> He coined the phrase "property is theft!" and became the first person to publicly claim the label anarchist - not as an insult but as a position. His 1840 pamphlet launched a political tradition and a lifelong argument with Marx.

## Bio

Born in Besançon in 1809, Proudhon was a printer who taught himself Latin to set books he couldn't otherwise read. What Is Property?, published in 1840, caught the attention of both French authorities and Karl Marx, who began a correspondence that turned into a Paris friendship during Marx's exile. The friendship shattered when Marx answered Proudhon's The System of Economic Contradictions with The Poverty of Philosophy, a dispute that helped split the anarchist and Marxist wings of the International Working Men's Association. Elected to the French Parliament after the 1848 Revolution, Proudhon called himself a federalist and pushed for workers' councils, cooperatives, and a national bank offering interest-free loans funded by a tax on capitalists - an attempt that failed. He died in 1865, leaving a mutualist philosophy that splintered into individualist anarchism, collectivist anarchism, anarcho-communism, and anarcho-syndicalism.
