"To be governed is to be watched over, spied on, directed, legislated, regimented, closed in, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, assessed, evaluated, censored, commanded; all by creatures that have neither the right, nor the wisdom, nor virtue... To be governed means that at every move, operation, or transaction one is noted, registered, entered in a census, taxed, stamped, priced, assessed, patented, licensed, authorized, recommeded, admonished, prevented, reformed, set right, corrected. Government meanse to be subjected to tribute, trained, ransomed, exploited, monopolized, extorted, pressured, mystified, robbed; all in the name of public utility and the general good. Then, at the first sign of resistance or word of complaint, one is repressed, fined, despised, vexed, pursued, hustled, beaten up, garroted, umprisoned, shot, machinegunned, judged, sentenced, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed and to cap it all, ridiculed, mocked, outraged, and dishonored!... O human personality! How can it be that you have cowered in such subjection for sixty centuries?"
Pierre-Joseph Proudon's quote from "Anarchism", written by Daniel Guerin
"Hear me people: We now have to deal with another race---small and feeble when our fathers met them, but now great and overbearing. Stangely enough they have a mind to till the soil and the love of possesions is a disease with them. These people have made many rules which the rich may break but the poor may not. They take their tithes from the poor and weak to support the rich and those who rule."
Chief Sitting Bull, speaking at the Powder River Conference, 1877
"Propaganda is to Democracy as violence is to a Dictatorship. We live entangled in webs of endless deciet, we live in a highly indoctrinated society where elementary truths are easily buried."
Noam Chomsky

"The IAF fights for the abolition of all forms of authority whether economical, political, social, religious, cultural, or sexual and the construction of a free society, without classes, States, or frontiers, founded on anarchist federalism and mutual aid."
Statement of Principles of the International of Anarchist Federations(Preamble)
"Talkin about the American Indian Movement. In 1977 after a long series of struggles, the Agualasue Reservation was under attack by the FBI. People who were involved in the movement there, involved in defending their culture, defending thier freedom were being kidnapped and murdered and the one man who happened to be one of the leaders of AIM was thrown in jail and has sat there for 17 years for crimes he did not commit. His name is Leonard Paltare and this brother has been in jail and has served his people, and has served true freedom and constitutional rights and is being denied his own. And I think it is a hypocracy that all of us need to expose in this country. So that if we want to raise our voice for ourselves here in America the same doesn't happen. Please send, Please send letters to whats his name, f*ckin dixie crap Clinton, who ever that f*ckin punk is. Let's fill this punks room full of f*ckin mail, I know its not the most powerful form of f*ckin change. Let's get this ball rollin' alright."

"When we talk about property, State, masters, government, laws, courts, and police, we say only that we don't want any of them."
Luigi Galleani, from The End of Anarchism?
"I spent 33 years in the Marines. Most of my time being a high-class muscle man for Big business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer for capitalism. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenue in. I helped in the rape of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street...."
Smedley D. Butler (1881-1940) Major General (U.S. Marine Corps)

"Contrary to popular belief, conventional wisdom would have one believe that it is insane to resist this, the mightiest of empires....But what history really shows is that today's empire is tomarrow's ashes, that nothing lasts forever, and that to not resist is to acquiesce in your own oppression. The greatest form of sanity that anyone can exercise is to resist that force that is trying to repress, oppress, and fight down the human spirit."
Mumia Abu-Jamal
