"Idealism is the despot of thought, just as politics is the despot of will." ― Mikhail Bakunin Topic(s): Politics More From Mikhail Bakunin "Political Freedom without economic equality is a pretense, a fraud, a lie; and the workers want no lying." "A jealous lover of human liberty, deeming it the absolute condition of all that we admire and respect in humanity, I reverse the phrase of Voltaire, and say that, if God really existed, it would be necessary to abolish him." "Thence results, for science as well as for industry, the necessity of the division and association of labor. I receive and I give – such is human life. Each directs and is directed in his turn." More In Politics "You call to a dog and a dog will break its neck to get to you. Dogs just want to please. Call to a cat and its attitude is, ‘What’s in it for me?’"― Lewis Grizzard "First, take the government of the Indians out of politics; second, let the laws of the Indians be the same as those of the whites; third, give the Indian the ballot."― George Crook "I am interested in politics."― Dave Mustaine
