Socialist thought By Pierre-Joseph Proudhon(1809-1865)

In particular, scientific socialism includes customs, social values, cultural characteristics, and economic transactions. These are socialist industries, as well as unchangeable natural laws. The ultimate goal of socialists is to lift the mandate, free workers from working for others, and liberate the individual from the necessity of working for others in order to obtain goods. This will make people lead to Their own interests and developing their own talents without concern for working for others. This allows the stage of economic development to be a stage incidental to the existing advances in the productive capabilities of society. However, according to Proudhon, it focuses on satisfying and fulfilling the desires of the induced market in exchange for human requirements. Socialists prove that socialism allows the distribution of wealth on the basis of the contribution of each individual to society, and consequently they aspire to completely replace the system by making necessary adjustments to it in order to create social justice to generate a standard of living Proudhon had a great influence on socialist and anarchist thought, especially in France and Europe.
