"God and the State" is an important political treatise by the famous Russian anarchist Mikhail Bakunin. In this book, the author expresses his revolutionary views on power, religion and the idea of statehood. Bakunin convinces the readers that the idea of the power of God or the state is a threat to human freedom and self-expression. He calls for a rebellion against all forms of absolute power and offers alternative models of social organization based on mutual aid and mutual support. "God and the State" remains a relevant work that provokes discussions about the essence of power and the definition of freedom in the modern world.
