God and the State

Mikhail Alexandrovich Bakunin, a key figure in the development of modern anarchism, is renowned for his opposition to Marx and his influence on 19th-century youth movements across Russia and Europe. His philosophical ideas have permeated contemporary culture, notably in Tom Stoppard's trilogy and the TV series Lost, where characters embody his revolutionary spirit. "God and the State," Bakunin's sole published work, encapsulates his radical thoughts and critiques of authority, making it a significant text in political philosophy.
