Bakunin?

[Fascist-Hunter]

I have often heard that some people think Bakunin was an antisemit.

I'm not sure if this is correct; I haven't read all his books yet. in those which I have read I couldn't find any prove of this.

can anyone give me a hint or the title of his work where he uses antisemitic paroles/ideas/etc.???

[Enragé]

lol i know a site where they speak of "The Church Of Trotsky" and about Marx writing down ideas for genocide in das kapital and the communist manifesto.

Don't take that seriously. Karl Marx, Lenin, although jews themselves were also anti-semites to a degree, so was Bakunin. Their works were written at a time when anti-semitism was common and to a degree, even respectable in certain circles.

The idea behind his anti-Semitism, is that they are uber-capitalists.

While that is a gross generalization, that was his belief.

That doesn't make it respectable now.

Anarchists ignore the anti-Semitic views expressed by Bakunin; I found it quiet nonsense when he spoke of Jews in a negative manor.

However Bakunin was staunchly anti-religious and he could have been expressing his views against the practice of being a Jew; he also expressed his hatred for Christianity.

However his anti-Semitic views should be ignored.

I’ve also herd rumors that he was pan-Slavic but that seems illogical to me because of him being an anarchist.

Allthough, he was not a friend of marx, he was no anti-marxist either. He hade great respect for some of the ideas and such written by Marx. When reading Baknin, I have never read any anti-semitism against Marx, just critisism for his "Centralism".

Perhaps, he is only refering to the "beliving" Jews, I mean, he was no fan of fundamentalie christians either.

Whether Bakunin was or was not anti-semetic is, I think, irrellivant. Since anarchism isn't "The Mikhail Bakunin Personality Cult". We're completely free to accept the good stuff he said and throw out the crap.

I dont know about Lenin but Marx wasnt a Anti-semite he wrote against Judaism not jews... the idea that Marx was an Anti-semite got started when someone translated "on the jewish question" into "a world without Jews" which was never a title that Marx gave anthing.
