Quote #14 on Political Struggle Quotes >> Anarchism and Freedom

“The tendency of modern socialism is to establish a vast system of statutory law against which there no longer exists a plea in equity. The object of anarchism, on the other hand, is to extend the principle of equity until it altogether supersedes statutory law.”
