God And The State - Mikhail Aleksandrovich Bakunin - Bog

God and the State is a philosophical treatise written by the Russian anarchist and revolutionary, Mikhail Bakunin. The book is a collection of essays and letters that explore the relationship between religion, government, and individual freedom. Bakunin argues that religion and the state are two oppressive forces that work together to control and dominate individuals. He believes that the concept of God is used by the state to justify its authority and maintain social control. Bakunin advocates for the abolition of both religion and the state, and the establishment of a society based on individual freedom, mutual cooperation, and voluntary association. The book is a seminal work in anarchist theory and has influenced many anarchist and libertarian movements around the world. Bakunin's ideas continue to be relevant to contemporary debates on the role of the state, the nature of authority, and the limits of individual freedom.Who are right, the idealists or the materialists? The question once stated in this way hesitation becomes impossible. Undoubtedly the idealists are wrong and the materialists right. Yes, facts are before ideas; yes, the ideal, as Proudhon said, is but a flower, whose root lies in the material conditions of existence. Yes, the whole history of humanity, intellectual and moral, political and social, is but a reflection of its economic history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
