Bakunin on Anarchy

1972Mikhail Bakunin

4.4/5

I read this years ago. It's dense and a little boring at times, but this is one of the most influential texts on contemporary anarchism. Anyone unfamiliar with the ideology should probably avoid it, but anyone who wants to further their understanding of the sharp development of anarchist philosophy during the Age of the Enlightenment may want to give it a read. It unfortunately lost influence as fascism, Adam Smith's idea of capitalism (now abandoned) and Marxism rose to prominence. Shame really because if you spend any amount of time thinking about what democracy should be, you'll eventually arrive at anarchism.You'll never find anything on this subject at school and will grow up believing anarchism is synonymous with chaos and home-made bombs. I think the depth of a collection of essays like this would raise some eyebrows.
