Since No Individual Acting Separately Can Lawfully Use Force To Destroy The Rights Of Others, Does It Not Logically Follow That The Same Principle Also Applies To The Common Force That Is Nothing More Than The Organized Combination Of The Individual Forces?

Each Of Us Has A Natural Right, From God, To Defend His Person, His Liberty, And His Property.

The Law Is The Collective Organization Of The Individual's Right To Lawful Defense Of His Life, Liberty And Property. When It Is Used For Anything Else, No Matter How Noble The Cause, It Becomes Perverted And Justice Is Weakened. Thus, The Law Has Become Perverted By Stupid Greed And False Philanthropy.

Nothing Is More Senseless Than To Base So Many Expectations On The State, That Is, To Assume The Existence Of Collective Wisdom And Foresight After Taking For Granted The Existence Of Individual Imbecility And Improvidence.

Now Since Man Is Naturally Inclined To Avoid Pain - And Since Labor Is Pain In Itself - It Follows That Men Will Resort To Plunder Whenever Plunder Is Easier Than Work. History Shows This Quite Clearly. And Under These Conditions, Neither Religion Nor Morality Can Stop It. When, Then, Does Plunder Stop? It Stops When It Becomes More Painful And More Dangerous Than Labor. It Is Evident, Then, That The Proper Purpose Of Law Is To Use The Power Of Its Collective Force To Stop This Fatal Tendency To Plunder Instead Of To Work. All The Measures Of The Law Should Protect Property And Punish Plunder.
