The tragedy of anarchist thought is that the common man is not worthy of freedom. It is necessary to restrain him, to punish him, to subject him to an authority that tells him what he can and cannot do. Starting from the opposite premise, the result is chaos. Rare are those who deserve freedom, those mature enough to bear its consequences. They pay for being superior… But how can we conceive of a world where the common man enjoys full freedom? No, no… no way! The world needs jails and police armed to the teeth.
