Famous quotes by Johann Most:
"The god of the Christians, as we have seen, is the god who makes promises only to break them; who sends them pestilence and disease in order to heal them; a god who demoralizes mankind in order to improve it. A god who created man 'after his own image', and still the origin of evil in man is not accredited to him."
"The more man clings to religion, the more he believes. The more he believes, the less he knows. The less he knows, the more stupid he is. The more stupid, the easier he can be governed! The easier to govern, the better he may be exploited. The more exploited, the poorer he gets. The poorer he gets, the richer and mightier the domineering classes get, the more riches and power they amass, the heavier their yoke upon the neck of the people."
"Among all mental diseases that have been systematically inoculated into the human cranium, the religious pest is the most abominable"
"As set forth by theologians, the idea of "God" is an argument that assumes its own conclusions, and proves nothing"
"A god who created man "after his own image", and still the origin of evil in man is not accredited to him"
"It is the lash of hunger which compels the poor man to submit. In order to live he must sell - 'voluntarily'" sell - himself every day and hour to the 'beast of property.'"
"'God' - as revealed in his book of edicts and narratives is practically an idiot. He has nothing to say that any sensible person should want to listen to."
"Above all, what socialist, without flushing with shame, maintains he is not a revolutionary? We say: none!."
"We need do no more than repeat: only under communism does the individual become himself and lead his own life."
"Whoever looks at America will see: the ship is powered by stupidity, corruption, or prejudice."
"If we hope and even assume that the social question will be answered through communism, and not in this or that country but in the world, any thought of centralization must be a monstrosity."
"He who negates present society, and seeks social conditions based on the sharing of property, is a revolutionary whether he calls himself an anarchist or a communist."
"They make revolutionary propaganda because they know the privileged class can never be overturned peacefully."
