Philadelphia Anarchist, Cobbler, Socialite, Anti-Puritan, Anti-Socialist
: From freethinking Northamptonshire to Philadelphia's burgeoning anarchist movement of the 1890s. Never famous, and only occasionally infamous, Brown was typical of many of the militants who made the movement what it was, and his story sheds a fascinating light on the microcosm of a social movement. (From: AKPress.org.)

Quote #6 on Political Struggle Quotes >> State and Coercion
“If we have at any time implied by our criticism that the government could have done other than it did, then we have failed to see the real meaning of government.... Let us be logical, and admit that the government acted in its true character when it took our comrades and strangled them.... A government is organized force, and must itself by force. To expect it to do other than this is stupid and illogical.”
