Frank Chodorov fue un pensador y activista estadounidense y miembro de la Old Right, un grupo de ideólogos libertarios minarquistas, quienes fueron antiguerra, antiimperialistas, y opositores al New Deal. Fue discípulo de Albert Jay Nock, y como este tuvo aceptación tanto en ambientes de derecha como de izquierda. A pesar de su influencia sobre la derecha conservadora estadounidense[1]​ Chodorov rechazaba definirse a sí mismo como conservador, y en cambio se autodenominaba individualista. En su formación ideológica hubo una breve influencia del anarquismo y una importante relación con el georgismo, por lo que suele ser calificado como un "geolibertario". Wikipedia

Frases célebres de Frank Chodorov

“Si asumimos que el individuo tiene un indiscutible derecho a la vida, debemos reconocer que tiene un derecho similar al disfrute de los productos de su trabajo. A esto llamamos derecho de propiedad. El derecho absoluto a la propiedad se sigue del original derecho a la vida porque uno sin el otro no tienen sentido; los medios de vida deberán estar identificados con la vida misma. Si el Estado tiene un derecho anterior a los productos de tu trabajo, su derecho a existir está aprobado. Aparte del hecho de que ningún derecho anterior se pueda establecer, con la excepción de declarar el Estado autor de todos los derechos, nuestra inclinación (como se muestra en el esfuerzo por evitar el pago de impuestos) es rechazar este concepto de prioridad. Nuestro instinto está en contra de ella. Nos oponemos a la toma de nuestra propiedad por la sociedad organizada del mismo modo que lo hacemos cuando una sola unidad de la sociedad comete ese acto. En este último caso, sin vacilar se llama al acto robo, un malum in se. No es la ley la que en primera instancia define el robo, es un principio ético, y este lo puede violar la ley, pero no sustituir. Si por la necesidad de vivir se acepta la fuerza de la ley, si por una larga costumbre hemos perdido de vista la inmoralidad, ¿acaso el principio ha sido borrado? Robo es robo, y ninguna cantidad de palabras puede cambiarlo.”

“La sociedad prospera con el comercio simplemente porque este hace posible la especialización, y la especialización incrementa la producción, y una mayor producción reduce los costos y los esfuerzos en pro de las satisfacciones por las cuales los hombres viven. Siendo esto así, el mercado es una institución enormemente humana.”

“Si suponemos que el individuo tiene un derecho indiscutible a la vida, debemos admitir que tiene un derecho similar al disfrute de los productos de su trabajo.”

Frank Chodorov: Frases en inglés

“All wars come to an end, at least temporarily. But the authority acquired by the state hangs on; political power never abdicates.”

“The most irritating thing about Jehovah was His insistence on principles. He would have no truck with expediency, was constantly bringing up long-run consequences, and scolded unmercifully when a fellow gave way to some momentary inclination of the flesh. He enjoined you to keep your eyes off the neighbor's wife and property, gave you no peace when you indulged your appetite for homicide, perjury or adultery.”

“Taxes cannot be compared to dues paid to a voluntary organization for such services as one expects from membership, because the choice of withdrawal does not exist. In refusing to trade one may deny oneself a profit, but the only alternative to paying taxes is jail. The suggestion of equity in taxation is spurious. If we get anything for the taxes we pay it is not because we want it; it is forced on us.”

“The income tax completely destroys the immunity of property. It flatly declares a prior right of the State to all things produced. What it permits the individual to retain is a concession to expediency, not by any means a right; for the State retains the liberty to set rates and to fix exemptions from year to year, as its convenience dictates. Thus, the sacred right of private property is violated, and the fact that it is done pro forma makes the violation no less real than when it is done arbitrarily by an autocrat.”

“The folks who get their rent cheap, at the expense of other taxpayers, acquire the notion that society is obligated to take care of them—good Freudianism and that these rooms are a down payment on that obligation.”

“It is interesting to note that in nearly all the economics courses it is taught that the income tax is the proper instrument for the regulation of the country’s economy; that private property is not an inalienable right (in fact, there are no inalienable rights); that the economic ills of the country are traceable to the remnants of free enterprise; that the economy of the nation can be sound only when the government manages prices, controls wages, and regulates operations. This was not taught in the colleges before 1913.”

“Since the State thrives on what it expropriates, the general decline in production that it induces by its avarice foretells its own doom. Its source of income dries up. Thus, in pulling Society down it pulls itself down. Its ultimate collapse is usually occasioned by a disastrous war, but preceding that event is a history of increasing and discouraging levies on the marketplace, causing a decline in the aspirations, hopes, and self-esteem of its victims.”

“A politicalized monopoly, however, is absolute. Every competitive influence is removed by force. Even abstinence on the part of the public is no threat, since every drop in revenue can be offset by a tax levy. The power of taxation removes the necessity of rendering service.”

“The real reason for withholding taxes is the unwillingness of workers to share their incomes with the government and the consequent difficulties of collection. To overcome this handicap, the government has simply impressed employers into its service as involuntary and unpaid tax collectors. It is a form of conscription. Disregarding the right of privacy, which is an essential of liberty, the government’s agents may, under the law, invade the employer’s office, demand his accounts, and punish him for any infraction which they believe he has committed; they can impound his property and inflict a penalty for not having collected taxes for the government.”

“When the individual says he has a valid title to life, he means that all that is he, is his own; his body, his mind, his faculties. Maybe there is something else to life, such as a soul, but without going into that realm, he is willing to settle on what he knows about himself—his consciousness.”

“The more subsidized it is, the less free it is. What is known as 'free education' is the least free of all, for it is a state-owned institution; it is socialized education—just like socialized medicine or the socialized post office—and cannot possibly be separated from political control.”
