“Anarchists know that a long period of education must precede any great fundamental change in society, hence they do not believe in vote begging, nor political campaigns, but rather in the development of self-thinking individuals. We look away from government for relief, because we know that force (legalized) invades the personal liberty of man, seizes upon the natural elements and intervenes between man and natural laws; from this exercise of force through governments flows nearly all the misery, poverty, crime and confusion existing in society.” ThinkingKnowsMenBelieveLooksLongSelfGovernmentLawPoliticalIndividualForceNaturalLibertyPovertyCrimeDevelopmentPeriodsExerciseElementsFlowVoteFundamentalsMiseryCampaignsConfusionReliefAnarchismAnarchistBeggingNatural LawPolitical CampaignPersonal LibertyChanges In SocietyNatural Elements Author:Lucy Parsons
“Natural good is' so intimately connected with moral good, and natural evil with moral evil, that I am as certain as if I heard a voice from heaven proclaim it, that God is on the side of virtue. He has learnt much, and has not lived in vain, who has practically discovered that most strict and necessary connection, that does and will ever exist between vice and misery, and virtue and happiness.” IfsDoeCertainEvilHeavenSidesVoiceNaturalMoralVirtueHeardGoodnessConnectionsMiseryVicesConnectedVainStrictVirtue And HappinessMoral Evil Book:Remarks on the Talents of Lord Byron and the Tendencies of Don Juan Source: Remarks on the Talents of Lord Byron and the Tendencies of Don Juan
“Human rights are an aspect of natural law, a consequence of the way the universe works, as solid and as real as photons or the concept of pi. The idea of self- ownership is the equivalent of Pythagoras' theorem, of evolution by natural selection, of general relativity, and of quantum theory. Before humankind discovered any of these, it suffered, to varying degrees, in misery and ignorance.” WayHumansIdeasRealSelfLawUniverseNaturalRightsIgnoranceTheoryEvolutionDegreesConceptsConsequenceAspectMiseryHuman RightsHumankindQuantumOwnershipSelectionRelativityNatural SelectionNatural LawTheoremsQuantum TheoryPhotonsGeneral RelativitySelf Ownership Author:L.
