Emma Goldman reveals the dark role of the State as a tool of oppression – why trusting politics is dangerous.
“Men and women ... do you not realize that the State is the worst enemy you have? It is a machine that crushes you in order to sustain the ruling class, your masters. Like naïve children you put your trust in your political leaders. You make it possible for them to creep into your confidence, only to have them betray you to the first bidder. But even where there is no direct betrayal, the labour politicians make common cause with your enemies to keep you in leash, to prevent your direct action. The State is the pillar of capitalism, and it is ridiculous to expect any redress from it.”
Emma Goldman

This quote reminds us that the State often serves as a tool of oppression and that we must actively fight for our freedom and justice.
