The Anarchist: Mikhail Bakunin, Part Two
This is the tale of how Karl Marx and Mikhail Bakunin fought it out in what would be the most nasty intellectual battle of the 1800's - and how would the political left have looked like if the anarchists had won? "I hate Communism because it is the negation of liberty and because humanity is for me unthinkable without liberty. I am not a Communist, because Communism concentrates and swallows up in itself for the benefit of the State all the forces of society, because it inevitably leads to the concentration of property in the hands of the State, whereas I want the abolition of the State" - M. Bakunin. By and with Francis Lundh
