Bakunin's God and the State

[UndergroundConnexion]

I have recently bought theis book and started reading it yesterday night. I have to say I find it quite brilliant.

Now I am sure many of you also read it, what were your thoughts about it

There are some interesting parts to it. But you have to admit anarchism wouldn't be able to survive five minutes in the face of bourgeoise reactionary attack. We need a strong workers' state.

...it survived longer than that (but sadly not long enough). :P

The book concentrates on anti-theism no?

I didn't find it "brilliant" in the sense I found Marx's work brilliant...But I was very impressed.

I really appreciate his anti-religious sentiment, which I feel is very important for the leftist movement. In contrast, Marx was way too lenient on religion.

i like how bakunin is also a man of science and talks about man losing the beastial behavior that lives within in us, good guy IMO
