This collection of extracts from the works of Mikhail Bakunin are taken from his writings touching on his controversy with Marx over the nature of the state and its role in the liberation of the international working class.
Written between 1867 and 1872, many of Bakunin's predictions about the outcome of following the authoritarian communist road have been proven valid by the actions of Leninist tyrants across the world.

Bakunin's materialism is naturalist (like in natural sciences), marxian historical materialism is anthropocentrist. Bakunin's determinism is also naturalist, broader and social, marxian determinism is economical one.
