19th Century Anarchist Bakunin, Investigated By Brazil’s Police As “Suspect”

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Brazil’s police state has played a joke on itself: Mikhail Bakunin, an anarchist born in Russia 200 years ago, is being investigated by the Rio de Janeiro police under the suspicion that he is participating in protests against the World Cup and social injustice. Police suspect Bakunin of participating in “vandalism acts during protests.”

Bakunin, considered among the founders of anarchism (which is a theory of organizing the society without the state and without capitalism; horizontally, without hierarchies, without the bourgeois class , oppression, exploitation, wage slavery and private property), has been listed as “a potential suspect” because a 34 year old professor, who is enduring state repression, mentioned him in a phone conversation.

Police tapped her phone to spy on her activities, and when they heard her mentioning the name they included it in a 2,000 page report against social activists. In the past cops investigated Marx too; oddly enough Marx and Bakunin are known due to their divergent positions regarding the state’s disappearance. Bakunin’s conflict with Marxists, in his words: “As for me, I do not hesitate to say that all the Marxist flirtations with the Radicalism, whether reformist or revolutionary, of the bourgeois, can have no other result than the demoralization and disorganization of the rising power of the proletariat, and consequently a new consolidation of the established power of the bourgeois.”
