Mikhail Bakunin Quote

I am only free to the extent that I recognize the humanity and respect the freedom of all men around me.

If society had not been invented, man would have continued to be a wild beast, or, what amounts to the same thing, a saint.

In even the purest democracies, such as the United States and Switzerland, a privileged minority holds power over the enslaved majority.

Uniformity is death; diversity is life.

Powerful states can only be sustained by crime. Small states are virtuous only because they are weak.

The state is a historically temporary mechanism, a transitory form of society.
