Additional quotes by Mikhail Bakunin

Every government, no matter who controls it, is an instrument of oppression.

"Há uma categoria de pessoas que, se não creem, devem pelo menos fazer de conta que sim. São todos os atormentadores, os opressores, os exploradores da humanidade: padres, monarcas, homens de Estado, homens de guerra, financistas públicos e privados, funcionários de todos os tipos, soldados, policiais, carcereiros e carrascos, capitalistas, aproveitadores, empresários e proprietários, advogados, economistas, políticos de todas as cores, até o último vendedor de especiarias, todos repetirão em uníssono essas palavras de Voltaire: "Se Deus não existisse seria preciso inventá-lo"."
