Bakunin's whole life was defined by rebellion and by the search for absolute freedom. Born in 1814 to a distinguished and cultured land-owning family, he continually headed rebellions in his youth, first leading his brothers and sisters against their father, and later encouraging his sisters (to whom he was too deeply attached) to rebel against their husbands. His hatred of authority remained personal and immediate until he arrived in Germany in the early 1840's. There, under the influence of the Left Hegelians, he decided to spend the rest of his life fighting political and religious oppressors. To the extent that socialist anarchism had a system it was traceable to him. He formulated something like a doctrine of beliefs as an afterthought to his revolutionary activities.
