Major political parties have been completely taken in by the new EU project. None of them really opposes it. They have become very corrupt. Who is going to defend our freedoms? It looks like we are heading towards some kind of collapse, some kind of crisis. The most likely outcome is that there will be an economic collapse in Europe, which in due time is bound to happen with this growth of expenses and taxes. The inability to create a competitive environment, the overregulation of the economy, the bureaucratisation, it is going to lead to economic collapse.

The more freedom, the less violence. Conversely, the more power at the center, the more violence. In short: power kills.

Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force! It is a dangerous servant and a terrible master.
- — George Washington
If an exchange between two parties is voluntary, it will not take place unless both believe they will benefit from it. Most economic fallacies derive from the neglect of this simple insight, from the tendency to assume that there is a fixed pie, that one party can gain only at the expense of another.

Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power.
- — George Orwell, in "1984"
Giving money and power to the government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.

Americans like to talk about (or be told about) Democracy but, when put to the test, usually find it to be an "inconvenience". We have opted instead for an authoritarian system *disguised* as a Democracy. We pay through the nose for an enormous joke-of-a-government, let it push us around, and then wonder how all those assholes got in there.
- — Frank Zappa
A society that puts equality [...] ahead of freedom will end up with neither.
- — Milton Friedman
The statist looks at a problem and always sees a gun as the only solution – the force of the state, the brutality of law, violence and punishment. The anarchist – the endless entrepreneur of social organization – always looks at a problem and sees an opportunity for peaceful, innovative, charitable or profitable problem-solving.
- — Stefan Molyneux
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
- — Thomas Jefferson
