I was reading an introduction to social ecology, here https://solarpunkanarchists.com/2016/06/05/social-ecology-a-quick-introduction/
and it is suggested -
"a strong belief in scientific rationalism blended with an ethics of non-hierarchical cooperation, Bookchin agreed with Peter Kropotkin, and contra Marxism, that the move towards capitalism and the nation-state had in fact been a step backwards; and that “industrialisation from below” may have been possible had the municipal-confederations of the Middle Ages become the dominant political-economic model instead of the nation-state."
Can anyone tell me where Bookchin or Kropotkin suggested this?
