No, Henry VIII could never have obtained an air conditioner or computer. But Henry VIII didn't spend half his month's income on rent, or live a single paycheck away from eviction. -- Kevin Carsonhttps://todon.eu/tags/anarchism
Whosoever lays a hand on me in order to govern me is a usurper and a tyrant; I declare him my enemy. -- Pierre-Joseph Proudhonhttps://todon.eu/tags/anarchism
I passionately love humanity, and have dedicated my best efforts to the fight for the oppressed. All tyrants disgust me -- and all those who put up with them, adulate them, support them. After having brought them down will I make myself a tyrant in their place? I would be disgusted with myself. -- Andre Lorulothttps://todon.eu/tags/anarchism
The world does not need governing; in fact it should not be governed. -- Zhuangzihttps://todon.eu/tags/anarchism
Private property has crushed true individualism, and set up an individualism that is false. It has debarred one part of the community from being individual by starving them. It has debarred the other part of the community from being individual by putting them on the wrong road and encumbering them. -- Oscar Wildehttps://todon.eu/tags/anarchism
One who pays some attention to history will not be surprised if those who cry most loudly that we must smash and destroy are later found among the administrators of some new system of repression. -- Noam Chomskyhttps://todon.eu/tags/anarchism
The revolution, in my opinion, comrade delegates, is not, and cannot be, the work of a party. A party does not carry out a revolution; a party cannot do more than organize a coup d'etat and a coup d'etat is not a revolution. -- Angel Pestanahttps://todon.eu/tags/anarchism
Anarchists are socialists because they want the improvement of society, and they are communists because they are convinced that such a transformation of society can only result from the establishment of a commonwealth of property. -- Johann Mosthttps://todon.eu/tags/anarchism
The "equality of right" is a phantom just because right is nothing more and nothing less than admission, a matter of grace. -- Max Stirnerhttps://todon.eu/tags/anarchism
Anarchy, today, is attack; it is war against every authority, every power, every state. In the future society, anarchy will be defence, the prevention of the re-establishment of any authority, any power, any state. -- Carlo Cafierohttps://todon.eu/tags/anarchism
In all times, the proletarian was only able to rise above his poverty when -- through his own efforts combined with his brothers' -- he himself created his own wealth. -- Mario Ferreira dos Santoshttps://todon.eu/tags/anarchism
There are socialists all over the world, by the millions; but where is socialism... political socialism is politics without socialism, and nothing else. -- Mario Ferreira dos Santoshttps://todon.eu/tags/anarchism
Is a democracy, such as we know it, the last improvement possible in government? Is it not possible to take a step further towards recognizing and organizing the rights of man? -- Henry David Thoreauhttps://todon.eu/tags/anarchism
The poor are to blame for there being rich men. -- Max Stirnerhttps://todon.eu/tags/anarchism
Who knows if it will be possible for the U.S. anarchist scene to coexist with, let alone work with a newly emerging Black anti-authoritarian movement? One thing that white anarchists must understand it that is not merely a question of getting Blacks and other non-whites to join Anarchist associations, just to say they have a Black face. We must work to build a non-racist society and we must have principled unity. -- Lorenzo Kom'boa Ervinhttps://todon.eu/tags/anarchism
We are neither for a majority nor for a minority government; neither for democracy not for dictatorship. We are for the abolition of the gendarme. We are for the freedom of all and for free agreement, which will be there for all when no one has the means to force others, and all are involved in the good running of society. We are for anarchy. -- Errico Malatestahttps://todon.eu/tags/anarchism
The police are making more anarchists than I could do in ten years. -- Emma Goldmanhttps://todon.eu/tags/anarchism
America is just the country that shows how all the written guarantees in the world for freedom are no protection against tyranny and oppression of the worst kind. There the politician has come to be looked upon as the very scum of society. -- Peter Kropotkinhttps://todon.eu/tags/anarchism
The current structure of capital ownership and organization of production in our so-called "market" economy, reflects coercive state intervention prior to and extraneous to the market. -- Kevin Carsonhttps://todon.eu/tags/anarchism
An anarchist society, far from being a remote ideal, has become a precondition for the practice of ecological principles. -- Murray Bookchinhttps://todon.eu/tags/anarchism
