I believe that there has to be an ideal and I favour an ethical anarchism which can be cohered into an ideal.

As for the workers' movement, I find that I reach workers more easily as neighbors than I do standing outside the factory despairingly giving out a leaflet telling them to take over, say the Ford plant.

I have a great admiration for pacifism, but I'm not a pacifist, mainly because I would defend myself if I were attacked.

I've developed my anarchism, my critique of Marxism, which has been the most advanced bourgeois ideology I know of, into a community of ideas and ultimately a common sense of responsibilities and commitments.

I'm not sitting in judgment on whether or not libertarians can participate in a political process whose very nature they oppose.

I will never surrender the rights of the individual - the complete rights of the individual - to any "ism" whatever.

I'm sorry that some self-styled anarchists have picked up on the word spirit and have turned me into a theological ecologist, a notion which I think is crude beyond all belief.
