Leo Tolstoy on Anarchy, Violence, and the True Meaning of Authority
0 Comments/in Leo Tolstoi, Leo Tolstoy“The Anarchists are right in everything; in the negation of the existing order and in the assertion that, without Authority there could not be worse violence than that of Authority under existing conditions. They are mistaken only in thinking that anarchy can be instituted by a violent revolution. But it will be instituted only by there being more and more people who do not require the protection of governmental power and by there being more and more people who will be ashamed of applying this power.”
Lew Nikolajewitsch Graf Tolstoi
Ignazio Silone Quotes on Freedom – Discover the True Meaning of Freedom
0 Comments/in Ignazio Silone“”Freedom is not something you get as a present,” said Pietro. “You can live in a dictatorship and be free – on one condition: that you fight the dictatorship. The man who thinks with is own mind and keeps it uncorrupted is free. The man who fights for what he thinks is right is free. But you can live in the most democratic country on earth, and if you’re lazy, obtuse or servile within yourself, you’re not free. Even without any violent coercion, you’re a slave. You can’t beg your freedom from someone. You have to seize it – everyone as much as he can.””

Just tell me the whole story – I’ll fill in the blanks. But don’t tell me something that you think I’m supposed to know.”
