May 30 1814 saw the birth of Michail Alexandrovich Bakunin, one of anarchism's giant thinkers. Among his writings are such works as Stateless Socialism: Anarchism, The Immorality of The State, What is Authority? and many others. After meeting Marx he is quoted as saying:
"As far as learning was concerned, Marx was, and still is, incomparably more advanced than I. I knew nothing at that time of political economy, I had not yet rid myself of my metaphysical observations... He called me a sentimental idealist and he was right; I called him a vain man, perfidious and crafty, and I also was right"Quote from Brian Morris's: Bakunin, The Philosophy of Freedom, 1993, p14.
If money can buy everything, then we are lost. If money can not buy everything, then we won. Simple as that.
