Features: Jean-Jacques Proudhon (born 1808, date of death unknown) was a famous French utopian communist and an active fighter in the Paris Commune. His life was spent in fierce struggles against feudal tyranny, religious superstition, and the promotion of utopian communism. Proudhon was imprisoned multiple times, subjected to trials and exiles, and died in prison after the failure of the Paris Commune. Proudhon believed that all people are born equal, yet society divides them into rich and poor, masters and slaves, great men and small men, etc., which violates the laws of nature. Therefore, he advocated abolishing this unreasonable social system and replacing it with a new society based on public ownership, where absolute equality prevails.
