As Dr. Sigmund Freud Has Observed, It

Another Strange Notion Pervading Whole Peoples Is That The State Has Money Of Its Own; And Nowhere Is This Absurdity More Firmly Fixed Than In America. The State Has No Money. It Produces Nothing. It Existence Is Purely Parasitic, Maintained By Taxation; That Is To Say, By Forced Levies On The Production Of Others. 'government Money,' Of Which One Hears So Much Nowadays, Does Not Exist; There Is No Such Thing.

Organized Christianity Has Always Represented Immortality As A Sort Of Common Heritage; But I Never Could See Why Spiritual Life Should Not Be Conditioned On The Same Terms As All Life, I. E., Correspondence With Environment.

As Far As I Know, I Have No Pride Of Opinion.

The State Claims And Exercises The Monopoly Of Crime... It Forbids Private Murder, But Itself Organizes Murder On A Colossal Scale. It Punishes Private Theft, But Itself Lays Unscrupulous Hands On Anything It Wants, Whether The Property Of Citizen Or Of Alien.

The Idea That The State Originated To Serve Any Kind Of Social Purpose Is Completely Unhistorical. It Originated In Conquest And Confiscation - That Is To Say, In Crime. It Originated For The Purpose Of Maintaining The Division Of Society Into An Owning-and-exploiting Class And A Propertyless Dependent Class - That Is, For A Criminal Purpose.
