Justice Is Achieved Only When Injustice Is

Property Does Not Exist Because There Are Laws, But Laws Exist Because There Is Property.

But We Assure The Socialists That We Repudiate Only Forced Organization, Not Natural Organization. We Repudiate The Forms Of Association That Are Forced Upon Us, Not Free Association. We Repudiate Forced Fraternity, Not True Fraternity. We Repudiate The Artificial Unity That Does Nothing More Than Deprive Persons Of Individual Responsibility. We Do Not Repudiate The Natural Unity Of Mankind Under Providence.

The Mission Of The Law Is Not To Oppress Persons And Plunder Them Of Their Property, Even Though The Law May Be Acting In A Philanthropic Spirit. Its Purpose Is To Protect Persons And Property.... If You Exceed This Proper Limit -- If You Attempt To Make The Law Religious, Fraternal, Equalizing, Philanthropic, Industrial, Or Artistic -- You Will Then Be Lost In Uncharted Territory, In Vagueness And Uncertainty, In A Forced Utopia Or, Even Worse, In A Multitude Of Utopias, Each Striving To Seize The Law And Impose It On You.

The Law Is The Collective Organization Of The Individual's Right To Lawful Defense Of His Life, Liberty And Property. When It Is Used For Anything Else, No Matter How Noble The Cause, It Becomes Perverted And Justice Is Weakened. Thus, The Law Has Become Perverted By Stupid Greed And False Philanthropy.

If Every Person Has The Right To Defend - Even By Force - His Person, His Liberty, And His Property, Then It Follows That A Group Of Men Have The Right To Organize And Support A Common Force To Protect These Rights Constantly. Thus, Since An Individual Cannot Lawfully Use Force Against The Person, Liberty, Or Property Of Another Individual, Then The Common Force - For The Same Reason - Cannot Lawfully Be Used To Destroy The Person, Liberty, Or Property Of Individuals Or Groups.
