More quotes by Mikhail Bakunin

Mikhail Bakunin

Mikhail Bakunin

Mikhail Bakunin

Mikhail Bakunin

Mikhail Bakunin

Mikhail Bakunin

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
A divine falsehood is more powerful than any human truth.
Mikhail Bakunin
...one exploiting sect, one people of leeches, one single devouring parasite closely and intimately bound together not only across national boundaries, but also across all divergences of political opinion ... [Jews have] that mercantile passion which constitutes one of the principle traits of their national character
Mikhail Bakunin
Throw a theory into the fire it only spoils life.
Mikhail Bakunin
Intellectual slavery, of whatever nature it may be, will always have as a natural result both political and social slavery.
Mikhail Bakunin
I bow before the authority of special men because it is imposed upon me by my own reason.
Mikhail Bakunin
Anyone who makes plans for after the revolution is a reactionary.
Mikhail Bakunin
In every State, the government is nothing but a permanent conspiracy on the part of the minority against the majority, which it enslaves and fleeces.
Mikhail Bakunin
Where the state begins, individual liberty ceases, and vice versa.
Mikhail Bakunin
Everything that lives, does so under the categorical condition of decisively interfering in the life of someone else.
Mikhail Bakunin
