A landmark collection in the canon of radical political thought, Bakunin on Anarchism presents the essential writings of Mikhail Bakunin, the nineteenth-century Russian revolutionary widely regarded as the father of modern anarchism. Edited, translated, and introduced by Sam Dolgoff, the anthology gathers Bakunin's most significant essays, letters, and manifestos, offering English-speaking readers direct access to his passionate arguments against state authority, organised religion, and centralist socialism. Bakunin's prose is urgent and combative, arguing with fierce conviction that true human freedom can only be achieved through the abolition of the state and the self-organisation of free federations of workers and communes. Dolgoff's scholarly introduction and editorial notes provide essential historical context, situating Bakunin's thought within the great ideological battles of the First International and his legendary rivalry with Karl Marx. An indispensable primary source for students of anarchism, political philosophy, and the history of revolutionary movements.
