I define anarchist society as one where there is no legal possibility for coercive aggression against the person or property of any individual.

It is in war that the State really comes into its own: swelling in power, in number, in pride, in absolute dominion over the economy and the society.

The State is, and always has been, the great single enemy of the human race, its liberty, happiness, and progress.

The State provides a legal, orderly, systematic channel for predation on the property of the producers.

It is particularly odd that economists who profess to be champions of a free-market economy, should go to such twists and turns to avoid facing the plain fact: that gold, that scarce and valuable market-produced metal, has always been, and will continue to be, by far the best money for human society.

Rights might be universal but their enforcement must be local.

Pollution and overuse of resources stem directly from the failure of government to defend private property. If property rights were to be defended adequately, we would find that here, as in other areas of our economy and society, private enterprise and modern technology would come not as a curse to mankind but as its salvation.
