Um livro dinâmico, mas deixado incompleto ou em esquemas demasiado rápidos, escrito pelo anarquista Bakunin no final do século XIX, com argumentos para a inexistência de Deus (como o que normalmente nos mostra a realidade - vamos do menos complexo ao mais complexo), mas não de grande interesse (como os de Hume nos diálogos sobre a religião natural). A religião é tido justamente como um grande delírio coletivo, aproveitado e capitalizado para construir instituições fortes que possam consolidar a desigualdade de poder entre camadas sociais. Nada de muito novo aí, creio. A ciência deve ser o conhecimento guia, mas Bakunin aparentemente é um cartesiano ingênuo, que acredita que os especialistas terão papel individualmente consultivo e que cada um deve decidir por si a partir do que apreende por si das situações do mundo.

A short work of acidic wit and furious social commentary. Bakunin, a Russian anarchist and atheist, was too radical even for Karl Marx. His calls for human liberation make for thought-provoking reading. It angries up the blood in the best way. When criminal thugs control corporations, government, and organized religions, people like Bakunin start making a lot more sense.

When you finish up this little tome, you can better enjoy the music of the Dead Kennedys, MC5, Gang of Four, and Rage Against the Machine. ( )

An excellent and informative book for anyone with interest government. One does not have to be an anarchist in order to appreciate much of what is said here. ( )

Thanks to Bush and the neo-con Christian right, this is more relevant than ever :-( ( )
