Two quotes by Albert Jay Nock (1870-1945)

"As Dr. Sigmund Freud has observed, it can not even be said that the State has ever shown any disposition to suppress crime, but only to safeguard its own monopoly of crime. … Taking the State wherever found, striking into its history at any point, one sees no way to differentiate the activities of its founders, administrators and beneficiaries from those of a professional-criminal class."

Our Enemy, The State (1935) by Albert Jay Nock (1870-1945)... And nother quote worth posting...

"The practical reason for freedom is that freedom seems to be the only condition under which any kind of substantial moral fiber can be developed — we have tried law, compulsion and authoritarianism of various kinds, and the result is nothing to be proud of."

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
Study, Ponder, Labor, till last Breath.
