Russian revolutionary anarchist and philosopher

This time on Red Reviews, Justin and I dig into God and the State by Mikhail Bakunin — one of the most enduring works of anarchist theory. We talk about why Bakunin saw rebellion as a core part of what it means to be human, how disobedience challenges systems of domination, and what it means to live freely in a world built on obedience.From Satan as the first rebel to the dangers of scientism, the moral weight of revolt, and the liberatory potential of education, we explore why Bakunin's vision still resonates — and why it matters now more than ever.You can get a copy of God and The State here https://z-library.sk/book/2360474/364435/god-and-the-state.htmlOr you can purchase a copy at these booksellershttps://www.akpress.org/godandthestate.htmlhttps://redemmas.org/titles/2099-god-and-the-state/https://pmpress.org/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1356https://pilsencommunitybooks.com/item/3GiS_XTIkh2sa_b2wRa_WgCheck out Justin's links and follow himhttps://www.justinclark.org/https://www.instagram.com/justinclarkph/https://www.tiktok.com/@justinclarkphhttps://bsky.app/profile/justinclarkph.bsky.socialhttps://www.threads.net/@justinclarkphhttps://www.in.gov/history/https://blog.history.in.gov/https://newspapers.library.in.gov/And check out my linktreehttps://linktr.ee/SkepticalleftistIf you enjoyed the show, consider supporting us on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/skepticalleftist to help keep the content coming.

Hello Interactors,Since his return to office, Trump hasn't just taken power — he's trying to reshape the landscape. From border crackdowns and sick real estate fantasies to federal purges by strongman stooges, his policies don't just enforce control — they seek to redraw the lines of democracy itself.Strongmen don't wait for crises — they create them. They attempt to manipulate institutions, geographies, and public trust until there's so much confusion it makes anything they do to ease it acceptable. I dug into how authoritarianism thrives on instability and contemplate some ways to alter it.DEMAND DOMINATION THROUGH DOUBT AND DISORDER I was once a strongman, or at least I could summon one when needed. I could override the part of my brain that protects me from injury and tap into something primal — something that made me feel invincible. A surge of adrenaline convinced my brain I could not only hurl myself into another person but through them, painlessly.I played rugby. What I experienced is known as Berserker State, or berserkergang—a shift in brain activity and hormone surges that cause extreme arousal and altered perception. Rugby is a sport where people spend over an hour pretending they're not hurt. That's in contrast to soccer, where people spend over an hour pretending they are.
"You dirty bastard, you dirty fucker. What a fuckin' rotter". Denne alt andet end urbane ordveksling fandt sted i et tv-program på BBC d. 1. december 1976 mellem studieværten Bill Grundy og det endnu ukendte band The Sex Pistols. De var inviteret i studiet for at seerne kunne opleve, hvad det nye fænomen 'punk' var for en størrelse. Efter udsendelsen var telefonerne rødglødende og de unge punkere fik snart forbud mod at optræde i Storbritannien. Men punken forsvandt ikke. Tværtimod. I dag står punken på tærsklen til sit halvtredsårs jubilæum og er gledet ind i den etablerede kultur. Men hvad er punkens grundlæggende idé? Kan den trække tråde tilbage til fritænkere og anarkister som Friedrich Nietzsche, Mikhail Bakunin og George Orwell? Eller er punk mest af alt ungdommelig vrede og en 'fuck off'-attitude, som fordamper med alderen? Det er nogle af spørgsmålene i Kampen om Historien, hvor Adam Holm taler med Jan Poulsen, der er musikjournalist og forfatter til bogen 'Something Rotten' og Lasse Lauridsen, der er ledende redaktør på K-Live med en baggrund indenfor filosofi og musikjournalistik. I redaktionen: Clara Faust Spies, Nanna Sloth Skardhamar og Josephine Gaïa Utoft. Redaktør: Silke Fensman. Musik: Adi Zukanovic.

'The Russian man is glad to see death, including his own - it reminds him of the end of everything that exists. He contemplates the ruins and fragments with pleasure…' Walter Schubart, 1938 This author has watched thirty YouTube videos of Russian soldiers committing suicide. This has been possible thanks to the revolution that has taken place on the battlefield with the proliferation of cheap drones fitted with cameras. One slit his throat. It took him almost a minute to die. Twenty-two shot themselves. Seven killed themselves by detonating grenades: the first held the grenade at arms-length and looked away; the second held the grenade to his chest; the third detonated two grenades against his ears (the head vanished); the fourth also blew his head off; the fifth, a corpulent individual of Asiatic appearance, detonated the grenade under his body armour; the sixth was an individual hiding behind a vehicle wreck; and the seventh held the grenade in front of his face. How many Russian soldiers have committed similar acts unrecorded by Ukrainian drones can only be speculated. Historically, we might associate such extreme behaviour with the Imperial Japanese Army. More recently we think of the fanaticism of terrorist organisations such as ISIS or Al Qaeda. But we would not normally frame the Russian Army in this way. This article begs the question: is the Russian Army a death cult? Suicide in Russian culture In Russia, suicide, or more broadly disdain for life, is modern and rooted in the revolutionary tradition. The most famous suicide is the poet Vladimir Mayakovsy (1893-1930). The cause however was a love affair, not revolution. His funeral was attended by 150,000 people, the largest public mourning event in Bolshevik Moscow after the funerals of Lenin and Stalin. Rejection of life - as revolutionary act - finds origins in Turgenev's Fathers and Sons (1862) which popularised the phrase 'nihilism' through the character of Bazarov: 'At the present time negation is the most beneficial of all [acts] -and we deny…everything.' Nihilism mixed fanatical asceticism with self-mortification. Life mattered little or nothing. Turgenev actually created the character as lampoon of the 'men of the sixties', but paradoxically Bazarov became an anti-hero to young Russians seeking change. The nihilism became violent through the agency of the so-called 'new men' - Lenin's predecessors - the best known of which were Varfolomei Zaitsev (1842-1882), the archetypal nihilist but unknown in the West (and the character of Shigalev in Dostoyesvky's The Possessed); and Sergey Nechaev (1847-1882) (the character of Pyotr Verkhovensky, also in The Possessed). The 'Nechaev affair' was the great cause célèbre in Russia of the period, but also remains completely unknown outside Russia except to Russian historians. The Tsarist authorities were so alarmed by the young man he was gaoled and deliberately starved to death, dying at the age of thirty-five. Before he died he co-authored with Mikhail Bakunin (1814-1876) one of the most famous tracts of revolutionary literature in world history: The Revolutionary Catechism. It starts with the famous proposition 'The revolutionary is a lost man…no interests of his own, no affairs of his own, no feelings, no attachments no belongings, not even a name if his own.' It then goes on to describe a being who 'despises', who is 'hard with himself', who 'hates', and whose object is 'ruthless destruction'. It could be a description of 'the Orcs', as Ukrainians describe the Russians they face on the other side of the trench lines. While it is undeniable that a life-denying fanaticism coloured Russian revolutionaries (and radicals and anarchists across 19th century Europe), we must still ask, but were the revolutionaries born from a wider Russian cultural substratum that disregarded life, or were they atypical of their society. Suicide in Russian society Russian men die young. Roughly one quarter die before the age of 55, mostly du...
This is the tale of how Karl Marx and Mikhail Bakunin fought it out in what would be the most nasty intellectual battle of the 1800's - and how would the political left have looked like if the anarchists had won? "I hate Communism because it is the negation of liberty and because humanity is for me unthinkable without liberty. I am not a Communist, because Communism concentrates and swallows up in itself for the benefit of the State all the forces of society, because it inevitably leads to the concentration of property in the hands of the State, whereas I want the abolition of the State" - M. Bakunin.
This episode delves into the life and ideas of Mikhail Bakunin, a significant figure in the history of anarchism. From his run-ins with authority and exile, his intellectual journey and friendships, to his revolutionary writings and radical views on authority and freethought, Bakunin's influence on political and social thought endures.

It's Part Four this week, and things are really heating up. We're bridging the gap between the “critique” years and the “praxis” years with a deep dive into the late 1800s. Mikhail Bakunin and Pierre-Joseph Proudhon make grand entrances into our narrative and bring some intrigue along with them. Part Four covers the pivotal year of 1870, the splinter between the anarchist and Democratic socialist wings of the party, and speaks to the variables present on the European continent at this critical juncture. The episode culminates with the Paris Commune of 1871 and lays the groundwork for Part Five where we'll cover the rise of the Bolsheviks and the American labor movement. Are we having fun yet?

Welcome to the the revolutionary movement of the 1800's, a time where people were fighting on the barricades and had radical ideas about transforming society. We will, through the eyes of the revolutionary Mikhail Bakunin explore the year of revolutions in 1848 and the various forms of socialism that will emerge, culminating with the power struggle with Karl Marx. Bakunin will be seen as one of the forerunners of liberal socialism, anarchism, collectivism and the terms that will be used on the fraction to the political left wanting for decentralized socialistic societal structurs without an organized state. Bakunin was a controversial character that was mythologized in his time that came very close to completely changing the course of history, this is part one of the now largely forgotten revolutionary.
We have the third installment in our socialism series, where we resume our journey beginning in 1825 and the collapse of Robert Owen's New Harmony experiment. This next chapter introduces the work of John Stuart Mill and Karl Marx and touches on Mikhail Bakunin and Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, both of whom we'll explore more fully in Part Four. Not gonna lie, this series may never end. But this is a critical piece of the puzzle that we're calling the “Critique Period,” lasting from 1825 to around 1870. This era is punctuated by widespread revolts in 1848 that inform some of the new thinking around capitalism and the plight of the working class—all leading into the explosion of socialist philosophy that hits the mainstream consciousness following the events of 1870 (again, for Part Four).

We find ourselves living in a time of great complexity and flux, where the very fabric of our societies is being rewoven by the rise of artificial intelligence and the interplay of complex systems. How do we make sense of a world that is undeniably interconnected, with increasingly porous boundaries between nature and culture, human and machine, science and art?

¿Quién es Mikhail Bakunin?, preguntas mientras clavas tu (única) pupila azul en mi pupila. Esa pregunta nos hacemos junto a Paloma Rando y Daniel M. Mantilla, ambos versados en el mundo del guion y el periodismo, y ambos más bien descontentos con los episodios que les ha tocado comentar en esta tercera temporada llena de picos, llanos y valles. Valle, no la de 'Compañeros', aunque 'Compañeros' y muchas otras series españolas son mencionadas en este batiburrillo en el que también hablamos de pelucas y de formas de abaratar producciones audiovisuales.

Technocracy is the idea that experts should govern. For the common good, presumably. It makes a certain amount of sense, given how irrational our politics seem to be right now. So, technocracy is seductive. In fact, it's an idea as old as politics itself. On this episode Darts & Letters begins the first of a three-part series telling stories of technocracies past, present, and future. In this first part, Ira Basen tells the story of Technocracy, Inc. This 1930s movement aimed to install non-democratic North American “technate” where we only work from the ages of 25 to 45, for 16 hours a week. It might surprise you to learn that Elon Musk's grandfather was one of its leaders. Basen produced an extended CBC: Ideas documentary on the movement, and it's worth checking out. Then, perhaps the most influential intellectual today: Noam Chomsky. What is the place of technical expertise in a radical left project? Chomsky's famous “Responsibility of Intellectuals” is one of the best critiques of the liberal technocratic intelligentsia. However, his lesser-known writing on Mikhail Bakunin's predictions about how the Marxist intellectual vanguard would “beat the people with the people's stick” offers a warning to left technocrats. We have a wide-ranging conversation with Professor Chomsky on his critique of intellectuals, the place of technical expertise in a radical left project, his anarchist theory of expertise, and his thoughts on popular reason and popular intelligence. This is part of a wider series on techno-utopian thinking, produced with professors Tanner Mirrlees and Imre Szemen.

In this episode of https://www.everydayanarchism.com/anarchism-101/ (Anarchism 101: An Anarchist Syllabus), I read Bakunin's famous discussion of science and authority from https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dkjBOHa5DZFtGCxfEdS8Zca5tH87uYK6Md76-YnoVc4/edit?usp=sharing (God and the State) This project is year-long; on the first of each month of 2022, I'll be posting my reading of an important anarchist text. Later that month, I'll post an episode in which I discuss each text and its author with a scholar of anarchism.

Socialism. Love it or hate it, the term evokes powerful emotions even to this day. But why did socialism start in the first place? This episode charts the rise of class consciousness at the start of the 19th century, covering major figures associated with the movement such as Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, the anarchist Mikhail Bakunin and the German Social Democratic Party (SPD). We'll also see the emergence of a distinctive working class culture through things as varied as soccer clubs, May Day parades and the language socialists used to greet each other. follow us on twitter @historyOTP check out our website: www.historyoffthepage.com or support us on patreon: https://www.patreon.com/historyoffthepage

"There's nothing more sobering than a 30-year-old newspaper... It's amazing how many pressing concerns are literally of-the-moment." -Michael Crichton Gavin Newsom has signed into law a prohibition on doctors telling parents when their children get abortions. I miss the days prior to hyper-regulation when individuals mattered. Dave Chapelle is being lambasted by the LGBTQWERTY movement for suggesting that gender is not changeable and aligns with sex. In other words, it is synonymous. I remember when the right were said to be intolerant of art because they didn't like "piss Christ" being taxpayer-funded. “Mikhail Bakunin rose to challenge Marx for control of the International. Their struggle for control ultimately destroyed the organization. Marx managed to get Bakunin expelled and had the headquarters of the International transfered to the United States, where it would be safe from other European revolutionary challenges—even though he knew that would also mean its demise as well. It was a rule-or-ruin tactic that would appear again and again in later communist infiltrations of non-communist organizations.” -Sowell, “Marxism”
Article can be read at https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/mikhail-bakunin-the-death-penalty-in-russia This article was written to expose state oppression in the Russian Empire. Bakunin had been sent to St Petersburg's infamous Peter and Paul Fortress before escaping imprisonment and Russian Imperial territory by crossing through Siberia to a ship heading for Japan.
In this episode, we discuss Mikhail Bakunin's excerpt from Michael Malice's book, "The Anarchist Handbook". We have a lot of thoughts, mostly discussing where Bakunin contrasts Marx and the ways Bakunin reminded Matt of Murray Rothbard. A fun discussion that covers a lot of ground.
The eighth installment in a series in which I read Julius Braunthal's 1961 book, History of the International, 1864-1914. In this episode, I read chapter twelve, "Ideological and Political Problems of the International", dealing with the struggle Marx and Engels waged within the international against other political tendencies, particularly the anarchist followers of Proudhon and the faction organized around Mikhail Bakunin.

E una risata, una risata fragorosa a volte può far superare anche i momenti più difficili. Ne sa qualcosa il protagonista della storia di oggi, un uomo capace di trarre il meglio dal peggio. Un uomo che di fronte ad una diagnosi tremenda ha saputo rinascere. E, sempre col sorriso sulle labbra, si è trasformato i

Buenos días, hoy tendremos como invitado a El Cid, un joven activista anarquista desde Perú con quien hablaremos sobre los últimos acontecimientos del gobierno peruano, la batalla campal vivida tanto el Miércoles como el Jueves de esta última semana, repasaremos a algunos autores anarquistas como Erico Malatesta, Mikhail Bakunin, Pierre Proudhon, Manuel González-Prada, algunos de los periodos en los que Perú vivió la anarquía y también qué podemos esperar de este nuevo congreso formado tras la muerte de dos jóvenes en los próximos días.
Jeremiah joined us to discuss the strong connections to the military industrial complex that the Biden/Harris campaign have, the deliberate mislabeling of left libertarian activists & how one of the greatest figures of Anarchist thought - along with anything people don't like - as fascist (someone called Mikhail Bakunin a fascist along with Jeremiah, unbelievable). Angel gets mad that everything is taken over by the troops, the censoring of Agorist Nexus by Facebook and their CIA ties.https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/recipients?id=D000034198&cycle=2016 https://www.agoristnexus.com/news/facebook-is-not-a-private-company/ https://jeremiahharding.com/https://twitter.com/insanityisfreehttps://www.youtube.com/c/JeremiahTalks/videoshttps://www.amazon.com/Ego-His-Own-Individual-Philosophy/dp/048644581Xhttps://www.amazon.com/Diogenes-Sinope-Legend-Handbook-Material/dp/1533528845/ref=sr_1_5?crid=1FK4SHVTO0YLG&dchild=1&keywords=diogenes&qid=1598229699&s=books&sprefix=diog%2Cstripbooks%2C181&sr=1-5 Youse Guys are (support us on Twitter & spread the word!):@angel_soundgirl@randyran_da_man@thebloodletting@jaycoleau@bryanp789Enjoy our content?

Olá a todos e a todas ouvintes do Antinomia, sejam mais uma vez bem vindos e bem vindas ao Leituras Libertárias, projeto que busca compartilhar um pouco com vocês as nossas leituras sobre a história, teorias e práticas do anarquismo. Hoje nós vamos fazer a leitura de um trecho do livro "Anarquismo Anticolinial, Diálogos entre as obras de Mikhail Bakunin e Frantz Fanon", organizado pelo Coletivo Editorial Adandé, o livro pode ser baixado gratuitamente na página do coletivo. Boa Leitura!
Olá a todos e a todas ouvintes do Antinomia! Hoje no Leituras Libertárias trazemos um texto do jovem Bakunin. No texto, Bakunin expõe sua visão do amor e mostra como ele é inseparável do ódio. O trecho lido faz parte da carta escrita por Bakunin em 1845, endereçada a seu irmão Pavel.
Hoje é dia de falar sobre o filósofo russo, revolucionário e mais importante teórico anarquista, Mikhail Bakunin! Conheça um pouco de sua história e de sua contribuição para a tradição anarquista.
Olá ouvintes do Antinomia! Esse é um novo projeto da Biblioteca Terra Livre, o "Leituras Libertárias". A ideia desse podcast é compartilhar com vocês as nossas leituras sobre a história, teoria e práticas anarquista ou que dialoguem com o universo libertário e autonomista. No episódio de hoje, trazemos um trecho de um texto clássico do anarquismo: Deus e o Estado, de Mikhail Bakunin.
Eduardo Szklarz para Superinteressante:"Que tal viver em um mundo sem hierarquia e sem leis, sem governos nem papas? No século 19, os anarquistas imaginaram uma sociedade assim. Os indivíduos se encontraríam acima dos Estados, criando e dividindo produtos entre si. Não existiriam monopólios, e o conhecimento seria produzido de forma coletiva. Nacionalidades seriam desprezadas, e as mulheres teriam os mesmos direitos que os homens. “O homem só se emancipa e se liberta através do esforço coletivo de toda a sociedade”, dizia o anarquista Mikhail Bakunin. Um discurso bonito, mas impossível. Salvo algumas experiências efêmeras, o anarquismo nunca virou realidade."Existe um ditado que diz "NUNCA É TEMPO DEMAIS..." e parece que estamos prestes a aprender que o impossível se torna realidade em tempos como os que estamos vivendo. Alternativas em termos de pesquisa e distribuição de conhecimento e renda que antes seriam impensáveis hoje batem a nossa porta e inevitavelmente atravessarão o nosso dia a dia. Iniciativas individuais, auto cuidado, capacidade de cooperar e não de competir tudo isso é o que provavelmente arrancará a humanidade dos braços da aniquilação, do desespero. O modelo anarquista do século 19, chamado de utópico parece ser mais do que implementável agora e parece ser o único caminho viável.Neste sentido, este episódio do nosso podcast discute teoricamente alguns conceitos ligado à autogestão e para exemplificar mostra algumas iniciativas individuais ou de pequenos grupos que têm jogado uma luz de esperança nestes nossos tempos sombrios.

The Desire to Destroy• Famous street artist Banksy has published a video, revealing how he secretly built a shredder into one of his paintings years ago and showing the moment it got ripped to shreds, after selling at auction for $1.1mn at Sotheby’s.• “The urge to destroy is also a creative urge,” wrote Banksy, citing a leading anarchist theorist of the nineteenth century, Mikhail Bakunin, but attributing the quote to the famous painter Pablo Picasso.What Went Wrong in the Garden?• The issue of violence extends as far back as the garden in Genesis 3. But why?• God creates the whole world, He creates a garden, puts humans in it. There’s this tree; they’re not supposed to eat from it. The serpent tells them to eat the fruit, they do, that’s bad, they must be out of the garden now. And so, because of that, that guilt is then passed down to all humans, including me and you, and there’s nothing good about us now.• In this interpretation, the main problem is humans are guilty of sin. God therefore decrees death to all of us. God wants to kill us (an act of violence?)• But why is there a serpent?• There is more to the story behind the scenes.• It is not just Adam and Eve eating the apple deserving of death.The Cosmological Notion• Ancient Israel, for whom Genesis is written, lives by the notion that there is a heavenly realm of divine beings (polytheism).• This is the mindset of Israel and her neighbors.• The basis of Genesis is … there is one God (Yahweh) and other gods (Elohim?).• There is a realm of other spirit beings (Yahweh’s council?)• Yahweh, the high God almighty, speaking to other spirit beings, “let us make man in our image” (Genesis 1:26). The purpose is so “they may rule” (have dominion).• Adam and Eve are not just first humans but are the first kings and queens on earth.• The garden is an ancient motif of the new dwelling place of God.• In the ancient world gods lived on the mountaintops and lush gardens.• Now the best of the best (the garden), has new kings and queens.Why Does the Serpent Show Up?• Where does he/she/it come from? There is something going on before the creation account in Genesis.• There is the presence of other “divine” beings.• There is another realm before the Garden of Eden.• The act of tempting the humans to eat from the tree is to energize an act of rebellion against the high God.• The humans are being sucked into an act of war and rebellion.• Now they are given a taste of evil and introduced to the desire to destroy.• Why is there an evil figure in the Garden?• There is a jealousy that the job to rule the creation is given to humans not to the nachash (serpent).• There is a bitterness against God’s decision.• Now it becomes a battle for power.• This isn’t about animals.• It is about two orders of beings in conflict with each other.• This isn’t about humans vs. snakes but the first element of violence based on bitterness, jealousy, hatred, etc.• The idea in the curse on the “serpent” is that there will be ongoing hostility, warfare in the human experience.• The serpent is calling the humans to join the rebellion with the rest of the supernatural beings.• The supernatural beings end up getting worshiped in a form of idolatry as the gods of the nations.• Paul will end up calling this rebellion “principalities and powers” (Ephesians 6:12)Connections between the divine rebellion and earthly kings• Ezekiel 28:1-17• A judgment against the king of Tyre• Compared to the nachash (serpent) in the Garden to illuminate the judgment against the earthly king.• There is a story in the mind of the author of a rebellion to take the high place of God, yet the story is not in our Bible.• It is found in the book of Enoch (chapters 6 and 7)• Isaiah 14:4-15• A judgment against the king of Babylon• Connecting one of the ringleaders of the divine rebellion to the early kingThe gods are involved• There is a battle going on even before human beings' step onto the stage of history.• In the early development of the Bible, the Israelites believed in many gods.• The technical term is monolatry• There is only one God worthy of worship• It is not the same as monotheism (belief there is only one God)• Many gods exist (Elohim) but only one is worthy of worship (Yahweh)• Psalm 95:1-4• Psalm 82:1• Exodus 12:12• The plural construction (Elohim) translated “let us” (Gen. 1:26-28) reflects the divine council (1 Kings 22:19-22; Isaiah 6; Job 1-2).• In Genesis 1:26-28, God the King announces the proposed course of action to His cabinet of subordinate deities, though He alone retains the power of decision.• Behind the text is the cultural belief of the battle of the gods in Genesis 1-3.• This is also reflected in the Babylonian creation account.• In this myth, creation is an act of violence.Frolicking Gods• In the beginning, according to the Babylonian account, Apsu, the father god, and Tiamat, the mother god, give to the gods.• The frolicking of the younger gods makes so much noise that the elder gods resolve to kill them so they can sleep.• The younger gods uncover the plot before the elder gods put it into action, so they kill Apsu. His wife pledges revenge. Terrified by Tiamat, the younger gods turn to their youngest member, Marduk to kill Tiamat.• In the Babylonian myth, violence is no problem.

Text https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/michail-bakunin-the-capitalist-system In this essay, Bakunin explains how capitalism is by its very nature exploitative. By concentrating political power and economic capital in the hands of capitalists, capitalism guarantees that the workers of the world will always live in misery. The power relationship between bosses and laborers is the backbone of capitalism, and there can never be equality or freedom as long as capitalism exists.

This episode of Red Pilled Woke: Cole presents his case for state capitalism and why we need a centralized economy for maximum efficiency. Dilvany talks about a book she was sent, "The capitalist system" by Mikhail Bakunin; taking time to answer the question, can workers really run things?
Why didn't Karl Marx and Mikhail Bakunin get along? What accounts for the conflict between the two thinkers that led to the momentous breakup of the First International in 1872? Mark Leier discusses and compares the backgrounds and ideas of Bakunin and Marx; he argues that they were more similar than most believe. He also examines the temperaments of the two men for clues into why they disliked and distrusted each so much. (Encore presentation.) Mark Leier, Divide and Conquer or Divide and Subdivide?

Beyond Blade Runners and Replicants, there must be a place “Over the Rainbow” for us to exist in solidarity and equanimity. And certainly, the 21st Century hovering above us should be a cause for hope, not despair; yet even with this new century being no way near its quartermark, it's already given us a planet wheezing from ecological crisis-to-crisis, where an untenable economic system of neo-feudalism ravages plants and animals, as well as the rights of those we love (or should love). In the Terror & Twilight of Our Broken Age, what ideology best speaks and acts from a place made from compassion and love? Instead of passively looking at the new century that hangs in the sky, blinking obliquely above us, we should instead reorganize our motions to The North Star of Human Decency, namely that of Anarchy. For this 21st episode of The Future Is A Mixtape, Matt & Jesse will finally come out of the “political closet” and show some raw & real skin: they are both Anarchists Without Adjectives, and they believe that this ideology of love is the only practical solution to the world's byzantine disorders, fraught with confusion, warbling on without a just antidote. In their most personal and revealing podcast since the show's first episode, Jesse & Matt explore their disparate journeys to humanity's greatest romance, Anarchy; they will describe its origin story, its turbulent relationship with authoritarian communists and how this political philosophy is not only the most idealist of ideologies, but also why it's the only one which can ride inside us--whispering out “hope” for a utopian future.

An adult could look right over it, and even a child could climb it. Where it crossed the roadway, instead of having a gate it degenerated into mere geometry, a line, an idea of boundary.

Why didn't Karl Marx and Mikhail Bakunin get along? What accounts for the conflict between the two thinkers that led to the momentous breakup of the First International in 1872? Mark Leier discusses and compares the backgrounds and ideas of Bakunin and Marx; he argues that they were more similar than most believe. He also examines the temperaments of the two men for clues into why they disliked and distrusted each so much. Mark Leier, Divide and Conquer or Divide and Subdivide?

Do anarchists vote? If not, how do we express our voice and participate in changing society? What's the problem with elections and representative democracy? In this special Election Day audio zine,we describe why electing representatives robs us of our power, refute common arguments made to convince us of the value of voting, explain direct action as an alternative approach for making change without politicians and parties, and lay out our vision for a free world beyond electoral politics. We begin by surveying anarchist responses to elections from the 19th century to the present day, and include excerpts from CrimethInc. interventions against the last few presidential elections, including “Don't Just Vote, Get Active: A Community Non-Partisan Voters' Guide” (2004), “Voting vs. Direct Action” (c. 2004), “False Hope vs. Real Change” (2008), “The Party's Over” (c. 2009), and the “Democracy is Bankrupt” website (2012). This audio zine provides background for our discussion of the 2016 presidential campaign and its likely aftermath, which appears in Episode 52. Whoever they vote for, we are ungovernable! {November 7, 2016} -------SHOW NOTES------ This audio zine draws on several previously published CrimethInc. texts that address voting, elections, democracy, and direct action, including “Don't Just Vote, Get Active: A Community Non-Partisan Voters' Guide” (2004), “Voting vs. Direct Action” (c. 2004), “False Hope vs. Real Change” (2008), The Party's Over" (c. 2009), and the “Democracy is Bankrupt” website (2012). In the introduction, we quoted a variety of historical anarchist critiques of elections, voting, and representative democracy, including: Mikhail Bakunin, "On Representative Government and ; Peter Kropotkin, “Revolutionary Government”; Elisee Reclus, “Why Anarchists Don't Vote”; Henry David Thoreau, “Civil Disobedience”; Emma Goldman, “Woman Suffrage”; Zo d'Axa, “He Is Elected”; and the Yippies' nomination of Pigasus. You can find many more anarchist critiques on these themes via The Anarchist Library.
Wagner and the Philosophy of Revolution:Professor Anthony Grayling looks at the crucial years before and after the Dresden uprising of 1849 when Wagner was manning the barricades with revolutionaries such as Mikhail Bakunin. After the death of the philosopher, Hegel, in 1831, a group of his followers, the Young Hegelians argued that the forces of freedom and reason would continue to conquer everything in their way. Into this heady mix came the attacks on religious orthodoxy of Ludwig Feurbach and the political and economic theories of Proudhon. Wagner drank this all in greedily. And during his years of exile in Switzerland these ideas bubbled away and were reborn in his own philosophical essays concerning the artwork of the future aimed at remaking society along utopian socialist lines.
As a preview to the post-Rulers podcasts, today we focus on Mikhail Bakunin famed philosopher/anarchist.

John Randolph, assistant professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, is our guest on the show this week. His book The House in the Garden: The Bakunin Family and the Romance of Russian Idealism (Cornell University Press, 2007) has just appeared. As a sometime Russian historian myself, I was very interested in reading the book. I knew a bit about Mikhail Bakunin, the Russian anarchist famous for running around nineteenth-century Europe fomenting revolution, but I knew virtually nothing about his family. I’d guess the same is true of many of you. John traces the Bakunins from their earliest days to the mid-nineteenth century, and along the way significantly revises the history of Russian radicalism in the period. The book is a model for historians who wish to weave together the private and the public, the personal and the political, the familial and the social. Highly recommended.
