Quotation of the Day - 8 December 2004

[Mephisto2]

The freedom of all is essential to my freedom.

Mikhail Bakunin - Russian anarchist political philosopher (1814 - 1876)

I'm no anarchist, or one of their modern day Libertarian descendents, but I like this quote.

Libertarians aren't anarchists in the pure sense of the world. Only in light of the new breed of neo-conservatives doe we appear to be anarchists.

[Mephisto2]

That depends upon what your definition of an anarchist is. I think you may find it doesn't mean what you think it does.

And I didn't say Libertarians were anarchists, but simply their [political] descendents. Which they are.
