“ ”Lo que predico es, pues, hasta un cierto punto, la rebelión de la vida contra la ciencia, o más bien contra el gobierno de la ciencia. No para destruir la ciencia –eso sería un crimen de lesa humanidad–, sino para ponerla en su puesto, de manera que no pueda volver a salir de él. Hasta el presente toda la historia humana no ha sido más que una inmolación perpetua y sangrienta de millones de pobres seres humanos a una abstracción despiadada cualquiera: Dios, patria, poder el estado, honor nacional, derechos históricos, derechos jurídicos, libertad política, bien público.

Additional quotes by Mikhail Bakunin
I am a convinced advocate of economic and social equality because I know that, without it, liberty, justice, human dignity, morality, and the well-being of individuals, as well as the prosperity of nations, will never amount to more than a pack of lies. But since I stand for liberty as the primary condition of mankind, I believe that equality must be established in the world by the spontaneous organization of labor and the collective ownership of property by freely organized producers' associations, and by the equally spontaneous federation of communes, to replace the domineering paternalistic State.
The liberty of man consists solely in this, that he obeys the laws of nature because he has himself recognized them as such, and not because they have been imposed upon him externally by any foreign will whatsoever, human or divine, collective or individual.
It should be added that, in general, it is the character of every metaphysical and theological argument to seek to explain one absurdity by another.
