Summary

"God and the State" by Mikhail Aleksandrovich Bakunin is a powerful argument against both religious and governmental power, suggesting that these forces limit human liberty. The book looks at how religion and government came to be and how they affect society, claiming they keep people down. Bakunin is shown as someone who strongly believes in anarchism and revolutionary socialism, advocating for people to rise up against oppressive systems rather than depending on higher powers for freedom. The writing has a strong, rebellious feel, rejecting traditional ideas and pushing for social change as the path to true human freedom.
