“In order for a democracy to be effective it needs well educated people to vote. If not then the stupidest person has the same power as the most intellectual man of the generation.

Camillo Mac Bica

We are therefore enemies of the State which is the coercive violent organization of society.”
Errico Malatesta
“People who are always comparing themselves with others will always be in a state of sorrow.”

“The very existence of the State demands that there be some privileged class vitally interested in maintaining that existence. And it is precisely the group interests of that class that are called patriotism.”
Mikhail Bakunin
