Peter Kropotkin
Prince Peter Alexeevich Kropotkin (December 9, 1842 - February 8, 1921) was one of Russia's foremost anarchists and one of the first advocates of what he called "anarchist communism": the model of society he advocated for most of his life was that of a communist society free from central government. Because of his title and his prominence as an anarchist in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, he was known by some as "the Anarchist Prince". He left behind many books, pamphlets and articles, the most prominent being his visionary works, The Conquest of Bread and Fields, Factories and Workshops, and his principal scientific offering, Mutual Aid: A Factor in Evolution. He was also a contributor to 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica.

I am reminded of Peter Kropotkin's words that “In existing States, a fresh law is looked upon a remedy for evil. Instead of themselves altering what is bad, people begin by demanding a law to it.” It is not the law that is actually needed as a starting point, but a change in the attitude. The Pakistani citizens must ...
