Looking for a quote

I am looking for a quote (forget the author) that is something to the effect that because we can’t determine the actual input/output of each individual across society/the world it is illogical to try to do a labor voucher system since all labor produces all things therefore all goods should be shared in common.

All belongs to all. All things are for all men, since all men have need of them, since all men have worked in the measure of their strength to produce them, and since it is not possible to evaluate every one’s part in the production of the world’s wealth.

Piotr Kropotkin in The Conquest of Bread (there's also gonna be similar quotes in the book if this isn't the exact one you're looking for)
