It was mostly commendable of Proudhon to introduce to the materialist socialists the fact of there being major economic contradictions in there perception of wealth, poverty and theft in the organisation and constitution of the State. He certainly introduced the idea of an individual's sovereignty within the ethical restraints of reciprocity, call it mutualism without an overseer, which could have been the next stage for chatel slavery's peaceful metamorphosis into labor and industry exchange hubs. No more blues in the cotton fields, but an up tempo dixie jazz feel to community relationships and the sharing of infrastructure.
