The Anarchist are right in everything... in the negation of the existing order, and in the assertion that, without authority, there could not be worse violence than that of authority under existing conditions. They are mistaken only in thinking that Anarchy can be instituted by a revolution. 'To establish Anarchy.' 'Anarchy will be instituted.'

Leo Tolstoy
