Scratch An Egalitarian, And You

I Define Anarchist Society As One Where There Is No Legal Possibility For Coercive Aggression Against The Person Or Property Of Any Individual. Anarchists Oppose The State Because It Has Its Very Being In Such Aggression, Namely, The Expropriation Of Private Property Through Taxation, The Coercive Exclusion Of Other Providers Of Defense Service From Its Territory, And All Of The Other Depredations And Coercions That Are Built Upon These Twin Foci Of Invasions Of Individual Rights.

The More The Government Intervenes To Delay The Market's Adjustment, The Longer And More Grueling The Depression Will Be, And The More Difficult Will Be The Road To Complete Recovery.

The Freedom To Speak Is Meaningless Without The Corollary Freedom To Keep Silent.

We Must Therefore Turn To History For Enlightenment; Here We Find That None Of The Proclaimed Anarchist Groups Correspond To The Libertarian Position, That Even The Best Of Them Have Unrealistic And Socialistic Elements In Their Doctrines. Furthermore, We Find That All Of The Current Anarchists Are Irrational Collectivists, And Therefore At Opposite Poles From Our Position. We Must Therefore Conclude That We Are Not Anarchists, And That Those Who Call Us Anarchists Are Not On Firm Etymological Ground, And Are Being Completely Unhistorical.

The State Is, And Always Has Been, The Great Single Enemy Of The Human Race, Its Liberty, Happiness, And Progress.
