Incidentally, I've just been unpacking moving boxes, and put the beautifully illuminated [1] print of Mutual Aid on my "to-read" bookshelf.

I wonder how often this particular instance of Baader-Meinhof phenomenon happens on HN, i.e. what's the intersection of regulars here and people familiar with names like Kropotkin, Makhno, etc.

It's not difficult to find Kropotkin's name popping up in many places online.
Of course it's not. I just wonder how common it is with people who frequent HN, which is a very unrepresentative sample of the population.
