He's one of the most influential intellectuals of our age -- cited in more academic works than almost any other living scholar -- and yet many progressives are not familiar with his libertarian socialist ideas.

The First International was founded in 1864, but a decade later the anarchists, led by Mikhail Bakunin, and the socialists, led by Karl Marx, rancorously parted ways -- and anarchism and socialism have since been uneasy allies and often outright antagonists.

Staughton Lynd, Lucasville: The Untold Story of a Prison Uprising Temple U. Press, 2004

Alexandre Christoyannopoulos, "Tolstoy the Peculiar Christian Anarchist"

Anarchist Studies

Leo Tolstoy was much more than a novelist. He also spoke out against state authority, war, laws, patriotism, and economic exploitation. Many of Tolstoy's anarcho-pacifist views were informed by his mid-life conversion to Christianity. Alexandre Christoyannopoulos discusses Tolstoy's Christian anarchism.
