I regard individuality as the most precious trait we have, because without it there is no creativity, there is no consciousness, there is no rationality. There is nothing that could make me speak more strongly to this point.

When I die Bookchinism comes to an end, and all the allusions to it both among Marxists and anarchists.

I believe that anarchists should agree to disagree but not to fight with each other.

I'm talking of the idea, basically very widespread in America, that the less government the better, which is obviously being used to the advantage of the big corporations, but none-the-less has very radical implications. The idea of a people that exercises a great deal of federalist or confederalist control, the ideal of a grass-roots type of democracy, the idea of the freedom of the individual which is not to get lost in the mazes of anarcho-egotism à la Stirner, or for that matter right-wing libertarianism.

The ecological principle of unity in diversity grades into a richly mediated social principle; hence my use of the term social ecology.

I think it's terribly important that networks of anarchists establish themselves with a view toward educating people.

I feel that we have some opportunity in North America to go back and say the American Revolution was the real thing.
