The cult of authority [is] the necessary outcome of religious education, that historical source of all of the people’s misfortunes, depravities and slavishness. (Michael Bakunin)

The custodial, transcendental, centralist State is the lackey and alter ego of the Church, and as such the permanent source of poverty, degradation and subjugation among the people. (Bakunin)
