Quote #9 on Political Struggle Quotes >> State and Coercion

“It is an easy approach to libertarian thinking to express the iniquitous violence of the State, and contrast it with the complete nonviolence of a non-governmental society. Yet it is dishonest to show the goods without mentioning the price, and a free society can only come about through determined resistance. It is not only a question of overthrowing a ruling class, but making it abundantly clear that no rule may exist again. The aim of the free society is not the "rejection" of the repressive organs of the State. It is their abolition.”
