“‘Are you a Republican?”
“Yes, but it does not mean anything. Res publica, the public thing. Anyone interested in public affairs can be defined as Republican. Even kings are republicans.”
“Well! So you’re a Democrat?”
“No.”
“What? Maybe a monarchy?”
“No.”
“Constitutionalist?”
“God forbid!”
“You want a mixed form of government?”
“Less than never …”
“Then what are you?”
“An anarchist …”
“Ah, I see. Ironic you.”
“Absolutely not. I’m giving you my serious and well-considered profession of faith. Though a fervent supporter of the order, I am - in the strongest sense of the word - an anarchist.” »
Pierre-Joseph Proudhon
– (via a-anarchist) Via I'm crazy.
