Bakunin

When young, he studied in Berlin at the same time as Karl Marx and, while there, counted the future anarchist Mikhail Bakunin as a friend.

Andrew Divoff — who played the Others’ one-eyed, death-defying enforcer Mikhail Bakunin — was similarly eloquent when I asked him why he thought his character was named for a famous Russian anarchist.

Later, on Instagram, he posted a quote from the Russian anarchist Mikhail Bakunin: “The urge to destroy is also a creative urge.”

Mikhail Bakunin described him as “ambitious and vain, quarrelsome, intolerant and absolute…vengeful to the point of madness”.

The great John Chrysostom frequently issued pronouncements on wealth and poverty that make Karl Marx and Mikhail Bakunin sound like timid conservatives.
