Max Nordau | The citizen is in chains

0 Comments/in

“The form in which all European states are governed today allows the services demanded of citizens to be squandered on foolish, frivolous and criminal undertakings. The whim of individuals, the self-interest of vanishingly small minorities, all too often determines the goal towards which the efforts of the whole are directed. Thus the individual citizen works and bleeds so that wars may be waged which destroy his life or his prosperity, so that fortresses, palaces, railroads, harbors or canals may be built from which neither he nor nine-tenths of the nation will ever derive the slightest benefit, so that new offices may be created, which will make the state machine still more cumbersome, the friction of its wheels still harder, in which he will lose still more of his time, still more of his freedom, so that officials may be highly paid who have no other purpose than to lead an ornamental existence at his expense and to make his existence more difficult; In a word, he works and bleeds in order to make his yoke heavier and his chains tighter and to create the possibility of obtaining even more work and even more blood from him….”

Bernard Edouard Harcourt Quote: The Eternal Recurrence of Tyranny and Resistance

0 Comments/in

“The eternal recurrence of new forms of unbearable servitude, and with them, new forms of resistance, demonstrates that human history is not a progressive march toward absolute knowledge, the demise of the state, or the end of history, but rather a constant struggle for our own subjugation, a battle that must be fought anew to establish our subjectivity, ourselves as subjects. Once we grasp the recurring nature of this struggle, only then will we recognize the task that confronts us today and in the future: to resist the ever-pressing forms of tyrannical power, that brutal desire for subjugation, and the ongoing, ever-renewed attempts to rule through fear, terror, and absolute domination.”

Emma Goldman Quotes: The Truth About State and Dominion You Must Know!

0 Comments/in

“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.”

Michael Rivero on Propaganda and Moral Courage – Uncover the Truth!

0 Comments/in

“Most people prefer to believe their leaders are just and fair even in the face of evidence to the contrary, because once a citizen acknowledges that the government under which they live is lying and corrupt, the citizen has to choose what he or she will do about it. To take action in the face of a corrupt government entails risks of harm to life and loved ones. To choose to do nothing is to surrender one’s self-image of standing for principles. Most people do not have the courage to face that choice. Hence, most propaganda is not designed to fool the critical thinker but only to give moral cowards an excuse not to think at all.”

John Henry Mackay Quote: Discover the True Meaning of Anarchism!

0 Comments/in

“Ever reviled, accursed, ne’er understood, Thou art the grisly terror of our age. “Wreck of all order,” cry the multitude, “Art thou, and war and murder’s endless rage.” O, let them cry. To them that ne’er have striven The truth that lies behind a word to find, To them the word’s right meaning was not given. They shall continue blind among the blind. But thou, O word, so clear, so strong, so pure, Thou sayest all which I for goal have taken. I give thee to the future! Thine secure When each at least unto himself shall waken. Comes it in sunshine? In the tempest’s thrill? I cannot tell—but it the earth shall see! I am an Anarchist! Wherefore I will Not rule, and also ruled I will not be!”

Mark Passio on Freedom: How Morality and Truth Defeat Tyranny

0 Comments/in

“The more moral a population is, the freer it becomes. The more immoral a population is, the deeper into bondage and slavery it goes. Another way of saying this is to say that the presence of truth and morality in the lives of the people of any given society is always inversely proportional to the presence of tyranny and slavery in that society. The more truth and morality there is, the less tyranny and slavery there is. The less truth and morality there is, the more tyranny and slavery there is. That’s the Law of Freedom. And many people don’t want to understand that; that these two things are inextricably interwoven and connected and can never be separated from each other: the presence of truth and morality in a society and the presence of freedom or its lack in a society.”

Yoice.net Activists Reveal: The Hidden Role of Science in Power – A Provocative Quote

0 Comments/in

“The vast majority of “anarchists” are in reality not anarchists at all, but – as soon as they are confronted with a “scientific authority” – suddenly become infantile, blue-eyed children who want to be told a story so they can put on their rose-colored glasses and continue dreaming. I can easily imagine a podcast by “anarchists” in which both the host and the guest appear in NASA T-shirts – while railing against politicians and power structures, without realizing that modern “science” – i.e., the modern priestly class – is a crucial element of power and thus of their own enslavement. Because most of the solid walls of the matrix consist of so-called “scientific dogmas, postulates, narratives, axioms, models, paradigms, fantasy constructs, theories, constructs, system laws, guiding principles, consensus formulas, imperial formulas and inviolable concepts.” Anything to which the word “science” is simply tacked on – such as political science, aerospace science, media studies, economics, social science, or law – is in reality nothing more than normative science. It has nothing to do with genuine science in its original, open-ended sense, but is instead an ideological apparatus – a close relative of propaganda and religion. This is unquestioned scientific loyalty in rebellious disguise!”
