Just an
anecdote about Bakunin:
He was asked to translate Marx's
Das Kapital to Russian language. Well, as he advocated this work of Marx, Bakunin promised to do it and received
advanced payment. Eventually,
Sergey Nechayev managed to induce Bakunin to "more urgent things" and
Marx never saw the translation nor the money.
A
nihilist in theory, a nihilist in practice.
