Kropotkin and Malatesta

[Sinister Intents]

I'd like to see opinions on these two individuals, a summary of their ideas, and a critique of them.

I've my own opinions on these two and their writings and ideas, I just want to see everyone else's opinion

They are both pretty accessible, especially Kropotkin, and can serve as good introductions to anarchist thought. I don't think either of them really came up with any revolutionary ideas, they more or less just came up with better iterated ideas of anarchism, especially that of the class struggle or collectivist variety.

Kropotkin was not nearly as critical of science and technology as I think people should be, and of course supported WWI.

Malatesta, was not nearly as critical of platformism as I think people should be, and ended up in agreement with it.

I don't hate on either of them, but they are definitely not the first two names I would throw out in a list of anarchists that have inspired me personally.
