One of the real heartening things about mainstream and elite institutions churning out anti-communist/socialist/anarchist propaganda is that it shows that they're concerned and possibly scared about what they're seeing happen in the world. It's one of the few things that makes me think that this stuff is actually possible.

Your title would make sense if Bakunin didn't despise communism.

"I detest communism because it is the negation of liberty. I am not a communist because communism concentrates and absorbs all the powers of society into the state" -Bakunin

You're right, I problably should have just used "anarchist" instead, but it's too late now

Bakunin's ideal society would still be considered a form of communism, though
