Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, the influential French economist and philosopher, challenged the foundations of capitalism and advocated for workers' rights, mutualism, and social justice with his seminal works on property, anarchism, and economic theory. From his provocative declaration that "Property is theft!" to his vision of a decentralized, self-governing society based on voluntary cooperation and solidarity, Proudhon's ideas continue to inspire movements for economic democracy and social change, offering alternatives to the inequalities and injustices of the modern world.
"Communism is inequality, but not as property is. Property is exploitation of the weak by the strong. Communism is exploitation of the strong by the weak."
"A common danger tends to concord. Communism is the exploitation of the strong by the weak. In Communism, inequality comes from placing mediocrity on a level with excellence."
