Beschreibung | Michail Alexandrowitsch Bakunin (/bəˈkuːnɪn/; 1814-1876) war ein russischer revolutionärer Anarchist, Sozialist und Begründer des kollektivistischen Anarchismus. Er gilt als eine der einflussreichsten Persönlichkeiten des Anarchismus und als wichtiger Begründer der revolutionären sozialistischen und sozialanarchistischen Tradition. Bakunins Ansehen als Revolutionär machte ihn auch zu einem der berühmtesten Ideologen in Europa, der unter den Radikalen in ganz Russland und Europa erheblichen Einfluss gewann. |
To my utter despair I have discovered, and discover every day anew, that there is in the masses no revolutionary idea or hope or passion.
The freedom of all is essential to my freedom.
From the naturalistic point of view, all men are equal. There are only two exceptions to this rule of naturalistic equality: geniuses and idiots.
Political Freedom without economic equality is a pretense, a fraud, a lie and the workers want no lying.
I listen to them freely and with all the respect merited by their intelligence, their character, their knowledge, reserving always my incontestable right of criticism and censure.
Freedom, morality, and the human dignity of the individual consists precisely in this that he does good not because he is forced to do so, but because he freely conceives it, wants it, and loves it.
A Boss in Heaven is the best excuse for a boss on earth, therefore If God did exist, he would have to be abolished.
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.
