Kropotkin has as much to do with communism as Kirk Cameron does with evolutionary theory. Also Russia was too economically backward to sustain a socialist revolution without the sucess of the revolutions in Europe. Lenin says this in his speeches and writings. They never moved past state-capitalism, but tankies don't read, and so you have tankies everywhere upholding the state-capitalist USSR as a holy model for "socialism". Chinese revolution was completely bourgeoisie.
Kropotkin literally created Anarchist Communism and is absolutely most definitely a communist which is why when he died the USSR threw a massive funeral for him. Your little analogy there makes absolutely no sense whatsoever
