“People will say with a straight face that having one choice for dear leader is tyranny �� but having two is freedom.”
― Michael Malice, The Anarchist Handbook

“Some things break when you put too much pressure on them, but those shards they break into can be twice as deadly.”
― C.M. Stunich, Anarchy at Prescott High

“The State is to make what is useful. The individual is to make what is beautiful.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Soul of Man Under Socialism

“Rebellion is as much of a cage as obedience is. They both mean living in reaction to someone else's way instead of forging your own.”
― Glennon Doyle, Untamed: Stop Pleasing, Start Living / A Toolkit for Modern Life

“What one believes in this matter all really boils down to whether or not one has faith in authority. If one does, one is likely to believe what we are being fed, and the news that gets filtered through to us. If one doesn’t, then one is far more likely to be questioning things.”
― Mango Wodzak, Topsy-Turvy World - Vegan Anarchy

“We do not carry on our struggle in order to put ourselves in the place of the exploiters and oppressors of today, nor do we even struggle for the triumph of an empty abstraction.”
― Errico Malatesta, Errico Malatesta: His Life and Ideas

“I couldn’t have thrown that bomb. I was at home making bombs.”
― Louis Lingg, The Anarchist Handbook

“All of anarchism, libertarianism, and anti-Statism can be traced back to the rise of Protestantism. The USA - founded by Protestants (often extremist Protestants expelled from their own countries) is where the love of the individual and hatred of the collective is practically written into its Constitution, which is extremely Protestant in its character.”
― Steve Madison, The Quality Agenda: The Search for Excellence

“The modern institution of the presidency is the primary political evil Americans face, and the cause of nearly all our woes. It squanders the national wealth and starts unjust wars against foreign peoples that have never done us any harm. It wrecks our families, tramples on our rights, invades our communities, and spies on our bank accounts. It skews the culture toward decadence and trash. It tells lie after lie. Teachers used to tell school kids that anyone can be president. This is like saying anyone can go to Hell. It's not an inspiration; it's a threat.”
― Lew Rockwell

“Do not imagine that there is any bird more easily caught by decoy, nor any fish sooner fixed on the hook by wormy bait, than are all of these poor fools neatly tricked into servitude by the slightest feather passed before their mouths.”
― Étienne de La Boétie, The Politics of Obedience: The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude

“They hated children as they hated themselves; they beat them for their own good, and educated them from the perspective of their own incapacity to love life.”
― Raoul Vaneigem

“First get to work; you can enjoy yourself afterwards! Such is the recurring, rhyming themesong that is passed down into the head, programming militarily the rhythm of the body’s movements. Such is, in its numbing insistance, the tune that orchestrates the retreat of nascent intelligence. And rest assured �� it will be a different intelligence that ends up in charge over the frozen behavior of working hours, an intelligence in which heart counts the least and is petrified the most.”
― Raoul Vaneigem

“Anarchists are socialists because they want the improvement of society, and they are communists because they are convinced that such a transformation of society can only result from the establishment of a commonwealth of property.”
― Johann Joseph Most, An Anarchist Reader

“The very idea that any group of people should get to decide the fate of a country, and all its subjects, who for the most part they have personally never met nor had any interaction with, is intrinsically unethical.”

“. Anarchy





Peep once in a lass cave,

In labyrinth of a mermaid

And a fallen saint.

Take away her claws,

Plaster her teeth,

And enjoy the anguish

Of a wounded tigress.

It's fun you know to stand at a safe distance,

And feel the warmth of rolling tears,

Like the aborted fairies

Or nuns who are molested within God's palace.

Nothing much bothers the world nowadays,

Or time in memoriam,

Surfs will lash at the same shore,

Dews be fallen from petals of rose,

It's survival dear cub,

Better believe you are no more.”
― সোনালী চক্রবর্তী

“You can't condone exploitation and oppression, and demand not to be exploited or oppressed. You can't rule over the lives of others, and demand to be master of your own life. You can't walk around stabbing animals (or paying others to do it for you), and complain when someone does something to hurt you. You have to put out what you want back.

Arguing that animals are small brained and therefore it's ok to mistreat them, is small brained. Arguing that animals eat animals and that's why you do it too, is behaving like an animal. Arguing that you're an apex predator when you've probably never even stabbed a single pig in your life makes no sense at all. Arguing "protein!" just shows how little you understand about nutrition. Arguing that our ancestors did so, is simply primitive.

Kindness and compassion are not things to be mocked and jeered at, they are positive traits that are vital for the future of mankind and for the moral progress of humanity. If we are ever to see an end to tyranny of our own kind, by our own kind, we have to stop behaving as if we are the only species that matter! As Gandhi once said, you can judge the moral progress of a nation by the way it treats its animals.”
― Mango Wodzak

“Jesus himself was so obviously a rebel and an anarchist. He spoke out against the state and the money lenders, and was clearly a threat to the Roman Empire. He was basically crucified for the crime of extremism!

If some homeless vagabond (no disrespect to homeless vagabonds intended; I’ve been one myself!) were to appear on the scenes today, sharing Divine wisdom with the world, and gaining hoards of followers, he would soon be denounced by the church and locked up by the government. If he made the outrageous claim of being the unique son of God, they would probably have him institutionalised! Anyone who can draw a crowd is seen as a threat to the status quo, as history has shown that doing so, has always been one of the first steps to social change, so naturally it’s a practice that all tyrants rightly fear and seek to thwart,”

“Gardening is a whole different ball game to farming, it’s part of the solution to which farming is part of the problem.”

“The chains that bind us are not bound around our wrists, they are being tightly held by our fists.”
― Mango Wodzak, Topsy-Turvy World - Vegan Anarchy

“People falsely believe they can put out violence toward fellow earthlings and still expect to get treated fairly. Fair treatment will never happen until we can learn to fairly treat.. This is the foundation stone from which just anarchism must arise.”
― Mango Wodzak

“Anyone who thinks they can get in to politics to be of genuine service to mankind is simply kidding themselves. They'll never be permitted to rise within the system, and if they do, as soon as their true intentions become clear, they'll be disposed of.. JFK was proof of that..”
― Mango Wodzak

“revolution cannot be created by conforming to existing roles in relationships already defined by the systems we want to overthrow.”

“It was suggested to me once that it’s called art-work, not art-fucking-around.”

“...státní aparát [...] skupina lidí, kteří si jako jediní osobují právo - alespoň tehdy, když jsou ve své oficiální roli - používat násilí.”
― David Graeber, Fragments of an Anarchist Anthropology

“Fare il comunismo prima dell'anarchia, cioè prima di avere conquistata la completa libertà politica ed economica, significherebbe (come è significato in Russia) stabilire la più esosa tirannia, tale da far rimpiangere il regime borghese, e ritornare poi (come purtroppo si ritornerà in Russia) al regime capitalistico”
― Errico Malatesta

“How can you tell it’s the end of an era? When a suddenly intolerable present crystallizes in a short period of time what was so uneasily put up with in the past. And everyone is suddenly quite easily convinced that he or she is either going to be reborn in the birth of a new world, or die in the archaic netherworld of a society less and less adapted to the living.”
― Raoul Vaneigem

“Democratic State has an obligation to protect the weak; anarchy thrives on the weakness and helplessness of the weak. A democratic State that does not protect the weak from unlawful coercion and from hunger invites its own doom and creates space for anarchy.”
― R. N. Prasher

“The Rose-Croix Adepts respected the dominant, hierarchical, and revealed religion. Consequently they could no more be enemies of the Papacy than of legitimate Monarchy; and if they conspired against Popes and Kings, it was because they considered them personally as apostates from duty and supreme favors of anarchy. What, in fact, is a despot, spiritual or temporal, but a crowned anarchist?”
― Albert Pike, Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry
