“The truth is, one who seeks to achieve freedom by petitioning those in power to give it to him has already failed, regardless of the response. To beg for the blessing of “authority” is to accept that the choice is the master’s alone to make, which means that the person is already, by definition, a slave.” GovernmentEvilPoliticsFreedomLibertyDemocracyMastersTradeLibertarianSocialismCommunismAnarchyIndividualismRulersFreeTheftCoercionNatural LawCollectivismStateStatismVoluntaryismIndividual RightsLaissez FaireIndividual FreedomNatural RightsNon Aggression PrincipleAncapAnarcho CapitalismSubjugationTotalitarianFree MarketsPetitionVoluntaryist Author:Larken Rose
“Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime. Steal a fish from one guy and give it to another--and keep doing that on a daily basis--and you'll make the first guy pissed off, but you'll make the second guy lazy and dependent on you. Then you can tell the second guy that the first guy is greedy for wanting to keep the fish he caught. Then the second guy will cheer for you to steal more fish. Then you can prohibit anyone from fishing without getting permission from you. Then you can expand the racket, stealing fish from more people and buying the loyalty of others. Then you can get the recipients of the stolen fish to act as your hired thugs. Then you can ... well, you know the rest.” GovernmentEvilPoliticsFreedomLibertyViolenceCapitalismSlaveryLibertarianSocialismCommunismAnarchyTaxationFree MarketTheftCoercionSuperstitionCollectivismStatismVoluntaryismLaissez FaireNon Aggression PrincipleAnarcho CapitalismAustrian School Of EconomicsInitiation Of ForceVoluntaryist Author:Larken Rose
“If you personally advocate that I be caged if I don't pay for whatever "government" things YOU want, please don't pretend to be tolerant, or non-violent, or enlightened, or compassionate. Don't pretend you believe in "live and let live," and don't pretend you want peace, freedom or harmony. It's a simple truism that the only people in the world who are willing to "live and let live" are voluntaryists. So you can either PRETEND to care about and respect your fellow man while continuing to advocate widespread authoritarian violence, or you can embrace the concepts of self-ownership and peaceful coexistence, and become an anarchist.” FreedomLibertyCapitalismLibertarianSocialismCommunismAnarchyTaxationTheftCoercionCollectivismStatismVoluntaryismNon Aggression PrincipleAncapAnarcho CapitalismNap Author:Larken Rose
“Dear Anarcho-Communist, If you and I ever find ourselves in a stateless society, have no fear. Just mention that you are a communist, and I promise I will never try to "oppress" and "exploit" you by offering to trade with you, or by offering to pay you to do work.
