Mikhail Bakunin on history

The urge for destruction is also a creative urge.

Political Freedom without economic equality is a pretense, a fraud, a lie; and the workers want no lying.

The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.

The man who has no sense of history, is like a man who has no ears or eyes.

Adolf Hitler1889–1945

There is nothing new in the world except the history you do not know.

Harry S. Truman1884–1972
