Don't be obsessed with tactics but with purpose. Tactics have a half life. - Noam Chomsky

A very, in a sense, terrifying aspect of our society, and other societies, is the equanimity and the detachment with which sane, reasonable, sensible people can observe [war]. I think that's more terrifying than the occasional Hitler or LeMay or other that crops up. These people would not be able to operate were it not for this apathy and equanimity...and therefore I think that it's, in some sense, the sane and reasonable and tolerant people who share a very serious burden of guilt that they very easily throw on the shoulders of others who seem more extreme and violent.

MAN: What’s the difference between “libertarian” and “anarchist,” exactly?

There’s no difference, really. I think they’re the same thing. But you see, “libertarian” has a special meaning in the United States. The United States is off the spectrum of the main tradition in this respect: what’s called “libertarianism” here is unbridled capitalism. Now, that’s always been opposed in the European libertarian tradition, where every anarchist has been a socialist — because the point is, if you have unbridled capitalism, you have all kinds of authority: you have extreme authority.

نحن نعارض -بمثابرة وإصرار- الديمقراطية إذا كانت نتائجها خارج نطاق سيطرتنا، والمشكلة مع الديمقراطيات الحقيقية أنها عرضة للوقوع فريسة للهرطقة التى تزعم أن على الحكومات الاستجابة لمصالح شعوبها بدلاً من مصالح المستثمرين الأمريكيين.
