Apostle of destruction

Never mind quizilla, voline.org's quiz tells you which radical thinker you are most in tune with. You've got to love a quiz that asks, "If you admired one of the following, who would it be?"

Bob Dylan.
Thomas Paine.
Fidel Castro.
Lenin.
Albert Einstein.

or "Which method fosters social revolution the most?"

Preparation.
Direct action.
Depends on the situation.
Sedition.
Propaganda.

Turns out, I am Mikhail Bakunin:

Bakunin, it is evident, was rather the stimulator than the organiser. He wrote wonderful letters, arousing the torpid and nerving the timid. Fertile in suggestion, his writings were of the nature of fragments cast off red-hot from the fiery furnace of his mind.

"My life," he used to say, "is but a fragment." Most notable of the aforesaid fragments is his booklet on God and the State, in which those twin instruments of oppression are attacked with equal vehemence and vigor. It is on the pretence of divine authority that human authority is founded, and Bakunin, "apostle of destruction" as he was called by the Belgian economist Lavaleye, looked forward to the time when "human justice will be substituted for divine justice."

Which probably explains why I am constantly lamenting the absence of hell (see below). I think I want to get a tattoo that says "apostle of destruction."
