We in the United States are living in a time of great political and social turmoil, when it has become necessary for those of us who cherish the freedoms and responsibilities assigned to us by our Constitution to stand up to the authoritarians in the current administration who are hell-bent on overturning the very principles on which this country was founded.

We have been called everything from liberals to socialists to communists to anarchists, and worse. But if expressing opposition to a repressive government is anarchy, then consider these words:

“Anarchists did not try to carry out genocide against the Armenians in Turkey; they did not deliberately starve millions of Ukrainians; they did not create a system of death camps to kill Jews, gypsies, and Slavs in Europe; they did not fire-bomb scores of large German and Japanese cities and drop nuclear bombs on two of them; they did not carry out a ‘Great Leap Forward’ that killed scores of millions of Chinese; they did not attempt to kill everybody with any appreciable education in Cambodia; they did not launch one aggressive war after another; they did not implement trade sanctions that killed perhaps 500,000 Iraqi children.

“In debates between anarchists and statists, the burden of proof clearly should rest on those who place their trust in the state. Anarchy’s mayhem is wholly conjectural; the state’s mayhem is undeniably, factually horrendous.”

– Robert Higgs, American Historian and Economist

I rest my case, MAGA people.

Just sayin’ . . .
