Nicolas Walter Quotes
Like liberals, anarchists want freedom; like socialists, anarchists want equality. But we are not satisfied by liberalism alone of by socialism alone. Freedom without equality means that the poor and the weak are less free than the rich and strong, and equality without freedom means that we are all slaves together. Freedom and equality are not contradictory, but complementary.
