« "America stands where it has always done - against aggression, against those who want to use force to replace the supremacy of law."

« The anarchist ideal, in any form, has always tended, by definition, towards a dismantling of state power. I share this ideal. Yet it often comes into direct conflict with my immediate goals, which are to defend, or even strengthen certain aspects of the authority of the state..... Today, within the framework of our societies, I believe that the strategy of sincere anarchists must be to defend certain institutions of the state against the onslaught they suffer, while trying to force them to open up to a wider and more effective popular participation. This approach is not undermined from the inside by an apparent contradiction between strategy and ideal; It naturally proceeds from a practical prioritization of ideals and an equally practical evaluation of the means of action. »

« What do you do when you fall prey to a virus? First, you destroy it, then you vaccinate its potential victims, so that the disease cannot spread. That's basically the American strategy in the third world. If possible, it is advisable to entrust the destruction of this virus to the local military. If they don't, you have to do it by bringing your own strength. It's extremely expensive and it's inelegant, but sometimes you have to deal with it. Vietnam was one of those places where we had to deal with it. »
