The best way to turn the earth into hell is to turn the state into a god.

Unorganized morality is called sociability. Organized morality is called civilization. Unorganized immorality is called barbarity. Organized immorality is called statism.

To eliminate statism is not to physically subdue the rulers, but to mentally liberate the ruled.

Perhaps the most flagrant testimony to the intellectual shallowness of statism is that the typical statist believes that the fantastically hypothetical threat of a corporation monopolizing the supply of water is a devastating objection to libertarianism, but the painfully real threat of a state methodically exterminating tens of millions of individuals is not a devastating objection to statism.

What makes the difference between a gang and a state is the belief that there is a difference between a gang and a state.

Anarcho-capitalism is to “minimal statism” what a cure is to a painkiller.
