books on science.

As a military officer in Siberia Kropotkin got ample opportunity for geographical survey and expedition. Thus his shift from military service to geo­graphical survey and expeditions enriched the subject profoundly. He contributed many articles to different journals.

Peter Kropotkin was a man of different mentality and attitude. His stay in military service could not satisfy his academic and intellectual requirements and desires and after serving several years he relinquished the job, and entered the University of St. Petersburg in 1867. His vast knowledge in geography brought for him the post of secretary of Geographical Society.

Even this vital administrative post could not detain him for long time. He moved to radical political movements. In 1872, Peter Kropotkin joined the International Workingmen’s Association. Later on he was deeply involved in subversive and anarchical activities. This led him to imprisonment in 1874.

He escaped from prison in 1876 and went to England. The England of the second half of eighteenth century was the centre of revolutionary activities, although she never experienced any revolution.

He also travelled to Switzerland and Paris. While in Paris he was again arrested by the French government in 1883. Released from prison in 1886 he went to England and settled there. While in exile, Kropotkin gave lectures and published widely on anarchism and geography. He returned to Russia after the Russian Revolution in 1917 but was disappointed by the Bolshevik state. The rest of his life was spent without political activity.

Peter Kropotkin was an evolutionist anarchist. But his evolutionism was more scien­tific than that of his predecessors. He wrote several books on anarchism such as ‘The Place of Anarchy in Socialist Evolution (1886), The Conquest of Bread (1888), Its Philosophy and Ideal (1896)’, ‘The State – Its Part in History (1898)’ and ‘Modern Science and Anarchism (1903)’. His deep interest in science, particularly biology and anthro­pology, opened before him new and enchanting vistas of knowledge and all these inspired him to study biological science with added interest.

I like how the new Indiana Jones game portrays the fascist antagonists. They can't really have them be as evil as in real life without ruining the light tone of the game, so there is a risk of them coming off as cool or likable villains. The game avoids this by making them constantly do a bickering comedy routine that makes them look like unpleasant dorks.

Does anyone have counter-arguments to this?

  • The CEO deserves all that money because his decisions affect the whole company.

The best I can think of is, “and the workers as a whole are what make that company possible. Their actions affect the whole company.” But either A, I’m sure they don’t want to hear it or B. I haven’t really tested it so I don’t know if there’s a good counter-counter argument. After all, if you’re explaining you’re losing. Ideally left-wing arguments in the field need to prioritize being shorter and quippier.

"The CEO deserves all that money because his decisions affect the whole company."

Therefore deserving of the bullet.

There's China, I guess, but they're not assisting those who fight against imperialism across the world. There's Iran, but they don't have the nukes. World is looking more and more like the 1930s again and we don't have an USSR this time. Scary.

I'm not a complicated man. Witcher IV good.

howeverI'm mildly disappointed to see that Ciri will be the protag and continuing her path of Witchering. Mostly because my favorite ending to The Witcher III is Ciri accepting her role as Empress. I like this enging for several reasons, some sounder than others, mostly based in pedantic lore nonsense. One, it's fairly well established that Witchering is a miserable way to spend your life, even if you happen to have a few dear companions like Geralt does. Two, there are less and less monsters in the world all the time. Half the reason there are so few Witchers during the decades in which the books/games is because they didn't need to bother rebuilding the Witcher Order after it was mostly destroyed sixty years before the first book because there are so few monsters. It's established, I can't remember if it's book canon or game canon or both, that women can't undergo the mutations that create witchers superhuman reflexes and resistance to toxins because they were designed by callous mages with only boys in mind (and it kills most of them anyway). CDPR will have to have some answer as to why Ciri is drinking Witcher brews and moving supernaturally. Also it renders the subject infertile, so if Ciri's feudal claims are going to be brought up in any way that'll be important. Not implausible questions to answer, lore wise.

Now given that the games establish distinct Witcher schools I imagined we might play as some other Witcher, maybe in some far flung corner of that world. Because I think, assuming this game is going to be about Ciri as a Witcher, they've missed a more interesting story. I'd much rather play a game focused around political intrigue as Empress Ciri. Which I think fits with the books because it seemed to me that Sapkowski got bored with his own premise around book three and wanted to write a sweeping political epic instead, falling back on his strengths as a short story writer to do so. And then every once in awhile we'd get a chapter of Geralt or Ciri doing something less interesting than whatever political aside we just went on. Granted, people would probably be upset if a game called Witcher IV didn't have any monster hunting in it (even though there's very little monster hunting in Geralt's books, which I've always thought was funny) but it'd be easy to do a dual protagonist situation. Ciri for the big political intrigue, and some lone Witcher who sees the repercussions of actions taken during the intrigue out in the real world.

I'd rather they left the franchise alone, Witcher III is a great game and a great capstone on the entire Witcher Saga if you take the books and the games as a whole. Making Witcher IV and making it be about Ciri as a witcher just feels like they can only end up making The Witcher III again but worse, because you can't ever go back and recapture what was. Not counting the mobile games and digital card/boardgames I've played every game that CDPR has put out and I've liked every one of them, so I'm tentatively hopeful that the Witcher 1 remake and this Witcher IV game will be better than I'm imagining.

Also the cinematic trailer for IV is just the Witcher III "Killing Monsters" trailer but longer and starring Ciri.

Preparing to be dissapointed that ciri in witcher 4 game will gonna look way younger than her cgi trailer because even though we live in the "diversity era" every main female character is a young 20s something.
