Larken Rose
“Politics: the art of using euphemisms, lies, emotionalism and fear-mongering to dupe average people into accepting--or even demanding--their own enslavement.”
Larken Rose

“The belief in "government" is not based on reason; it is based on faith.”
Larken Rose, The Most Dangerous Superstition

Larken Rose
“Some of us realize the self-evident truth that no election, no constitution, no legislation, and no other pseudo-religious political ritual can bestow upon anyone the right to rule another. Nothing can make a man into a rightful master; nothing can make a man into a rightful slave.”
Larken Rose, The Iron Web

Frederick Douglass
“Slaves are generally expected to sing as well as to work.”
Frederick Douglass

Larken Rose
“Frederick Douglass, a former slave, witnessed and described that exact phenomenon among his fellow slaves, many of whom were proud of how hard they worked for their masters and how faithfully they did as they were told. From their perspective, a runaway slave was a shameful thief, having "stolen" himself from the master.”
Larken Rose, The Most Dangerous Superstition
