The thing is Kropotkin's actual book presented it as a scientific principle of evolution, which is nonsense. Yes, there are biological examples of cooperation (such as eusocial insects like bees and ants), but this only works because of the unusual reproductive strategy they use where all the members of a hive are siblings. That doesn't mean that humans can't choose to cooperate, but this choice has nothing to do with biology or evolution.
