Prince Pyotr Alexeyevich Kropotkin, aka Peter Kropotkin, was a Russian philosopher and activist. He was an advocate of anarchism or what is known as a society which is free from any central rule and is based on the voluntary association of its members. He was also a scientist who was interested in geography and zoology. He came from a Russian aristocrat family and was in line to become a future military officer but renounced his prince hood in the quest for anarchism. He considered that feudalism and capitalism created only artificial scarcity and promoted privilege for a few. Instead he proposed to have a decentralized economy where human evolution can go forward with the help of mutual support, mutual aid and voluntary cooperation. He believed that these traits already existed in different societies and had to be adopted by mankind as a whole for its survival. He was against the concept of having private property and the use of money as an exchange medium for goods and services. He thought that people should contribute to the society as per their capabilities without any payment and take from the society whatever they needed without exchanging their requirements for money. He preached that a man’s worldly possessions should be divided equally among the community after his death.
