Can anyone get hold of Berkman/Malatestas autographs please?

im going subtle with the anarchist tattoo idea and just getting one of either two's signatures done. I've tried google images and can't find shit- though i did find Kropotkins. Nice guy, some ground-breaking ideas but the whole supporting imperialist wars stuff just makes me not want to get it done.
*knows for fact that's going to start its own debate.*

I'll sell you Berkman's autograph for 200 bucks.
PS. Tell me who to make the autograph out to.

Your prerogative obviously, but I tend to think that political tattoos aren't a great idea, at least tattoos that revolve around historical figures. I can't think of any writer whose work I admire that I don't have problems with too, or whose political practice involves things I'd want to distance myself from. I'd certainly not want permanent tributes to them on my body for that reason. I suppose things like stars are a bit different.
Just go for flora and fauna based tattoos, thats what I do

Of course, but there's lines I draw.
Kropotin- whos signature I actually found, is one of the greats.... but he fucked up with the imperialist war...
and I could go the opposite way and forgive huge issues- like Makhno (I do not like the platform that much).

Can any maths geeks amongst us write us up an actual mathmatical equasion to demonstrate Marx's great line of "From those of the greatest ability to those of the greatest need."?
I think it'd be awsum.

well for a start that's not what the quote is. 'from each according to ability, to each according to need' - i.e. give what you can in order to take what you need
presumably you're taking the piss though, so my apologies..

c: what comes from each
g: what goes to each
a: ability
n: need
c(a), g(n)
What comes from each is a function of ability, what goes to each is a function of need.
It'd make a really shit tattoo.

The line wasn't by Marx. Though it's often credited to him (and sometimes to Engels) it came from Auguste Blanqui.

Not Blanqui, but Blanc: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/From_each_according_to_his_ability,_to_each_according_to_his_need
why go subtle?
