“I’m not an anarchist any longer,
because I’ve concluded that anarchism is an impractical ideal.
Nowadays, I regard myself as a libertarian. I suppose an anarchist
would say, paraphrasing what Marx said about agnostics being
“frightened atheists,” that libertarians are simply frightened
anarchists. Having just stated the case for the opposition, I will go
along and agree with them: yes, I am frightened. I’m a libertarian
because I don’t trust the people as much as anarchists do. I want
to see government limited as much as possible; I would like to see it
reduced back to where it was in Jefferson’s time, or even smaller.
But I would not like to see it abolished. I think the average
American, if left totally free, would act exactly like Idi Amin. I
don’t trust the people any more than I trust the government.” - Robert Anton Wilson

"Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a
troublesome servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it
be left to irresponsible action."
