YuvaRevolution.org | “Oh! My State, please kill the Anarchists”; generally, believed by the voters. What an irony, when a statist finds an anarchist a threat to the society. A statist is a voter believing that government is the best religion, in the world. Without it, roads cannot be constructed “efficiently”. Google: Voluntaryism

YuvaRevolution.org | It is common to hear sentiments expressed which violate virtually every tenet of reason and common sense such as, “we are the government.” The useful collective term “we” has enabled an ideological camouflage to be thrown over the reality of political life. If “we are the government,” then anything a government does to an individual is not only just and untyrannical but also “voluntary” on the part of the individual concerned. If the government has incurred a huge public debt which must be paid by taxing one group for the benefit of another, this reality of burden is obscured by saying that “we owe it to ourselves”; if the government conscripts a man, or throws him into jail for dissident opinion, then he is “doing it to himself” and, therefore, nothing untoward has occurred. Under this reasoning, any Jews murdered by the Nazi government were not murdered; instead, they must have “committed suicide,” since they were the government (which was democratically chosen), and, therefore, anything the government did to them was voluntary on their part. One would not think it necessary to belabor this point, and yet the overwhelming bulk of the people hold this fallacy to a greater or lesser degree.

AntiWar.com | Consider this logic. The people supposedly devoted to the stirring words in the Constitution and Bill of Rights are happy to see them violated with the military-industrial complex, the prison-industrial complex, and the surveillance state. If, like me, you feel constantly infuriated and strangely hurt by the fact that America lies about its principles daily, you must hate the place. The warmongers are negligent, indulgent parents of a terror-child. They believe that letting America – that darling – do whatever it likes means they love it the most. But they don’t want to coddle little US too much. It’s got to learn to fight and protect itself, but by wailing on the playground kids who look like they might be trouble. Meanwhile, those of us who say "hang on, wasn’t America supposed to be better than this?" are no-funs and scolds. Loving America seems to mean only letting it bully the world. Wanting a principled America, and trying to fix it when it fails to live up to those principles, means you hate the country.

JonRappoport | There are hundreds of ways to turn humans into android-like creatures. Humans will do it to themselves without any outside help. They’ll induce their own trance at the drop of a hat…while still remaining quite active, quite normal, quite average.

Women are human beings, and consequently have all the natural rights that any human beings can have. They have just as good a right to make laws as men have, and no better; AND THAT IS JUST NO RIGHT AT ALL. No human being, nor any number of human beings, have any right to make laws, and compel other human beings to obey them. To say that they have is to say that they are the masters and owners of those of whom they require such obedience.

NotBeingGoverned.com | We all experience self-interest to a certain degree; this seems to be some natural defense mechanism that keeps our bodies moving. This is nothing for anyone to be ashamed of, and it has nothing to do with the destructive behavior that we are talking about here. However, a line is crossed when someone makes the decision to employ force, fraud, coercion or manipulation to achieve their goals.

KentForLiberty.com | Being "radical" has gotten a bad name due to horrible acts committed by evil radicals. The fault doesn't lie in being radical; it comes from being radical about bad things, or beliefs, which convince people it's acceptable to use aggression, coercion, and theft to advance their cause.
