The doctrine of Kropotkin's anarcho-communism can be summed up in a few words:

(1) All production is free from the forces of capitalism, and the workers are free to use the results of common labor (i.e., the goods produced). (This is economic freedom)

(2) Freedom from government and freedom to organize all kinds of associations and groups, whether they are simple or complex. (This is political freedom)

(3) Freedom from the moral bondage of religion to reach the realm of freedom without obligation or sanction. Maintaining the relations of people's lives by the feeling of mutual aid. (This is moral freedom)
