No service should be provided at the barrel of a gun, governments (State) are not here to protect and should be abolished.

"A state is a territorial monopolist of compulsion — an agency which may engage in continual, institutionalized property rights violations and exploitation — in the form of expropriation, taxation, and regulation of private property owners." - Hans-Hermann Hoppe

"Taxation is theft, purely and simply, even though it is theft on a grand and colossal scale, of which no acknowledged criminals could hope to match... Like the robber, the State demands money at the equivalent of gunpoint; if the taxpayer refuses to pay, his assets are seized by force, and if he should resist such depredation, he will be arrested or shot if he should continue to resist." - Murray Rothbard

"It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a 'dismal science.' But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance." - Murray Rothbard

"I build no system. I ask an end to privilege, the abolition of slavery, equality of rights, and the reign of law. Justice, nothing else. That is the alpha and omega of my argument." - Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

"If we cannot by reason, by influence, by example, by strenuous effort, and by personal sacrifice, mend the bad places civilization, we certainly cannot do it by force." - Auberon Herbert

"When you advocate any Government action, you must first believe that violence is the best answer to the question at hand." - Allen Thornton

"The Anarchists are simply un-terrified Jefferson Democrats. They believe that 'the best government is that which governs least,' and that government which governs least is no government at all" - Benjamin Tucker

"Anarchism is the only philosophy which brings to man consciousness of himself; which maintain the God, the State, and society are non-existent, that their promises are null and void, since they can only be fulfilled only through man's subordination." - Emma Goldman

"All government in essence," says Emerson, "is tyranny. It matters not whether it is Government by divine right or majority rule. In every instance its aim is the absolute subordination of the individual." - Emma Goldman

"All the services commonly thought to require the State, from the coining of money to police protection to the development of law in defense of rights of person and property can be and have been supplied far more efficiently and certainty more morally by private persons. The State is in no sense required by the nature of man; quite the contrary." - Murray Rothbard

"Fight upon monopolies, whether the all-inclusive monopoly of the State Socialists, or the various class monopolies that now prevail... four of principal importance: the money monopoly, the land monopoly, the tariff monopoly, and the patent monopoly. First in importance of its evil influence.. the money monopoly, which consists of the privilege given by the Government to certain individuals, or to individuals holding certain kinds of property, of issuing the circulating medium, a privilege which is now enforced in this country... upon all other persons who attempt to furnish a circulating medium." "It is claimed that the holders of this privilege control the rate of interest, the rate of rent of houses and buildings, and the prices of goods, - the first directly, and the second and third indirectly." - Benjamin Tucker

"The great are only great because we are on our knees. Let us rise!" - Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as usual." - Seneca the Younger

"Whoever wishes peace among peoples must fight statism." - Ludwig von Mises

"I see the liberty of the individual not only as a great moral good in itself, but also as the necessary condition for the flowering of all the other goods that mankind cherishes: virtue, civilization, the arts and sciences, economic prosperity. But liberty has always been threatened by the encroachments of power, power which seeks to suppress, control, cripple, tax, and exploit the fruits of production. Power, the enemy of liberty, is consequently the enemy of all the other goods and fruits of civilization. And power is almost always centered in and focused on that repository of violence: the state." - Murray N. Rothbard

"Socialism is not the pioneer of a better and finer world, but the spoiler of what thousands of years of civilization have created. It does not build; it destroys. For destruction is the essence of it. It produces nothing, it only consumes what the social order based on private ownership in the means of production has created." - Ludwig von Mises
