Yeah, yeah, I know that it sounds like the title of a Camera Obscura album track but What Marx Should Have Said To Kropotkin is in fact the transcript of a talk that long time SPGBer Adam Buick gave at the 1994 SPGB Summer School which was held at Ruskin College that particular year.
Drawing on quotes from Maximilien Rubel's article Marx, Theoretician of Anarchism Adam suggests that there is case for stating that: "Marx was, if you like, the first coherent and consistent theorist of an anarchist communist society."
If you think you can hear a faint cackle from a graveyard in North London, that will be the late George Walford telling his bedmates: "What did I tell you all these years? I think we can now lose the brackets on the anarcho in the (anarcho) socialist party."

Will read at the weekend.
Sounds like a laugh fromthe description.
From reading it, I can't say it raised a smile.
Just thought you should be forewarned in case you were intending to invite friends and family around for a party like atmosphere when reading it.
