@Nautivic The banker is intended to look like George Soros, who acts as the catch-all "rich jew" for anti-semites, so altho not inherently, in this case yes
@yugoslavcomrade@Zarfey_ @punished_brady This is exactly the case also with Marx's supposed quote "My model in life is to dethrone God and abolish capitalism."
@justuschatting Positive rights versus negative rights, yes. I agree and think you should read works by Sidney E. Parker, Dora Marden, and ofc Max Stirner. Freedom is a purely individualist affair and therefore there is only freedom in what you can do, not in what others don't do
"The proper basis of anarchism... is the satisfaction of individuals in their specificity through the provision of the freedom to live their lives in peace and autonomy which utilises their agency to its fullest possibility."
Anarqxista Goldman
"If freedom means utopia, a world with no more domination, then it's a hopeless quest. By now we know that no god, no great revolution, is going to appear and take us to the promised land. Instead, living freely can only mean living fighting."
Shahin
"A map of the world that does not include Utopia is not worth even glancing at, for it leaves out the one country Humanity is always landing. And when Humanity lands there, it looks out, and seeing a better country, sets sail. Progress is the realization of Utopias."
Oscar Wilde
"...not knowing that their wives, children, servants, subjects are their fellow creatures, and hath an equal privilege to share them in the blessing of liberty."
Garrard Winstanley
"Everyone that gets an authority into his hands tyrannizes over others; as many husbands, parents, masters, magistrates, that live after the flesh do carry themselves like oppressing lords over such as are under them..." (1/2)
"What is anarchy? Is it art? It is more than that. Is it science? It is more that. Is it labour? Still more. Is it love? More, more.
Anarchy is life."
Teresa Claremunt
"The state not only had negative effects on those who wielded its power. It would also harm the vast numbers of people who were subject to it by making them engage in forms of practice that did not develop them into the kinds of people needed for a communist society."
Zoe Baker
"Anarchists face the query of the unknown future less in the form of -- What scheme have we to substitute for the status quo? than -- After the annihilation of the oppressive institutions of the present, what social forces and social conditions will remain?"
Charlotte Wilson
"Those of us who are consciously engaging in a project of creating ourselves in a way that completely rejects the domination of the state and capital... are directly opposed to the authority of any political program and are therefore anti-political."

"When the highwayman holds his gun to your head, you turn your valuables over to him. You 'consent' alright, but you do so because you are compelled by his gun. Are you not compelled to work for an employer? Your need compels you, just as the highwayman's gun."
Alexander Berkman
"For, just as it has been said that there is no half-way house between Rome and Reason, so it may be said that there is no half-way house between State Socialism and Anarchism."
Benjamin Tucker
