In this essay, Bakunin explains how capitalism is by its very nature exploitative. By concentrating political power and economic capital in the hands of capitalists, capitalism guarantees that the workers of the world will always live in misery. The power relationship between bosses and laborers is the backbone of capitalism, and there can never be equality or freedom as long as capitalism exists.
