What, Then Is Law [government]? It Is

Slavery, Protection, And Monopoly Find Defenders, Not Only In Those Who Profit By Them, But In Those Who Suffer By Them.

What, Then Is Law [government]? It Is The Collective Organization Of The Individual Right To Lawful Defense.

Government Is The Great Fiction, Through Which Everybody Endeavors To Live At The Expense Of Everybody Else.

We Hold From God The Gift Which Includes All Others. This Gift Is Life - Physical, Intellectual, And Moral Life.

The Law Has Been Perverted, And The Powers Of The State Have Become Perverted Along With It. The Law Has Not Only Been Turned From Its Proper Function, But Made To Follow An Entirely Contrary Purpose. The Law Has Become A Tool For Every Kind Of Greed. Instead Of Preventing Crime, The Law Itself Is Guilty Of The Abuses It Is Supposed To Punish. If This Is True, It Is A Serious Matter, And Moral Duty Requires Me To Call The Attention Of My Fellow-citizens To It.
