Pierre-Joseph Proudhon: Critique of Government Control
“To be GOVERNED is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. To be GOVERNED is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be placed under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonored. That is government; that is its justice; that is its morality.”
Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

Umberto Eco Quotes: Revealing the Modern Danger of Fascism!
“We can look anywhere we want, in all Western countries, whether in America or Europe, fascists are gaining more and more power (and the left helps them) and are turning countries into surveillance and police states. Today’s fascism outwardly has nothing to do with the past. No uniforms, goose steps, or raised salutes. No, it is modern, cleverly packaged, and sold with PR.”
Umberto Eco
