More often than not, a statist's argument against Anarchism boils down to an unwillingness to take control and responsibility for their own lives, actions, and communities. The sad truth is that the human animal has been domesticated to the point where it actually fears Liberty.

About This Quote

Individuals who wish to live their lives free from government and its oppression and controls, and who wish to establish a voluntary system of mutual aid and cooperation, are often met with resistance from those who feel that they cannot function without the direction or oversight of a centralized authority. This resistance is understandable as it stems from fear, but it also stems from the fact that such people often lack experience in their own lives as well as an appreciation for the benefits of Liberty. Being free from the restraints of authority leaves us free to pursue our interests and dreams without interference or hindrance. Freedom to think and act according to our own wishes is what allows us to truly flourish.
