Quote of the Day – February 02, 2009

I am truly free only when all human beings, men and women, are equally free. The freedom of other men, far from negating or limiting my freedom, is, on the contrary, its necessary premise and confirmation.
– Mikhail Bakunin

Quote of the Day – February 01, 2009

Government is an association of men who do violence to the rest of us.
– Leo Tolstoy

Quote of the Day – January 31, 2009

The most absurd apology for authority and law is that they serve to diminish crime. Aside from the fact that the State is itself the greatest criminal, breaking every written and natural law, stealing in the form of taxes, killing in the form of war and capital punishment, it has come to an absolute standstill in coping with crime. It has failed utterly to destroy or even minimize the horrible scourge of its own creation.
– Emma Goldman

Quote of the Day – January 30, 2009

Anarchism, to me, means not only the denial of authority, not only a new economy, but a revision of the principles of morality. It means the development of the individual as well as the assertion of the individual. It means self-responsibility, and not leader worship.
– Voltairine de Cleyre

– Lucy Parsons

Quote of the Day – January 28, 2009

As long as parents and teachers in general shall fall under the established rule, it is clear that politics and modes of government will educate and infect us all. They poison our minds, before we can resist, or so much as suspect their malignity. Like the barbarous directors of the Eastern seraglios, they deprive us of our vitality, and fit us for their despicable employment from the cradle.
– William Godwin

Is anarchism desirable? Well, who does not seek freedom? What man, unless willing to declare himself in bondage, would care to call any control agreeable? Think about it!
– Johann Most

We anarchists do not want to emancipate the people; we want the people to emancipate themselves.
– Errico Malatesta

Quote of the Day – January 25, 2009

A man is no less a slave because he is allowed to choose a new master once in a term of years.
– Lysander Spooner

Quote of the Day – January 24, 2009

In the opinion of the anarchist, the sum total of human ills is expressed in one word—authority.
