Anarchy | Wisdom and the Philosophy of Freedom

"Man is born an asocial and antisocial being. The newborn child is a savage. Egoism is his nature. Only the experience of life and the teachings of his parents, his brothers, sisters, playmates, and later of other people FORCE HIM to acknowledge the advantages of social cooperation and accordingly to change his behavior." Ludwig von Mises

"The worst enemy of life, freedom and the common decencies is total anarchy; their second worst enemy is total efficiency." Aldous Huxley

"The thin and precarious crust of decency is all that separates any civilization, however impressive, from the hell of anarchy or systematic tyranny which lie in wait beneath the surface ." Aldous Huxley

"Communism--the first expression of the social nature--is the first term of social development--the thesis; property, the reverse of communism, is the second term--the antithesis. When we have discovered the third term, the synthesis, we shall have the required solution." Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

"I don't see any possibility of Britain and the U.S. allowing a sovereign independent Iraq; that's almost inconceivable." Noam Chomsky
