More quotes by Mikhail Bakunin
We are materialists and atheists, and we glory in the fact.
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
The urge for destruction is also a creative urge!
Mikhail Bakunin
Our first work must be the annihilation of everything as it now exists.
Mikhail Bakunin
But I recognize no infallible authority, even in special questions consequently, whatever respect I may have for the honesty and the sincerity of such or such an individual, I have no absolute faith in any person.
Mikhail Bakunin
Political Freedom without economic equality is a pretense, a fraud, a lie and the workers want no lying.
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
Man is only truly free only among equally free men.
Mikhail Bakunin
The individual who dares commit a crime is guilty in a two-fold sense first, he is guilty against human conscience, and, above all, he is guilty against the State in arrogating to himself one of its most precious privileges.
Mikhail Bakunin
That in order to achieve the triumph of liberty, justice and peace in the international relations of Europe, and to render civil war impossible among the various peoples which make up the European family, only a single course lies open: to constitute the United States of Europe
Mikhail Bakunin
If there is a State, then there is domination, and in turn, there is slavery.
Mikhail Bakunin
Theology is the science of the divine lie.
Mikhail Bakunin
Destroy or be destroyed-there is no middle way! Let us then be the destroyers!
Mikhail Bakunin
It is the characteristic of privilege and of every privileged position to kill the mind and heart of men. The privileged man, whether practically or economically, is a man depraved in mind and heart.
Mikhail Bakunin
I am sure that, on the one hand, the Rothschilds appreciate the merits of Marx, and that on the other hand, Marx feels an instinctive inclination and a great respect for the Rothschilds.
Mikhail Bakunin
He who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.
Mikhail Bakunin
We are convinced that liberty without socialism is privilege, injustice and that socialism without liberty is slavery and brutality.
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
Where the state begins, individual liberty ceases, and vice versa.
Mikhail Bakunin
The communism of Marx seeks a strong state centralization, and where this exists, there the parasitic Jewish nation - which speculates upon the labor of people - will always find the means for its existence.
