If Kropotkin and Lenin can have a meeting of minds, so can we with the right circumstances
But do note that nothing constructive came from those meetings, Kropotkin had misguided notion of the revolution and keep his own stance which was plainly unrealistic in the conditions. Lenin blamed his advanced age for that and was most likely correct.
Also don’t forget that Lenin was not the only one having a meeting of minds with Kropotkin, for example this gentelman here is Pavel Milyukov:
We’ve done that, they don’t care. They have a failure fetish, since not a single anarchist project has succeeded. Like the reactionaries, they value selfishness, purity and martyrdom over bettering peoples lives materially.
No we can’t. Look at history.
And you wanna repeat the bad history

I just feel that we have a common goal I’m not saying we should turn another cheek but bridge a gap, the best we possibly can from our end.
We have to show them by success the success of our movements.
