God And The State by Mikhail Bakunin

A trenchant critique of both religion and political authority that argues belief in a sovereign God and centralized state power function to justify domination and suppress human freedom; it insists that true liberation requires abolishing church and state alike and replacing hierarchical institutions with voluntary, cooperative associations based on mutual aid and equality. The text combines philosophical, historical, and polemical arguments to reject metaphysical and theological justifications for oppression, critique authoritarian forms of socialism, and call for revolutionary action to build a decentralized, self-managed society.
