"Anarchism has but one infallible, unchangeable motto,
'Freedom'. Freedom to discover any truth, freedom to
develop, to live naturally and fully."

| "To be governed is to be kept in
sight, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, enrolled,
indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, estimated, valued, censured,
commanded... by creatures who have neither the right, nor the wisdom, nor the
virtue to do so."

WE ARE ALL
ANARCHISTS
Maybe not quite as intense as Mr.
Proudhon above... but, nontheless, to some degree, and to some extent, we are
all Anarchists.
If you are like most
Individuals... your idea of "Anarchy" has something to do with
"Overthrowing" a government. Not something that sits well with you. In
fact, if you are self defined as a "Patriot", it's a word that can get
one all emotional and defensive... ready to fight against those who threaten
"Life, Liberty, Justice and The American Way" (if you are an American
that is). In other words "Anarchy" is "Un-American"...
Not so... In fact
"Anarchy" is one of the foundations of any Free Nation. It is as
important to Freedom and Democracy as "dissent".

Definition: (Wikipedia)
Anarchy (from
Greek:
ἀναρχία anarchía, "without
ruler") may refer to any of the
following:
-
"No rulership or enforced
authority."
-
"Absence of government; a state of
lawlessness due to the absence or
inefficiency of the supreme power;
political disorder."
- "A
social state in which there is no
governing person or group of
persons, but each individual has
absolute
liberty (without the implication
of disorder)."
-
"Absence or non-recognition of
authority and order in any given
sphere."

"Our government teaches the whole people by its example.
If the government becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds
contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law
unto himself; it invites anarchy.”
- Louis D.
Brandeis
Supreme Court Justice, 1856-1941 |

"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."
- Lucy

"Every genuine boy is a rebel and an anarch. If he were
allowed to develop according to his own instincts, his
own inclinations, society would undergo such a radical
transformation as to make the adult revolutionary cower
and cringe.”

"Anarchism, really stands for the liberation of the human mind from
the dominion of religion; the liberation of the human body from the
domain of property; liberation from the shackles and restraint of
government."
