Bakunin's viewpoints are at the very least worthy of serious consideration and development today, if only on the merit that his interpretations and predictions as to the direction Marxism and Communism were taking, turned out to be true. His ideas regarding justice, social progress and the meaning of liberty and equality are increasingly valid. This is not say that his viewpoints and practices are free of faults, but to take the true anarchist approach and build upon his better perspectives while revising others.
