Quote #5 on Political Struggle Quotes >> Criminal Culture and Freedom
“Even back in the legendary days of Robin Hood, violence was justified once social conquest was recognized. It not only justifies the revolutionary, but also, at any rate to himself, the criminal. What is wealth but the accumulated thefts of the past? How did the titles and the ownership of land arise? Once it is appreciated that the accumulation of property is due to theft, but that the robbery goes back in time, it is hard for anyone to understand the argument of capitalist economics that robbery has to cease now. Why? Because the law says so.”
