Liberty without socialism is injustice; socialism without liberty is brutality
|
|
|
|
Full Idea:
Liberty without socialism is injustice; socialism without liberty is slavery and brutality.

From:
Mikhail Bakunin (works [1867], 3), quoted by Adam Gopnik - A Thousand Small Sanities 3
|
|
|
|
A reaction:
[1867, but no reference] Bakunin was an anarchistic socialist. This must be the best one-line defence of socialism ever written. Gopnik quotes it as part of the anarchist critique of liberalism. So are liberty and socialism long-term compatible?
