More quotes by Mikhail Bakunin
Theology is the science of the divine lie.
Mikhail Bakunin
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
Political Freedom without economic equality is a pretense, a fraud, a lie and the workers want no lying.
Mikhail Bakunin
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

Mikhail Bakunin
The freedom of all is essential to my freedom.
Mikhail Bakunin

Mikhail Bakunin

Mikhail Bakunin

Mikhail Bakunin
Real humanity presents a mixture of all that is most sublime and beautiful with all that is vilest and most monstrous in the world.
Mikhail Bakunin
The privileged man, whether he be privileged politically or economically, is a man depraved in intellect and heart.
Mikhail Bakunin
Throw a theory into the fire it only spoils life.
Mikhail Bakunin
Revolution requires extensive and widespread destruction, a fecund and renovating destruction, since in this way and only this way are new worlds born
Mikhail Bakunin
If there is a State, then there is domination, and in turn, there is slavery.
Mikhail Bakunin
Even the most wretched individual of our present society could not exist and develop without the cumulative social efforts of countless generations.
Mikhail Bakunin
Our first work must be the annihilation of everything as it now exists.
Mikhail Bakunin
If there be a human being who is freer than I, then I shall necessarily become his slave. If I am freer than any other, then he will become my slave. Therefore equality is an absolutely necessary condition of freedom.
Mikhail Bakunin
