Statism and Anarchy is a complete English translation of the last work by the great Russian anarchist Michael Bakunin. It was written in 1873, in the aftermath of the rise of the German Empire and the clash between Bakunin and Karl Marx in the first International. Bakunin assesses the strength of a European state system dominated by Bismarck. Then, in the most remarkable part of the book, he assails the Marxist alternative, predicting that a "dictatorship of the proletariat" will in fact be a dictatorship over the proletariat, and will produce a new class of socialist rulers. Instead, he...

The three years covered by this anthology represent the only time in Mikhail Bakunin's life when he was able to concentrate on his work and sustain a consistent output of speeches and writings.

The Paris Commune in 1871 played a key role in the development of socialist thought. In the midst of a seige by German troops, the workers of Paris rose in revolt and established their own government. Both communists and anarchists claimed the Commune for their own. This volume includes essays on the Paris Commune by Karl Marx, Freidrich Engels, Mikhail Bakunin, Peter Kropotkin, and Vladimir Lenin.

Dios y el Estado fue escrito entre febrero y marzo de 1871. Originalmente fue pensado como la segunda parte de un trabajo mas amplio llamado El imperio Knouto-Germanico y la Revolucion Social. La primera parte, por su lado, trataba sobre los antecedentes de la guerra Franco-prusiana y una historia general de la resistencia europea al imperialismo. Dios y el Estado, asi como gran parte del trabajo de Bakunin, quedo sin terminar ni ordenar.
