"Destruction and violence?"
Far from it
"How is the ordinary man to know that the most violent element of society is ignorance;
that its power of destruction is the very thing Anarchism is combating? Nor is he aware that Anarchism, whose roots,
as it were, are part of natures forces, destroys, not healthful tissue, but parasitic growths that feed on the life's
essence of society. It is merely clearing the soil from weeds and sagrebush, that it may eventually bear healthy fruit.
Anarchism urges man to think, to investigate, to analyse every proposition.
Anarchism is the philosophy of a new social order based on liberty unrestricted by man-made law; the theory that all
forms of government rest on violence, and are therefore wrong and harmful, as well as unnecessary."
- Emma Goldman
