Left to themselves, humans have always managed their own affairs creatively and well. Indeed, for most of human evolution and history people have lived peaceful, co-operative lives without rulers, leaders, politicians, soldiers, policemen and taxmen.

La seule réplique possible est d'encourager la prudence, d'augmenter le nombre de ceux qui possèdent ce "sens historique" [...],c'est à dire la capacité à distinguer par soi-même entre le spécialiste et l'amateur, l'historien qui cherche les raisons des faits et l'idéologue qui cherche des faits pour se donner raison.

Through my history's despite
and ruin, I have come
to its remainder, and here
have made the beginning

Until my song comes here
to learn its words, my art
is but the hope of song.

There are just men; men who crave ease and power, men who know want and hunger, men who have crawled. They all dream and strive with ecstasy of fear and strain of effort, balked of hope and hate. Yet the rich world is wide enough for all, wants all, needs all. So slight a gesture, a word, might set the strife in order, not with full content, but with growing dawn of fulfillment. Instead roars the crash of hell...
