Synopsis
Marxism, Freedom and the State critiques the leadership elements of Marxism and promotes consensus decision making between workers.[2] He labels Karl Marx as a bourgeois intellectual who looks down on the working class and sees them as unable to lead themselves.[2] However, he agrees with Marx's critique of capitalist economy.[2]
Bakunin describes the nation-state as an oppressive institution that should be rejected and critiques state socialists for their attempts to uphold it.[3]
