Bakunin: Statism and Anarchy (Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought) by Michael Bakunin (PDF)

Description

Statism and Anarchy is a complete English translation of the last work by the great Russian anarchist Michael Bakunin, written in 1873. Then he assails the Marxist alternative, predicting that a ‘dictatorship of the proletariat’ will in fact be a dictatorship over the proletariat, and will produce a new class of socialist rulers. Instead, he outlines his vision of an anarchist society and identifies the social forces he believes will achieve an anarchist revolution. Statism and Anarchy had an immediate influence on the ‘to the people’ movement of Russian populism, and Bakunin’s ideas inspired significant anarchist movements in Spain, Italy, Russia and elsewhere. In a lucid introduction Marshall Shatz locates Bakunin in his immediate historical and intellectual context, and assesses the impact of his ideas on the wider development of European radical thought. A guide to further reading and chronology of events are also appended as aids to students encountering Bakunin’s thought for the first time.

⭐You who are viewing this page should congratulate yourself for being willing enough to explore what Anarchism is all about. I commend you once again but reward yourself by obtaining this book. Any of Bakunin’s writings are well worth it, it is a travesty that Anarchism has been dismissed awaken yourself to the possiblity and don’t be afraid to ask why not.

⭐literal dynamite. this man has some very critical and intelligent views on the world that are equally destructive and volatile today. i recommend this book.

⭐If you love to read the works of Lenin and other Marxist leaders and scholars, you might want to read this magnificent work as well. Bakunin’s conception of Anarchy has the same end with that of the communists. They only differ in the means that is to be used in attaining an equal and stateless society.

⭐Michael Bakunin was born landed Russian nobility but he gave all that up to fight for a more just social order. This book is a fascinating read for any student of Politcal Science or Sociology. As Marx’s arch rival at the International Working Man’s Association Bakunin believed that revolution would come from the rabble of society not the well organized industrual workers as Marx beleived. This book takes you to exile in Siberia to the politically charged streets of Paris. One of the best books I have ever read.
