The Anarchist: Mikhail Bakunin, Part One

Welcome to the the revolutionary movement of the 1800's, a time where people were fighting on the barricades and had radical ideas about transforming society. We will, through the eyes of the revolutionary Mikhail Bakunin explore  the year of revolutions in 1848 and the various forms of socialism that will emerge, culminating with the power struggle with Karl Marx.  Bakunin will be seen as one of the forerunners of liberal socialism, anarchism, collectivism and the terms that will be used on the fraction to the political left wanting for decentralized socialistic societal structurs without an organized state. Bakunin was a controversial character that was mythologized in his time that came very close to completely changing the course of history, this is part one of the now largely forgotten revolutionary.
