About Mikhail Bakunin
The great anarchist rival of Marx. The passion to destroy is also a creative passion. Warned that a revolutionary state would enslave the workers in a new red bureaucracy. Escaped Siberian exile by ship via Japan and America. Dueled with Marx for control of the First International and lost. Collectivist revolution from below remained his creed.
