BAKUNIN, Michael (Mikhail Bakunin). 'God and The State,' Original printed wraps, staple bound, front and rear wrap loose, frontis portrait, ex libris label Philip E. R. Berry, toning throughout as expected, pp.86, advertisements to the rear, Mother Earth Publishing Association, New York, [1916].An interesting work, incorrectly stated on the title page as 'First American edition'. It was actually first published in America by Benjamin Tucker in 1883. This essay, written in 1871, by the Russian revolutionary anarchist, is Bakunin's vehement opposition to any form of hierarchical power and his call for the complete liberation of individuals from all forms of oppression. He argues that the state and organized religion are oppressive institutions that limit individual freedom and autonomy. He advocates for the abolition of both, viewing them as instruments of control that serve the interests of a privileged few. An incendiary work, published in 1916 New York.
