Overview

Peter Kropotkin was born into the nobility of 19th century Russia, however even at an early age he began to reject the trappings of aristocracy. Kropotkin advocated for a form of socialism that differed from the Bolsheviks. His version of socialism was one in which the society was free from central government and based on voluntary associations between workers. He believed that any socialist state that rose to power through authoritarian means would be doomed to failure and would ultimately lead to the restoration of a capitalistic system.
