Liberty, by placing men to equal footing, creates association, amalgamation, union, security.” To say that the liberty exists is to say that classlessness exists, to say that brotherhood and equality exist.Īuthority, by dividing men into classes, creates dichotomy, disruption, hostility, fear, disunion. Thus, to say that authority exists is to say that class and cast exist, that submission and inequality exist. Authority exists when one man obeys another, and liberty exists when one man do not obey other men. If authority implies submission, liberation implies equality.
