“For the powerful, crimes are those that others commit.”

“The new crimes that the US and Israel were committing in Gaza as 2009 opened do not fit easily into any standard category—except for the category of familiarity.”

“The two main criminals are France and the United States. They owe Haiti enormous reparations because of actions going back hundreds of years. If we could ever get to the stage where somebody could say, 'We're sorry we did it,' that would be nice. But if that just assuages guilt, it's just another crime. To become minimally civilized, we would have to say, 'We carried out and benefited from vicious crimes. A large part of the wealth of France comes from the crimes we committed against Haiti, and the United States gained as well. Therefore we are going to pay reparations to the Haitian people.' Then you will see the beginnings of civilization.”

“Anarchists try to identify power structures. They urge those exercising power to justify themselves. This justification does not succeed most of the time.”

“It's not the generals, it's the civilians who authorise and organise the worst war crimes.”

“The more you can increase fear of drugs, crime, welfare mothers, immigrants and aliens, the more you control all of the people.”

“It's easy to think of things that need to be done, but they all have a prerequisite, namely, a mass popular base that is committed to implementing it.”
