The Conquest of Bread Quotes by Pyotr Kropotkin - Goodreads:
"So utopian are we that we go to the length of believing that the revolution can and ought to assure shelter, good and clothes to all - an idea extremely displeasing to middle-class citizens, whatever their party colour, for they are quite alive to the fact that it is not easy to keep the upper hand of a people whose hunger is satisfied."

Yeah! I’ll do that. Good call. I think I need to do it from somewhere that isn’t Memmy though. I didn’t see a way to do it from the app.
