Slavery may change its form or its name – its essence remains the same. Its essence may be expressed in these words: to be a slave is to be forced to work for someone else, just as to be a master is to live on someone else's work.

Mikhail Bakunin, "Rousseau's Theory of the State"

"Equality does not imply the leveling of individual differences, nor that individuals should be made physically, morally, or mentally identical.

Diversity in capacities and powers—those differences between races, nations, sexes, ages, and persons—far from being a social evil, constitutes, on the contrary, the abundance of humanity.

Economic and social equality means the equalization of personal wealth, but not by restricting what a man may acquire by his own skill, productive energy, and thrift.

Equality and justice demand only a society so organized that every single human being will—from birth through adolescence and maturity—find therein equal means, first for maintenance and education, and later, for the exercise of all his natural capacities and aptitudes."

— Mikhail Bakunin, Revolutionary Catechism (1866)

turn out Sacher-Masoch recalled an anecdote about Bakunin at the time of the pan-Slavist congress of 1848 and funny enough the scene depicted still manage to be somewhat thematically what Sacher-Masoch is known for:

"The Baroness denied that the goal could be achieved through revolution.

“It was not the republic,” she cried, “that made the ideas of 1789 triumph, it was Napoleon. We need a man who is himself a power, and this man can only be the Tsar”

While she spoke thus with vivacity, as usual, and her large clear eyes shone, she looked, with her parafa and her gold brocade kazabaika trimmed with sable, like one of those intelligent and energetic tsarinas of the old Russia, accustomed to making the neck of any man who approached them a stool for their feet.

This witty woman developed her ideas with great sagacity and in a very brilliant way.

“Before long,” she said, among other things, “the political ideal will definitely be relegated to the background. All nations will no longer have but a single concern: achieving unity. This will result in the formation of large, very powerful States. This aspiration, the strongest because it is the most natural, will push all other interests into the shadows for a long time.

“The struggles of our time, almost all fought in the name of freedom, have little importance; in the very near future these struggles will become purely national struggles.

“The Slavs, like other nations, must aspire to unity and achieve it; but it must be recognized that they are less prepared for it than the Italians and Germans were. A number of small independent nations have been formed within the Slavic race, which will not easily give up their independence.”

“That is perfectly right,” said Bakunin: “‘a union of the Slavic rivers losing themselves in the Russian sea,’ in Pushkin’s sense, would seem desirable neither to the Czechs, nor to the Serbs, nor to the Croats, and it would be energetically refused by Polish. This is precisely why the autocratic government of the Tsar must fall. The only form of government capable of satisfying all parties is a large and free Slavic federation, on the model of the United States of North America, which would include the Hungarians and the Romanians.”

“No! Bakunin,” cried the superb baroness, “you are wrong. We will achieve nothing until we know how to subordinate our political ideal to our national ideal.

“All by the Tsar! nothing without the tsar!”

“You defend the monarchy of the tsars, because you yourself are a great despot,” said Bakunin, smiling and passionately raising his adversary’s little hand to his lips. “It would be an idea to make you sovereign of our pan-Slavist state. I would be the first to throw myself at your feet and make myself your humble slave.”

“Ah! If I were mistress of all these crazy disunited heads,” she cried, “I would unite you all with the knout; because you need the knout, everyone, without exception!”

-Sacher-Masoch, “Choses vécues,” Revue politique et littéraire 25 no. 8(25 août 1888): 250-252. (X)

If you took the most ardent revolutionary, vested him in absolute power, within a year he would be worse than the Tsar himself.

The liberty of man consists solely in this: that he obeys natural laws because he has himself recognized them as such, and not because they have been externally imposed upon him by any extrinsic will whatever, divine or human, collective or individual.

An assortment of snippets of Arknights chapter 6 that keep me thinking of Rhodes Island as a kind of anarchist superhero/mutual aid organization. Really got started with that line of thought when the Gavail event showed a bunch of lizards who were too dumb to have government and everything was great. Better than it was in a normal Terran nation!

#Not for nothing does Reunion get its start in fantasy Tsarist Russia #The part that makes it specifically anarchist is how much RI distrusts kazimeirz and lungmen and other states #rather than just supporting a peaceful status quo #arknights #mikhail bakunin #qedmirage plays arknights

Quote

The modern State is by its very nature a military State; and every military State must of necessity become a conquering, invasive State; to survive it must conquer or be conquered, for the simple reason that accumulated military power will suffocate if it does not find an outlet. Therefore the modern State must strive to be a huge and powerful State: this is the indispensable precondition for its survival.

The most ridiculous thing Lost writers want us to believe is that Mikhail died from that grenade. He already survived 2 ON SCREEN deaths and they didn't even show him being blown up? As far as I'm concerned he could be chopped to pieces on screen and I would be like, oh he'll be fine. I strongly believe he's living his best life somewhere on the island with Nadia.

Also I DO NOT think it has anything to do with Island's magic, like in Richard's case. I think it's just something he can do normally. Maybe it has something to do with him being Ukrainian, but I'm not sure.
