Until now all human history has been only a perpetual and bloody immolation of millions of poor human beings in honor of some pitiless abstraction - … - Mikhail Bakunin

Amoroso e ciumento da liberdade humana e considerando-a como a condição absoluta de tudo o que adoramos e respeitamos na humanidade, inverto a frase de Voltaire e digo que, se Deus existisse, seria preciso aboli-lo.

Cooperation in all its forms is undeniably a rational and just mode of future production. But for it to achieve its objective — liberation of all the workers and their full compensation and satisfaction — all forms of land and capital must become collective property. Until that occurs, cooperation in the majority of cases will be crushed by the almighty competition of big capital and big landholding. In the rare cases when some producers’ association, invariably more or less isolated, does succeed in withstanding and surviving this struggle, the result of its success will merely be the rise of a new privileged class of fortunate collectivists within the destitute mass of the proletariat. Thus, under the existing conditions of social economy, cooperation cannot liberate the worker masses. Nevertheless, it does offer the benefit, even now, of accustoming the workers to unite, organize, and independently manage their own affairs.

He who is given power will inevitably become an oppressor and exploiter of society.
