   The oppression of one is the oppression of all, and we cannot violate the liberty of one being without violating the freedom of all of us.
   -- Mikhail Bakunin

     This is extremely stupid of Bakunin to say, "The oppression of one is the oppression of all, and we can not violate the liberty of one being without violating the freedom of all of us." Nonsense. The oppression of the bourgeoisie under the supremacy of the working class led by the proletarian class is not oppression of the workers. It is the liberation of the workers. The oppression of the bourgeoisie is the liberty of the workers, not their oppression.

     @Radical_EgoCom
     I see what you are saying, and I think it is more complex than Bakunin's quote. I've heard some anarchists argue that the oppression of anyone, including members of the bourgeoisie, goes against what they value (i.e anti-authoritarianism). They say we are against the system itself, not individuals, even if they benefit from it.

     This made sense to me when someone said, "ya, just like how we hate patriarchy, but love men."
