“People tend to rally around power.”

“See, people with power understand exactly one thing: violence.”

“If by 'intellectual' you mean people who are a special class who are in the business of imposing thoughts and forming ideas for people in power, and telling people what they should believe...they're really more a kind of secular priesthood, whose task it is to uphold the doctrinal truths of the society. And the population SHOULD be anti-intellectual in that repect.”

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

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

“The intellectual tradition is one of servility to power, and if I didn't betray it I'd be ashamed of myself.”

“There are few genuine conservatives within the U.S. political system, and it is a sign of the intellectual corruption of the age that the honorable term 'conservatism' can be appropriated to disguise the advocacy of a powerful, lawless, aggressive and violent state, a welfare state for the rich dedicated to a lunatic form of Keynesian economic intervention that enhances state and private power while mortgaging the country's future.”
