„Los anarquistas son, simplemente, demócratas jeffersonianos hasta las últimas consecuencias y sin miedo de éstas. Ellos creen que 'el mejor gobierno es el que menos gobierna', y el que gobierna menos es el que no gobierna en absoluto.“

„[... ] las huelgas, cuandoquiera y dondequiera que surjan, merecen el respaldo de todos los compañeros de trabajo [... ] Ellas muestran que la gente está empezando a conocer sus derechos y, conociéndolos, se atreven a mantenerlos.“

„El anarquismo es una palabra sin sentido, si no incluye la libertad de la persona para controlar su producto o lo que sea que su producto le ha brindado a través del intercambio en un mercado libre, es decir, la propiedad privada. Quien niega la propiedad privada es necesariamente un arquista.“

„[... ] como un agente de toma de conciencia, como una fuerza de agitación, la benéfica influencia de una huelga es inconmensurable [... ] con nuestro actual sistema económico casi cada huelga es justa. ¿Qué es la justicia en la producción y la distribución? Que la mano de obra, que crea todo, tenga todo.“

„Agresión, invasión, gobierno, son términos intercambiables. La esencia del gobierno es el control, o el esfuerzo por controlar. Quien intenta controlar a otro es un gobernante, un agresor, un invasor; y la naturaleza de tal invasión no cambia si ésta es realizada por un hombre contra otro hombre, a la manera de un delincuente ordinario; por un hombre contra todos los otros hombres, a la manera de un monarca absoluto; o por todos los otros hombres contra un hombre, a la manera de una democracia moderna.“

„Si mil hombres que desempeñen diferentes líneas de negocios se unen para formar un banco de emisión; y si este banco de emisión se une con otros bancos similares con propósitos compensatorios; y si dicho banco presta su bien conocido crédito circulante... ¿costarían los préstamos de este banco más que los sueldos del director y asistentes, alquiler del edificio, gastos de papel e impresión, pérdidas por depreciación de valores, y gastos diversos? ¿No están de acuerdo economistas y estadísticos que un descuento del 0,5% cubre los gastos antes referidos?“

„[... ]la defensa es un servicio como cualquier otro servicio; es un trabajo a la vez útil y deseado, por tanto es una mercancía sujeta a la ley de la oferta y la demanda; que en un libre mercado esta mercancía se ofrecerá a precio de costo; que prevaleciendo la competencia, el patrocinio irá a quien ofrezca el mejor producto al precio más bajo; que la producción y venta de ésta mercancía está ahora monopolizada por el Estado; y el Estado al igual que todo monopolista, carga precios exorbitantes.“

„It has ever been the tendency of power to add to itself, to enlarge its sphere, to encroach beyond the limits set for it; and where the habit of resisting such encroachment is not fostered, and the individual is not taught to be jealous of his rights, individuality gradually disappears and the government or State becomes the all-in-all.“

„This brings us to Anarchism, which may be described as the doctrine that all the affairs of men should be managed by individuals or voluntary associations, and that the State should be abolished. When Warren and Proudhon, in prosecuting their search for justice to labor, came face to face with the obstacle of class monopolies, they saw that these monopolies rested upon Authority, and concluded that the thing to be done was, not to strengthen this Authority and thus make monopoly universal, but to utterly uproot Authority and give full sway to the opposite principle, Liberty, by making competition, the antithesis of monopoly, universal.“ Selected essays and writings on Individualist anarchism & Liberty:

„What of it? Suppose the State is an organism, - what then? What is the inference? That the State is therefore permanent? But what is history but a record of the dissolution of organisms and the birth and growth of others to be dissolved in turn? Is the State exempt from this order? If so, why? What proves it? The State an organism? Yes; so is a tiger. But unless I meet him when I haven't my gun, his organism will speedily disorganize. The State is a tiger seeking to devour the people, and they must either kill or cripple it. Their own safety depends upon it.“ Selected essays and writings on Individualist anarchism & Liberty:

Benjamin Ricketson Tucker7
American journalist and anarchist
„The development of the economic programme which consists in the destruction of these monopolies and the substitution for them of the freest competition led its authors to a perception of the fact that all their thought rested upon a very fundamental principle, the freedom of the individual, his right of sovereignty over himself, his products, and his affairs, and of rebellion against the dictation of external authority. Just as the idea of taking capital away from individuals and giving it to the government started Marx in a path which ends in making the government everything and the individual nothing, so the idea of taking capital away from government-protected monopolies and putting it within easy reach of all individuals started Warren and Proudhon in a path which ends in making the individual everything and the government nothing. If the individual has a right to govern himself, all external government is tyranny. Hence the necessity of abolishing the State. This was the logical conclusion to which Warren and Proudhon were forced, and it became the fundamental article of their political philosophy. It is the doctrine which Proudhon named An-archism, a word derived from the Greek, and meaning, not necessarily absence of order, as is generally supposed, but absence of rule. The Anarchists are simply unterrified Jeffersonian Democrats. They believe that "the best government is that which governs least," and that that which governs least is no government at all.“ Selected essays and writings on Individualist anarchism & Liberty:

„... that the State is, or ought to be, founded on contract." This would be true if the words which I have italicized should be omitted. It was the insertion of these words that furnished the writer a basis for his otherwise groundless analogy between the Anarchists and the followers of Rousseau. The latter hold that the State originated in a contract, and that the people of to-day, though they did not make it, are bound by it. The Anarchists, on the contrary, deny that any such contract was ever made; declare that, had one ever been made, it could not impose a shadow of obligation on those who had no hand in making it; and claim the right to contract for themselves as they please. The position that a man may make his own contracts, far from being analogous to that which makes him subject to contracts made by others, is its direct antithesis.“ Selected essays and writings on Individualist anarchism & Liberty:

„like almost all monopolists, it supplies a worthless, or nearly worthless, article; that, just as the monopolist of a food product often furnishes poison instead of nutriment, so the State takes advantage of its monopoly of defense to furnish invasion instead of protection; that, just as the patrons of the one pay to be poisoned, so the patrons of the other pay to be enslaved; and, finally, that the State exceeds all its fellow-monopolists in the extent of its villainy because it enjoys the unique privilege of compelling all people to buy its product whether they want it or not.“ Selected essays and writings on Individualist anarchism & Liberty:
