One Of Our Anniversaries.


     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.

  1. If money can buy everything, then we are lost. If money can not buy everything, then we won. Simple as that.
