Anarchy | Wisdom and the Philosophy of Freedom

"The state operates in a legal vacuum. There exists no contract between the state and its citizens." Hans-Hermann Hoppe

"No, the state is anything but the result of a contract! No one with even just an ounce of common sense would agree to such a contract. I have a lot of contracts in my files, but nowhere is there one like this. The state is the result of aggressive force and subjugation. It has evolved without contractual foundation, just like a gang of protection racketeers. And concerning the struggle of all against all: that is a myth." Hans-Hermann Hoppe

"I personally call the type of government which can be removed without violence 'democracy,' and the other, 'tyranny.'." Karl Popper

"Let no man posture as an advocate of peace if he proposes or supports any social system that initiates the use of force against individual men, in any form." Ayn Rand

"There can be no compromise between freedom and government controls; to accept 'just a few controls' is to surrender the principle of inalienable individual rights and to substitute for it the principle of the government’s unlimited, arbitrary power, thus delivering oneself into gradual enslavement. As an example of this process, observe the present domestic policy of the United States." Ayn Rand

"All parties without exception, when they seek for power, are varieties of absolutism." Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

"All men are equal and free: society by nature, and destination, is therefore autonomous and ungovernable. If the sphere of activity of each citizen is determined by the natural division of work and by the choice he makes of a profession, if the social functions are combined in such a way as to produce a harmonious effect, order results from the free activity of all men; there is no government. Whoever puts a hand on me to govern me is an usurper and a tyrant; I declare him my enemy." Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

"In any given society the authority of man over man runs in inverse proportion to the intellectual development of that society." Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

"The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws." Ayn Rand

"I stand ready to negotiate, but I want no part of laws: I acknowledge none; I protest against every order with which some authority may feel pleased on the basis of some alleged necessity to over-rule my free will. Laws: We know what they are, and what they are worth! They are spider webs for the rich and mighty, steel chains for the poor and weak, fishing nets in the hands of government." Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

"Politics, as the word is commonly understood, are nothing but corruptions." Jonathan Swift

"The state is a construct of the elites for protection racketeering." Rainer Mausfeld

"When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty." Thomas Jefferson

"What Darwin was too polite to say, my friends, is that we came to rule the earth not because we were the smartest, or even the meanest, but because we have always been the craziest, most murderous motherfuckers in the jungle." Stephen King
