Whoever lays his hand on me to govern me is a usurper and tyrant, and I declare him my enemy.

To be governed is, under pretext of public utility and in the name of the general interest, to be laid under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, exhausted, hoaxed and robbed; then, upon the slightest resistance, at the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, annoyed, hunted down, pulled about, beaten, disarmed, bound, imprisoned, shot, judged, condemned, banished, sacrificed, sold, betrayed, and, to crown all, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonored.

Communism is exploitation of the strong by the weak.

As man seeks justice in equality, so society seeks order in anarchy.

Justice is a faculty that may be developed. This development is what constitutes the education of the human race.
