It is the collective organization of the individual right to lawful defense. ... since an individual cannot lawfully use force against the person, liberty, or property of another individual, then the common force -- for the same reason -- cannot lawfully be used to destroy the person, liberty, or property of individual groups. ... But, unfortunately, law by no means confines itself to its proper functions. And when it has exceeded its proper functions, it has not done so merely in some inconsequential and debatable matters. The law has gone further than this; it has acted in direct opposition to its own purpose. The law has been used to destroy its own objective: It has been applied to annihilating the justice that it was supposed to maintain; to limiting and destroying rights which its real purpose was to respect. The law has placed the collective force at the disposal of the unscrupulous who wish, without risk, to exploit the person, liberty, and property of others.

And it has converted lawful defense into a crime, in order to punish lawful defense.~ Frederic BastiatI may die a beggar, but with the Grace of God, I will not die a slave.

The individual has a soul, but as the state is a soulless machine, it can never be weaned from violence to which it owes its very existence.~ Mahatma Mohandas K. GandhiThe only path to the final defeat of imperialism and the building of socialism is revolutionary war.~ Bill AyersSocialism is the phantastic younger brother of despotism, which it wants to inherit. Socialism wants to have the fullness of state force which before only existed in despotism. ... However, it goes further than anything in the past because it aims at the formal destruction of the individual ... who ... can be used to improve communities by an expedient organ of government.~ Friedrich Nietzsche Previous week's quotes Next week's quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
