Listen "Why Disobedience is Freedom"
Episode Synopsis
This time on Red Reviews, Justin and I dig into God and the State by Mikhail Bakunin — one of the most enduring works of anarchist theory. We talk about why Bakunin saw rebellion as a core part of what it means to be human, how disobedience challenges systems of domination, and what it means to live freely in a world built on obedience.From Satan as the first rebel to the dangers of scientism, the moral weight of revolt, and the liberatory potential of education, we explore why Bakunin’s vision still resonates — and why it matters now more than ever.You can get a copy of God and The State here https://z-library.sk/book/2360474/364435/god-and-the-state.htmlOr you can purchase a copy at these booksellershttps://www.akpress.org/godandthestate.htmlhttps://redemmas.org/titles/2099-god-and-the-state/https://pmpress.org/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1356https://pilsencommunitybooks.com/item/3GiS_XTIkh2sa_b2wRa_WgCheck out Justin's links and follow himhttps://www.justinclark.org/https://www.instagram.com/justinclarkph/https://www.tiktok.com/@justinclarkphhttps://bsky.app/profile/justinclarkph.bsky.socialhttps://www.threads.net/@justinclarkphhttps://www.in.gov/history/https://blog.history.in.gov/https://newspapers.library.in.gov/And check out my linktreehttps://linktr.ee/SkepticalleftistIf you enjoyed the show, consider supporting us on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/skepticalleftist to help keep the content coming.
