Pacifist-Anarchist Tolstoy 
 by TPO
             Questioning  "Greatness" of Governments  
                         [The Essence of Anarchy]
                                       - Leo Tolstoy -             
~ Government is an association of men who do violence to the rest of us.

~ In all history there is no war which was not hatched by the governments, the governments alone, independent of the interests of the people, to whom war is always pernicious even when successful.

~ The greater the state, the more wrong and cruel its patriotism, and the greater is the sum of suffering upon which its power is founded.

~ There is no greatness where there is no simplicity, goodness and truth.
