I never realized how Peter Kropotkin's views were closer to the Austrian school than I thought.

In The Conquest of Bread alone, he had:
- Called out the land monopoly (p. 24)
- Supported voluntary exchange away from the State (p. 46)
- Understood dispersed knowledge long before Hayek did! (p. 86)
- Supported free trade and free association (all of chapter XI)
- Even created a class theory nearly identical to Hoppe's! (p. 267-268)
- Overall opposed central planners

What are your thoughts?
