More From Emma Goldman

Sometimes we feel that one individual's action is very insignificant. then we think, of course, that effects should come from channeling or from a unifying movement. but the movement of the society, community or group of people means joining individuals. society means a collection of individuals, so that initiative must come from individuals. unless each individual develops a sense of responsibility, the whole community cannot move. so therefore, it is very essential that we should not feel that individual effort is meaningless- you should not feel that way. we should make an effort.

There is the great, silent, continuous struggle: the struggle between the state and the individual; between the state which demands and the individual who attempts to evade such demands. because the individual, left to himself, unless he be a saint or hero, always refuses to pay taxes, obey laws, or go to war.

It is no exaggeration to say that every human being is hypnotized to some extent either by ideas he has uncritically accepted from others or ideas he has repeated to himself or convinced himself are true. these negative ideas have exactly the same effect upon our behavior as the negative ideas implanted into the mind of a hypnotized subject by a professional hypnotist.

Faith is precisely the paradox that the single individual as the single individual is higher than the universal, is justified before it, not as inferior to it but superior - yet in such a way, please note, that it is the single individual who, after being subordinate as the single individual to the universal, now by means of the universal becomes the single individual who as the single individual is superior, that the single individual as the single individual stands in an absolute relation to the absolute.
Mean Atheism Way
There is a very broad theory that society gets the right to hang, as the individual gets the right to defend himself. suppose she does; there are certain principles which limit this right. society has got the murderer within four walls; he never can do any more harm. has society any need to take that man's life to protect itself? if any society has only the right that the individual has, she has no right to inflict the penalty of death, because she can effectually restrain the individual from ever again committing his offence.

Western civilization has been in a state of decline since the edwardian age, say 1910. that was the height of greco-roman european civilization. then there was the first world war. that was the beginning of the end. that civilization has been in a decline ever since. but from the american triumphalist point of view our wonderful electronic revolution is really the forefront of an ongoing wonderful civilization.
