Bakunin's "invisible dictatorship"

[MrDoom]

What is an "invisible dictatorship"?

[Phalanx]

It's a revolutionary authority, or an authority run by personal contacts and without a clear leader.

[JazzRemington]

Basically, Bakunin and a few of his followers went around Europe organizing secret societies that would "lead" the way during a revolution. This is where the charge of teh invisible dictatorship came from.

"This is where the charge of teh invisible dictatorship came from." It's not a charge, it's a term used by Bakunin.
