People often fail to perceive the fundamental difference between the liberal and the anarchistic idea. Anarchism rejects all coercive social organizations, and repudiates coercion as a social technique. It wishes in fact to abolish the State and the legal order, because it believes that society could do better without them. It does not fear anarchical disorder because it believes that without compulsion men would unite for social co-operation and would behave in the manner that social life demands.

Anarchism as such is neither liberal nor socialistic: it moves on a different plane from either. Whoever denies the basic idea of Anarchism, whoever denies that it is or ever will be possible to unite men without coercion under a binding legal order for peaceful co-operation, will, whether liberal or socialist, repudiate anarchistic ideals.

— Ludwig von Mises (Socialism: An Economic and Sociological Analysis)

1326: Stephan Kinsella – To Be An Anarchist

To be an anarchist only means that you believe that aggression is not justified, and that states necessarily employ aggression. And, therefore, the aggression they necessarily employ, are unjustified. It's quite simple, really. It's an ethical view. —Stephan Kinsella, Lawyer, Author, Anarcho-CapitalistDownload Print Quality (7680×4020) 205KB  |  Normal Quality (3840×2010) 101KB

1312: Karl Hess – As Governments Fail

As governments fail around the world, as more millions become aware that government never has and never can humanely and effectively manage men's affairs, government's own inadequacy will emerge, at last, as the basis for a truly radical and revolutionary movement. —Karl HessDownload Print Quality (7680×4020) 199KB  |  Normal Quality (3840×2010) 102KB

Because the state necessarily commits aggression, the consistent libertarian, in opposing aggression, is also an anarchist. —Stephan KinsellaDownload Print Quality (3840×2010) 5.86MB  |  Normal Quality (1920×1005) 253KB
