in #ac8 years ago (edited)

What if you had the greatest excerpts, quotes and thoughts of history's Anarchists all in one place? I will try this endeavor, constantly editing it as I go until I decide it's finished. So stay tuned this will be a work in progress.

Genesis

In the beginning Men and Women realized the earth and the heavens. The earth was as yet unformed and desolate, with the surface of the ocean depths shrouded in darkness, and Men and Women's ideas hovered over the surface of the waters. And Men and Women opened their eyes and saw there was light. Men and Women inherently knew that the light was good and they separated that light from the darkness. Men and Women called the light "day, good and right" and the darkness they called "night, bad and wrong." And there was evening, and there was morning -- the first day. Then Men and Women saw the ground beneath their feet and some said, "Property should be in a certain sense common, but, as a general rule, private; for, when every one has a distinct interest, men will not complain of one another, and they will make more progress, because every one will be attending to his own business." Aristotle - So Men and Women had their private property and some disagreed wanting instead to, "Abolish all private property." Karl Marx - And soon they would realize both could be had peacefully and amicably through the idea of Anarchy. They did not know yet of the coming storm that which, "the only task of the government is the protection of private property." John Locke
