Ok, there HAS to be one of us running wikiquote. The front page has an anarchy symbol, a hammer and sickle, or a leftist flag every other day. Also, there is an anti-capitalist quote every so often.

I got this.


Quote of the day

Codes and manuals create patterned behavior. All patterned behavior tends to go unquestioned, gathering destructive momentum.

Rudolf Rocker has been the quote of the day over 8 times. It's always the same mod who posts it, which is pretty cool there's a dedicated anarchist there.

some others:

I'm an optimist. In order to be libertarian, you have to be an optimist. You have to have a benign view of human nature, to believe that human beings left to their own devices are basically good. But I'm not so sure about human institutions, and I think the real point of argument here is whether or not large corporations are human institutions or some other entity we need to be thinking about curtailing. Most libertarians are worried about government but not worried about business. I think we need to be worrying about business in exactly the same way we are worrying about government. ~ John Perry Barlow (born 3 October 1947)

he real difficulty is with the vast wealth and power in the hands of the few and the unscrupulous who represent or control capital. Hundreds of laws of Congress and the state legislatures are in the interest of these men and against the interests of workingmen. These need to be exposed and repealed. All laws on corporations, on taxation, on trusts, wills, descent, and the like, need examination and extensive change. This is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people no longer. It is a government of corporations, by corporations, and for corporations. — How is this? ~ Rutherford B. Hayes

The unrestricted competition so commonly advocated does not leave us the survival of the fittest. The unscrupulous succeed best in accumulating wealth.. ~ Rutherford B. Hayes
