A Standing Army Is A Standing Menace

Among The Fundamental Likeness Between The Revolutionary Republicans And The Anarchists Is The Recognition That The Little Must Precede The Great; That The Local Must Be The Basis Of The General; That There Can Be A Free Federation Only When There Are Free Communities To Federate; That The Spirit Of The Latter Is Carried Into The Councils Of The Former, And A Local Tyranny May Thus Become An Instrument For General Enslavement.

If You Choose The Liberty And Pride And Strength Of The Single Soul, And The Free Fraternization Of Men, As The Purpose Which Your Life Is To Make Manifest Then Do Not Sell It For Tinsel. Think That Your Soul Is Strong And Will Hold Its Way; And Slowly, Through Bitter Struggle Perhaps The Strength Will Grow.

A Standing Army Is A Standing Menace To Liberty.

The Revolution Is ... The Blow Dealt ... Agains The Counter Force Of Tyranny, Which Has Never Entirely Recovered From The Blow, But Which From Then Till Now Has Gone On Remolding And Regrappling The Instruments Of Governmental Power, That The Revolution Sought To Shape And Hold As Defenses Of Liberty.

There Is One Common Struggle Against Those Who Have Appropriated The Earth, The Money, And The Machines.
