"The communism of Marx seeks a strong state centralization, and where this exists, there the parasitic Jewish nation - which speculates upon the labor of people - will always find the means for its existence"

In this quote, Mikhail Bakunin is slamming the ideology of communism as proposed by Karl Marx. He argues that Marx's vision of a strong centralized state would only serve to benefit the Jewish country, which he deems parasitic and exploitative. Bakunin suggests that the Jewish people, who he thinks profit from the labor of others, would flourish under a communist system due to the concentration of power in the state. This declaration shows Bakunin's anti-Semitic beliefs and his rejection of the concept of a powerful state managing society. He sees the Jewish people as a hazard to true equality and liberty, and thinks that their presence would just be perpetuated under a communist regime.
