The Anarchist Prince Who Challenged Darwin, Lenin, and Leo XIII
Piotr Kropotkin, a naturalist and anarchist thinker, refuted the distortion of Social Darwinism by demonstrating that cooperation and mutual aid are essential biological factors for survival, beyond mere competition. In his work, he challenged both savage capitalism and authoritarian statism and hierarchies. His legacy resonates today in cooperative structures such as those in Bolivia and proposes a third way against extreme individualism and state control, centered on reciprocal aid for the common good.
