Anarchists Generally Make Use If The Word

The Only Limit To The Oppression Of Government Is The Power With Which The People Show Themselves Capable Of Opposing It.

Not Whether We Accomplish Anarchism Today, Tomorrow, Or Within Ten Centuries, But That We Walk Towards Anarchism Today, Tomorrow, And Always.

If You Say That You Reject Violence When It Exceeds The Limits Imposed By The Needs Of Defense, They Accuse You Of Pacifism, Without Understanding That Violence Is The Whole Essence Of Authoritarianism, Just As The Repudiation Of Violence Is The Whole Essence Of Anarchism.

Anarchy Is A Word That Comes From The Greek, And Signifies, Strictly Speaking, "without Government": The State Of A People Without Any Constituted Authority. Before Such An Organization Had Begun To Be Considered Possible And Desirable By A Whole Class Of Thinkers, So As To Be Taken As The Aim Of A Movement (which Has Now Become One Of The Most Important Factors In Modern Social Warfare), The Word "anarchy" Was Used Universally In The Sense Of Disorder And Confusion, And It Is Still Adopted In That Sense By The Ignorant And By Adversaries Interested In Distorting The Truth.

Anarchism Is The Abolition Of Exploitation And Oppression Of Man By Man, That Is, The Abolition Of Private Property And Government; Anarchism Is The Destruction Of Misery, Of Superstitions, Of Hatred. Therefore, Every Blow Given To The Institutions Of Private Property And To The Government, Every Exaltation Of The Conscience Of Man, Every Disruption Of The Present Conditions, Every Lie Unmasked, Every Part Of Human Activity Taken Away From The Control Of The Authorities, Every Augmentation Of The Spirit Of Solidarity And Initiative, Is A Step Towards Anarchism.
