Capital is reckless of the health or length of life of the laborer, unless under compulsion from society
The bandit is the people’s hero, defender, savior. He is the implacable enemy of the state and the whole social and civil order set up by the state.
Liberating the people is moral, already moral because it gives the people the possibility of living a moral way of life. Morals are inconceivable without freedom.
Activate the Mechanism!: Twitter bomb time: #Liberalismin4words
I know we’re all used to a good old fashioned Tumblr bombing, so I thought we could extend our liberal invasion skills to Twitter. #Liberalismin4words is trending right now, with such gems as “Sloth. Wrath. Envy. Pride.” “What’s yours is mine” and “We use bath salts.”…

Guys.
Liberalism =/= American Liberals like Democratics. Historical liberalism refers to the existence of states and a capitalist economic system which is either independent of the state, or they are linked together in a corporatist relationship.
Conservatives are liberals in that they wish to perpetuate the liberal system of capitalism and states. People who are not liberals: Fascists, who wish to merge economic, cultural, and political life into serving the state. Anarchists, who wish to reconstruct politics outside of the centralizing power of the state and the exploitative power of the capitalist economic system. Communists who wish to do something in the middle depending on who you’re talking to. People who are still liberals: “Liberals,” “Conservatives,” and socialists, and anyone who exists along this gamut everyone feels so strongly encompasses politics with George Bush on the right side and like Dennis Kucinich on the other.

As anarchism is a political philosophy that opposes all relationships of power, it is inherently feminist. An anarchist who supports male domination contradicts the implicit critique of power which is the fundamental principle upon which all of anarchism is built. Sexist anarchists do indeed exist, but only by virtue of directly contradicting their own anarchism.
It will be said that the despot assures his subjects civil tranquility. Granted; but what do they gain, if the very tranquility they enjoy is one of their miseries?
They have never succeeded in devising a form of government that was not in greater danger from its own citizens than from foreign foes, and which was not more fearful of the former than of the latter.
Legislation in a republic, Madison wrote, should aim to “reduce extreme wealth toward a state of mediocrity, and to raise extreme indigence toward a state of comfort.
