Where There Is Authority, There Is No

America Is Just The Country That Shows How All The Written Guarantees In The World For Freedom Are No Protection Against Tyranny And Oppression Of The Worst Kind. There The Politician Has Come To Be Looked Upon As The Very Scum Of Society.

It Is Only By The Abolition Of The State, By The Conquest Of Perfect Liberty By The Individual, By Free Agreement, Association, And Absolute Free Federation That We Can Reach Communism — The Possession In Common Of Our Social Inheritance, And The Production In Common Of All Riches.

True Progress Lies In The Direction Of Decentralization, Both Territorial And Functional, In The Development Of The Spirit Of Local And Personal Initiative, And Of Free Federation From The Simple To The Compound, In Lieu Of The Present Hierarchy From The Centre To The Periphery.

The Future Cannot Be Legislated. All That Can Be Done Is To Anticipate Its Most Important Movements And To Clear The Path For Them.

Prisons Are Universities Of Crime, Maintained By The State.
