Our First Work Must Be The Annihilation

They Maintain That Only A Dictatorship - Their Dictatorship, Of Course - Can Create The Will Of The People, While Our Answer To This Is: No Dictatorship Can Have Any Other Aim But That Of Self-perpetuation, And It Can Beget Only Slavery In The People Tolerating It; Freedom Can Be Created Only By Freedom, That Is, By A Universal Rebellion On The Part Of The People And Free Organization Of The Toiling Masses From The Bottom Up.

In Every State, The Government Is Nothing But A Permanent Conspiracy On The Part Of The Minority Against The Majority, Which It Enslaves And Fleeces.

Everything Will Pass, And The World Will Perish But The Ninth Symphony Will Remain.

We Must Overthrow The Material And Moral Conditions Of Our Present-day Life. . . . We Must First Purify Our Atmosphere And Completely Transform The Milieu In Which We Live; For It Corrupts Our Instinct And Our Will, And Constricts Our Heart And Our Intelligence

Idealism Is The Despot Of Thought, Just As Politics Is The Despot Of Will.
