Frases Karl Hess
„Comencé a leer a los anarquistas estadounidenses en gran parte gracias a las recomendaciones de mi amigo Murray Rothbard, vinculado al anarcocapitalismo. En la lectura de las obras de Emma Goldman descubrí que los anarquistas creían todo lo que había confiado que defendía el Partido Republicano, y que ella era la fuente de las mejores y más esenciales teorías de Ayn Rand sin nada del solipsismo demente al que Rand era tan aficionada".“

película Anarchism in America
„El capitalismo laissez-faire, o anarcocapitalismo, es simplemente la forma económica de la ética libertaria. El capitalismo laissez-faire abarca la noción de que los hombres deben intercambiar bienes y servicios, sin regulación, únicamente sobre la base del valor por el valor. Reconoce la actividad sin fin de lucro y las empresas comunitarias como versiones voluntarias de esta misma ética. Un sistema de este tipo sería un trueque estricto, con excepción de la generalizada necesidad aceptada de una división del trabajo en el que los hombres, voluntariamente, acepten fichas de valor tales como dinero en efectivo y crédito. Económicamente, este sistema es la anarquía, y con orgullo".“

„Libertarianism is clearly the most, perhaps the only truly radical movement in America. It grasps the problems of society by the roots. It is not reformist in any sense. It is revolutionary in every sense.“

„Libertarianism is a people's movement and a liberation movement.“
— Karl Hess
Context: Libertarianism is a people's movement and a liberation movement. It seeks the sort of open, non-coercive society in which the people, the living, free, distinct people may voluntarily associate, dis-associate, and, as they see fit, participate in the decisions affecting their lives. This means a truly free market in everything from ideas to idiosyncrasies. It means people free collectively to organize the resources of their immediate community or individualistically to organize them; it means the freedom to have a community-based and supported judiciary where wanted, none where not, or private arbitration services where that is seen as most desirable. The same with police. The same with schools, hospitals, factories, farms, laboratories, parks, and pensions. Liberty means the right to shape your own institutions. It opposes the right of those institutions to shape you simply because of accreted power or gerontological status.
„Radical and revolutionary movements seek not to revise but to revoke. The target of revocation should be obvious. The target is politics itself.“
