 Basic Bakunin   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Bakunin's ideas are revolutionary in a very full sense, being concerned with the destruction of economic exploitation and social/political domination and their replacement by a system of social organization which is in harmony with human nature.
Bakunin was aware that such union degeneration was inevitable but only arises in the absence of rank and file control, lack of opposition to undemocratic trends and the accession to union power to those who allow themselves to be corrupted.
Bakunin, being consistent with other aspects of his thought, saw organization not in terms of a centralized and disciplined army (though he thought self discipline was vital), but as the result of decentralized federalism in which revolutionaries could channel their energies through mutual agreement within a collective.

 Bakunin and the Historians
Bakunin played a key role in disabusing the nascent Italian revolutionaries of patriotic illusions, and persuaded them that a social, not merely a political, revolution was necessary.
Sadly, many anarchists know little more of Bakunin than a few aphorisms (the urge to destroy is also a creative urge, "I shall continue to be an impossible person so long as those who are now possible remain possible") and perhaps a general sense of his critique of, and battle against, Marxism.
Clearly she was unfamiliar with Bakunin's "Manifesto of the Russian Revolutionary Association to the Oppressed Women of Russia" (excerpted in Dolgoff), of his defense of his sister's right to escape a love-less marriage, etc. Similarly, recent writers in the anarchist press have attributed a wide variety of conflicting economic views to Bakunin.

Bakunin also emphasised the social nature of humanity and individuality, rejecting the abstract individualism of liberalism as a denial of freedom.
Bakunin, for example, built upon the practical activity of the followers of Proudhon in the French labour movement in the 1860s.

 "the coast of utopia" at the royal national theatre london
Granted, Alexander Herzen, Michael Bakunin and Vissarion Belinsky are not exactly household names even to the most committed contemporary theatergoer.
Herzen, Bakunin and Belinsky form the triumvirate backbone of the trilogy and, although Stoppard clearly admires this trio, he does not idolize them.
Thrashing about the stage in the throes of an excruciating ineptness, Keen's Belinsky seems to speak without being fully aware of where his words are coming from, as though he were some hapless medium channeling torrents of brilliance from an uncontrollable, unknown source.

 The capitalist system by Russian anarchist Michael Bakunin
Now we know, without room for doubt, that according to all the doctrines of the old political economy, wages cannot have any other basis than the regulation between supply and demand, although the result is that the remuneration of labor is reduced to what is strictly necessary to not perish by starvation.
The bourgeois will never read it or, if they read it, they will never want to comprehend it, and if they comprehend it they will never say anything about it; this work being nothing other than a sentence of death, scientifically motivated and irrevocably pronounced, not against them as individuals, but against their class.
Parts of the text were originally translated into English by G.P. Maximoff for his anthology of Bakunin's writings, with missing paragraphs translated by Jeff Stein from the Spanish edition, Diego Abad de Santillan, trans.
