If you took the most ardent revolutionary, vested him in absolute power, within a year he would be worse than the Tsar himself.
Mikhail Bakunin
Image
A divine falsehood is more powerful than any human truth.
Mikhail Bakunin
Image
No theory, no ready-made system, no book that has ever been written will save the world. I cleave to no system. I am a true seeker.
Mikhail Bakunin
Image

Mikhail Bakunin

When the people are being beaten with a stick, they are not much happier if it is called the People's Stick.
Mikhail Bakunin
Image
I am not myself free or human until or unless I recognize the freedom and humanity of all my fellowmen... I am truly free only when all human beings, men and women, are equally free. The freedom of other men, far from negating or limiting my freedom, is, on the contrary, its necessary premise and confirmation.
Mikhail Bakunin

Mikhail Bakunin
Image
Everything that lives, does so under the categorical condition of decisively interfering in the life of someone else.
Mikhail Bakunin
Image
By striving to do the impossible, man has always achieved what is possible.
Mikhail Bakunin
Image
We wish, in a word, equality - equality in fact as a corollary, or rather, as primordial condition of liberty. From each according to his faculties, to each according to his needs that is what we wish sincerely and energetically.
Mikhail Bakunin
Image
Political Freedom without economic equality is a pretense, a fraud, a lie and the workers want no lying.
Mikhail Bakunin
Image
Our first work must be the annihilation of everything as it now exists.
Mikhail Bakunin
Image
The privilege of ruling would be in the hands of the skilled and the learned, with a wide scope left for profitable crooked deals carried on by the Jews, who would be attracted by the enormous extension of the international speculations of the national banks.
Mikhail Bakunin
Image
Theology created the fiction of Satan which represents the revolt if an infinite being against the existence of an absolute infinity, against God.
Mikhail Bakunin
Image
Liberty means that a man is recognized as free and treated as free by those who surround him.
Mikhail Bakunin
Image
Everything will pass, and the world will perish but the Ninth Symphony will remain.
Mikhail Bakunin
Image
Christianity is the complete negation of common sense and sound reason.
Mikhail Bakunin
Image
Theology is the science of the divine lie.
Mikhail Bakunin
Image
Destroy or be destroyed-there is no middle way! Let us then be the destroyers!
