The exercise of authority over the same area by two States is a contradiction.
Benjamin TuckerBenjamin Tucker The student of Liberty must constantly endeavor to disassociate his imagination from sanguinary dramas of assassination and revolt.
Benjamin TuckerBenjamin Tucker Commanded love of all men indiscriminately is an obliteration of distinction between love and hate, and therefore is not love at all.
Benjamin TuckerBenjamin Tucker To force a man to pay for the violation of his own liberty is indeed an addition of insult to injury.
Benjamin TuckerBenjamin Tucker Aggression is simply another name for government. Aggression, invasion, government, are interconvertible terms. The essence of government is control, or the attempt to control.
Benjamin TuckerBenjamin Tucker But which is the State’s essential function, aggression or defence, few seem to know or care.
Benjamin TuckerBenjamin Tucker Peace and Liberty are companions. It is foolish in the extreme not only to resort to force before necessity compels, but especially to madly create the conditions that will lead to this necessity.
Benjamin TuckerBenjamin Tucker And this is the Anarchistic definition of the State: the embodiment of the principle of invasion in an individual, or a band of individuals, assuming to act as representatives or masters of the entire people within a given area.
Benjamin TuckerBenjamin Tucker [T]he State . . . gives idle capital the power of increase, and, through interest, rent, profit, and taxes, robs industrious labor of its products.
Benjamin TuckerBenjamin Tucker He who attempts to control another is a governor, an aggressor, an invader; and the nature of such invasion is not changed, whether it is made by one man upon another man … or by all other men upon one man, after the manner of a modern democracy.
Benjamin TuckerBenjamin Tucker Marx, as we have seen, solved it by declaring capital to be a different thing from product, and maintaining that it belonged to society and should be seized by society and employed for the benefit of all alike.
Benjamin TuckerBenjamin Tucker Mind your own business” is its own moral law. Interference with another’s business is a crime and the only crime, and as such may properly be resisted.
Benjamin TuckerBenjamin Tucker The right of the majority is absolute.
Benjamin TuckerBenjamin Tucker We are here to let in the light of Liberty upon political superstition.
Benjamin TuckerBenjamin Tucker I define Anarchism as the belief in the greatest amount of liberty compatible with equality of liberty; or, in other words, as the belief in every liberty except the liberty to invade.
Benjamin TuckerBenjamin Tucker If I can go through life free and rich, I shall not cry because my neighbor, equally free, is richer. Liberty will ultimately make all men rich; it will not make all men equally rich.
