“The Anarchists answer that the abolition of the State will leave in existence a defensive association, resting no longer on a compulsory but on a voluntary basis, which will restrain invaders by any means that may prove necessary.”

Whoso knows what these two schools want and how they propose to get it understands the Socialistic movement.

First, then, State Socialism, which may be described as the doctrine that all the affairs of men should be managed by the government, regardless of individual choice.

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,

We are here, on earth. Not one of us has any right to the earth.

In the matter of the maintenance and rearing of children the Anarchists would neither institute the communistic nursery which the State Socialists favor nor keep the communistic school system which now prevails.

It is because peaceful agitation and passive resistance are effective that I uphold them, and it is because force strengthens tyranny that I condemn it. War and Authority are companions.

This, then, is the Anarchistic definition of government: the subjection of the non-invasive individual to an external will.

The moment that justice must be paid for by the victim of injustice it becomes itself injustice.

And capital punishment, however ineffective it may be and through whatever ignorance it may be resorted to, is a strictly defensive act, – at least in theory.

Is not the very beginning of privilege, monopoly and industrial slavery this erecting of the ballot-box above the individual?

The cost of justice can be justly paid only by the invader.

Man’s only right to land is his might over it. If his neighbor is mightier than he and takes the land from him, then the land is his neighbor’s, until the latter is dispossessed by one mightier still.

An Anarchist is anyone who denies the necessity and legitimacy of government; the question of his methods of attacking it is foreign to the definition.

Socialism, on the contrary, extends its function to the description of society as it should be, and the discovery of the means of making it what it should be.

As a choice of blessings, liberty is the greater; as a choice of evils, liberty is the smaller. Then liberty always says the Anarchist. No use of force except against the invader.

The exercise of authority over the same area by two States is a contradiction.

There is one question that I don’t think Gary Condit can answer, and that I think is why we all aimed at Gary Condit, besides the fact that he has a relationship.

I knew the answer, and–of course–so did Ramses. He has superb breath control and always gets in ahead of me.

Winners see an answer for every problem; losers see a problem in every answer!

The concept of loyalty is a very strange concept. When loyalty is to be tested, the real answer is that may it never be.

The Truth doesn’t answer anything. The Truth IS everything!

There is only one question. And once you know the answer to that question there are no more to ask.

How should they answer?

I have a lot of questions and I don’t have that many answers. So what better place to exercise those thoughts than the lyrics, I guess.
