All We Have Is Each Other

A live discussion with anarchist artist and illustrator N.O. Bonzo on their compelling update of Peter Kropotkin’s seminal work, Mutual Aid: An Illuminated Factor of Evolution. In his 1902 collection of essays Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution, Peter Kropotkin demonstrated that mutually beneficial cooperation and reciprocity—in both individuals and as a species—plays a far more important role in the animal kingdom and human societies than does individualized competitive struggle. Kropotkin carefully crafted his theory making the science accessible. Every page of this new edition of Mutual Aid has been beautifully illustrated by one of anarchism’s most celebrated current artists, N.O. Bonzo. The reader will also enjoy original artwork by GATS (Graffiti Aaginst the System) and insightful commentary by David Graeber, Ruth Kinna, Andrej Grubacic, and Allan Antliff.
