Kropotkin died in 1921 so you’d be explaining it to him using wireless radio or telegram cables or similar.
A newspaperman has invented a new way to transmit the encyclopedia over the radio without you having to visit a library. A machine like a very complicated typewriter takes your cable and returns the entry from the encyclopedia to you immediately. They charge for this service but do not pay the encyclopedia writer, and the ink for the typewriter is made by burning down a forest and polluting a river. The newspaperman also takes the labor of his employees for profit and directs the government in his whims, and frequently changes the output of the encyclopedia to meet his political ends.
While you may disagree those are bad things, it would certainly be consistent with Kropotin’s world view to he against it.
