	Weekly Worker 398 Thursday September 6 2001
		Bakunin stressed repeatedly that he was for this “collective dictatorship” by his “invisible” secret band of conspirators who imposed their hidden control over an anarchic revolution, without any open political structure.
		His “invisible force” is now described as “the collective dictatorship of our organisation”, the “secret organisation” of the invisible controllers, whom Bakunin called the “invisible legion” or the “invisible network.”
		So the “secret collective dictatorship” - definitely not the dictatorship of the proletariat - would hold the real reins of power.

	Was Bakunin a secret authoritarian?
		In fact, rather than promoting a despotic dictatorship over the masses his concept of "invisible dictatorship" is very similar to the "leadership of ideas" concept used by many anarchists.
		Marxists quote Bakunin's terms "invisible dictatorship" and "collective dictatorship" out of context, using it to "prove" that anarchists are secret authoritarians, seeking dictatorship over the masses.
		Simply that whenever Bakunin uses the term "invisible" or "collective" dictatorship he also explicitly states his opposition to government (or official) power and in particular the idea that anarchist organisations should take such power.

	Nechayev and Bakunin's politics
		"This dictatorship is free from all self-interest, vanity and ambition for it is anonymous, invisible and does not give advantage or honor or official recognition of power to a member of the group or to the groups themselves.
		An invisible force--recognized by on one, imposed by no one--through which the collective dictatorship of our organization will be all the mightier, the more it remains invisible and unacknowledged, the more it remains without any official legality and significance."
		It seems clear that while we might have preferred clearer language, this "collective dictatorship" exercises power only to the extent that its ideas, its propaganda, find support and are implemented by the general population.

	Infoshop.org - An Anarchist FAQ - J.3 What kinds of organisation do anarchists build?
		Simply that whenever Bakunin uses the term "invisible" or "collective" dictatorship he also explicitly states his opposition to government (or official) power and in particular the idea that anarchist organisations should take such power.
		In addition, an anarchist organisation must also be a 'collective memory' for the oppressed, keeping alive and developing the traditions of the labour movement and anarchism so that new generations of anarchists have a body of experience to build upon and use in their struggles.
		It is about collective decision making from the bottom up, that empowers those at the "base" of the structure and only delegates the work of co-ordinating and implementing the members decisions (and not the power of making decisions for people).

	Works of Mikhail Bakunin 1870
		Whether Bakunin’s concept of “invisible collective dictatorship” contradicts his libertarian principles is a matter of controversy.
		This is the only dictatorship I will accept, but in order to act, it must first be created, it must be prepared and organized in advance, for it will not come into being by itself, neither by discussions, nor by theoretical disputations, nor by mass propaganda meetings...
		Bakunin’s well-known predilection for the establishment of tightly organized secret hierarchical organizations, for which he worked out elaborate statutes in the style of the Freemasons and the Carbonari, can be attributed partly to his romantic temperament and partly to the fact that all revolutionary and progressive groups were forced to operate secretly.

	Classic Science Fiction Reviews
		But even that threat pales before the one that still looms in their future: Efrafa, a warren that has become a repressive fascist dictatorship, ruled by the brutal and ruthless General Woundwort.
		It's a tribute to the power of the actual narrative that these metaphors are almost invisible in the face of a rollicking good adventur story.
		General Woundwort himself is a fascinating and compelling villain: ruthless, battle-scarred, murderous, physically unstoppable in rabbit terms, obsessed with control, and anything but mad.

	Children of a White God: A Study of Racist "Christian" Theologies by Matthew C. Ogilvie
		The significance of such thinking is that racist Christians are lead to believe that opposition to their segregationalist or supremacist positions is not effected by legitimate government, but by an invisible dictatorship that is dedicated to destroying the Christian religion along with the United States.
		While the Watchtower attempted to add a positive dimension to this supposed reality, by holding that the inferiority of black people would serve them well in God's service and the coming kingdom, it remains that their reading of Biblical texts was overshadowed by the assumption that society was right in presuming the inferiority of blacks.
		One also notes that the anti-Semitic theology we have cited conflicts with the supremacist belief that the non-white races were the beasts of the field created before Adam.

	Creative Loafing Atlanta COVER AMERICA THE THEOCRACY
		While mainstream pre-millennial churches recoil from the word "theocracy," with its echoes of Islamic fundamentalism, conservative clergy are quite willing to advance programs that in incremental stages can lead to a religious dictatorship.
		Yet, these men, their theology and the secretive groups they have founded are like an invisible black hole whose gravity inexorably pulls the religious debate toward a theocracy with its closest parallel in Iran's government-by-mullahs.
		And when the litmus test for political office is a list of religious issues, that's a problem for a society organized around religious pluralism.

	Amazon.com: Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America: Books: Barbara Ehrenreich
		With her characteristic wry wit and her unabashedly liberal bent, Ehrenreich brings the invisible poor out of hiding and, in the process, the world they inhabit--where civil liberties are often ignored and hard work fails to live up to its reputation as the ticket out of poverty.
		She challenges the idea that we are a democracy if large numbers of citizens spend half their waking hours in what amounts to a "dictatorship" in the workplace.
		Even her co-workers subscribed to this myth, working hard so that someday they, too, could live affluent lifestyles, failing to evaluate the extreme unlikelihood that they would ever leave the ranks of the working poor.

	kamera.co.uk - film review - The Battle of Algiers (1966) directed by Director: Gillo Pontecorvo - reviewed by Tim Keane
		All the while director Pontecorvo's painterly eye remains trained on his subject—the almost invisible process by which idealism takes root and transforms ordinary people who push themselves to the far limits of political determination, ruthless violence, and finally, the right side of history.
		Indeed none of Criterion's other bonus material is ephemeral to the appreciation of the film. "The Dictatorship of Truth" contains a documentary of interviews with Pontecorvo and his producers, narrated by the late literary critic and Palestinian activist Edward Said.
		Pontecorvo's fleet footed pacing, his uncanny camera angles and his unexpected, innovative close-ups, not to mention his passion for entirely re-creating the world of wartime Algiers, all come together to sum up entire lives within every montage.

	Fagundes Telles, Lygia
		Lygia Fagundes Telles' most famous novel As Meninas (1973) (The girl in the photograph, 1982) was translated into different languages: This novel deals much more with the political reality of Brazil than the preceding ones because it was written during the military dictatorship which lasted from 1964 to 1978.
		This rift one can only see with one´s imagination opening up a metaphysical space, and this is exactly the art of Telles making visible invisible things.
		Lygia Fagundes Telles published various novels and short stories which are outstanding in their psychological sensitivity and analytical keenness which helped her to perceive subtle gestures and reactions.

	Faceless Enemies
		And, when we ask who they are, where they are, how we could talk with the "markets", we are presented with merely an invisible hand, a faceless ghost, nothing, no one: the governments don't know, the businessmen can't, the politicians don't dare, because this is the state of things, and nothing can be done.
		In their place is left this world in ruins and the faceless dictatorship of the markets.
		In the same way as the anonymous "markets", the policies of those big men prefer to confront the violent faceless enemies which the inhuman brutality of their policies engender.

	Festivals 2002
		One film in the Romanian Cinema section drew a packed house: Lucien Pintille's The Afternoon of a Torturer, a open-ended, part-fact, part-fiction dialogue with a former member of the dreaded Securitate during the Ceaucescu dictatorship.
		Another favourite was animation, with the invisible world of Asian animations taking centre stage, and also tributes to manga guru Tezuka Osamu and Jan Å vankmajer, a man who begrudges the animator label.
		Jan Dara, by Nonzee Nimibutr, one of the most influential filmmakers of Thailand, explored the 'Victorian' morals of Thai society in the 1930s in a highly sensual manner.

	The New American - The Clinton Administration’s Terrorism Connections - November 25, 1996
		This totalitarian dictatorship has been for many years one of the most dangerous villains on the U.S. State Department’s list of nations engaged in state sponsored terrorism.
		Admitting that the IPS intended to “move the Democratic Party& debate internally to the left by creating an invisible presence in the party,” Borosage became a foreign policy adviser to Jesse Jackson and then senior policy adviser to Mr.
		Clinton has romanced and endorsed Yeltsin in spite of revelations that members of his government armed and trained the Aum Shinrikyo cult for its deadly sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway.

	Deus Ex: Invisible War - Art History Online Reference and Guide
		In his youth (during the events of Deus Ex), Chad was the leader of the French revolutionary group "Silhouette", vocally opposed to the MJ-12 conspiracy and the sort of totalitarian, globalized dictatorship they represented.
		Similar to the original Deus Ex, gameplay consists of a mix of exploring city environments and conversing with the inhabitants, and infiltrating facilities patrolled by hostile guards.
		The Illuminati (of Deus Ex) are decendants of the original Bavarian Illuminati founded by Adam Weishaupt.
