For, just as it has been said that there is no half-way house between Rome and Reason, so it may be said that there is no half-way house between State Socialism and Anarchism.

Socialism, on the contrary, extends its function to the description of society as it should be, and the discovery of the means of making it what it should be.

We are here to let in the light of Liberty upon political superstition.

If the individual has a right to govern himself, all external government is tyranny. Hence the necessity of abolishing the State.

If I can go through life free and rich, I shall not cry because my neighbor, equally free, is richer. Liberty will ultimately make all men rich; it will not make all men equally rich.

It is foolish in the extreme not only to resort to force before necessity compels, but especially to madly create the conditions that will lead to this necessity.

But which is the State's essential function, aggression or defence, few seem to know or care.
