He Is Among The Most Influential Figures Of Anarchism And A Major Figure In The Revolutionary Socialist, Social Anarchist, And Collectivist Anarchist Traditions. Bakunin's Prestige As A Revolutionary Also Made Him One Of The Most Famous Ideologues In Europe, Gaining Substantial Influence Among Radicals Throughout Russia And Europe. Bakunin Is Remembered As A Major Figure In The History Of Anarchism, An Opponent Of Marxism, Especially Of The Dictatorship Of The Proletariat; And For His Predictions That Marxist Regimes Would Be One-Party Dictatorships Ruling Over The Proletariat, Not Rule By The Proletariat. His Book God And The State Has Been Widely Translated And Remains In Print. Bakunin Has Had A Significant Influence On Thinkers Such As Peter Kropotkin, Errico Malatesta, Herbert Marcuse, E. P. Thompson, Neil Postman And A. S. Neill As Well As Syndicalist Organizations Such As The Wobblies, The Anarchists In The Spanish Civil War And Contemporary Anarchists Involved In The Modern-Day Anti-Globalization Movement. He Is Despised By Those Who Regard Politics As Only A Matter Of Intense Personal Loyalty To Leadership Which Acts Favorably Rto One's Most Personal Interests And Tastes, Irrespective Of Any Other Factors.
