Mikhail Bakunin
“The only difference between revolutionary dictatorship and the state is in external appearances. Essentially, they both represent the same government of the majority by a minority in the name of the presumed stupidity of the one and the presumed intelligence of the other.”
Mikhail Bakunin, Statism and Anarchy

Mikhail Bakunin
“If there is a state, then necessarily there is domination and consequently slavery. A state without slavery, open or camouflaged, is inconceivable—that is why we are enemies of the state.”

Mikhail Bakunin
“For the people, the church is a kind of celestial tavern, just as the tavern is a sort of celestial church on earth. In church and tavern alike they forget, at least momentarily, their hunger, their oppression, and their humiliation, and they try to dull the memory of their daily afflictions, in the one with mindless faith and in the other with wine. One form of intoxication is as good as the other.”
Mikhail Bakunin, Statism and Anarchy

Arthur Schopenhauer
“A man is wise only on condition of living in a world full of fools.”
Arthur Schopenhauer, The Art of Controversy

Mikhail Bakunin
“That is because no state, not even the most republican and democratic, not even the pseudo-popular state contemplated by Marx, in essence represents anything but government of the masses from above downward, by an educated and thereby privileged minority which supposedly understands the real interests of the people better than the people themselves.”
