The great non sequitur committed by defenders of the State, is to leap from the necessity of society to the necessity of the State.

Capitalism is the fullest expression of anarchism and anarchism is the fullest expression of capitalism.

On the free market, everyone earns according to his productive value in satisfying consumer desires. Under statist distribution, everyone earns in proportion to the amount he can plunder from the producers.

The greatest danger to the State is independent intellectual criticism.

Every man must have freedom, must have the scope to form, test, and act upon his own choices, for any sort of development of his own personality to take place. He must, in short, be free in order that he may be fully human.

The libertarian must never advocate or prefer a gradual, as opposed to an immediate and rapid, approach to his goal. For by doing so, he undercuts the overriding importance of his own goals and principles. And if he himself values his own goals so lightly, how highly will others value them.

Rights might be universal but their enforcement must be local.
