Quotations from Chairman Zhu 朱主席語錄

Quotations from Chairman Zhu
朱主席語錄

Quotations from Chairman Zhu, or 朱語錄 , is a collection of political observations by free market anarchist Bevin Chu, in the manner of Ambrose Bierce, Oscar Wilde, and H.L. Mencken.

Bevin Chu’s name, 朱炳文 , is transliterated as “Zhu Bingwen” according to the Hanyu Pinyin system used on the Chinese mainland.

Quotations from Chairman Zhu is obviously a satirical jab at the late  Mao Zedong, whose Quotations from Chairman Mao, or 毛語錄 , was polea apart from Chu’s free market anarchism.

Quotations from Chairman Zhu will be updated whenever the Muse inspires.

Champion of democracy: Someone who approves of dictatorships as long as they hold elections. https://anenemyofthestate.wordpress.com/quotations-from-chairman-zhu/

Democracy is government of the sheeple, by the sheeple, and for the sheeple. https://anenemyofthestate.wordpress.com/quotations-from-chairman-zhu/

Democracy is mob rule in every sense of the term. It is rule by organized crime from above, and disorganized rabble from below. https://anenemyofthestate.wordpress.com/quotations-from-chairman-zhu/

Democracy is the most successful long con in history. https://anenemyofthestate.wordpress.com/quotations-from-chairman-zhu/

I am an enemy of democracy because democracy is the enemy of liberty. https://anenemyofthestate.wordpress.com/quotations-from-chairman-zhu/

In theory, democracy is government of the people, by the people, and for the people. In practice, it is government of the people in government, by the people in government, and for the people in government. https://anenemyofthestate.wordpress.com/quotations-from-chairman-zhu/

E:

Extortion: the crime of demanding payment for unsolicited “protection” from real or hypothetical threats from other parties. Governments refer to their extortion as “taxation”. https://anenemyofthestate.wordpress.com/quotations-from-chairman-zhu/

The electorate: government term for willing victims. https://anenemyofthestate.wordpress.com/quotations-from-chairman-zhu/

The love of money is not the root of all evil. That distinction is reserved for the lust for power. https://anenemyofthestate.wordpress.com/quotations-from-chairman-zhu/

When government is involved, “equal treatment” means equal mistreatment. https://anenemyofthestate.wordpress.com/quotations-from-chairman-zhu/

F:

Anyone who appends a “but” after the phrase “I am a champion of freedom”, is no champion of freedom. https://anenemyofthestate.wordpress.com/quotations-from-chairman-zhu/

The West does not have freedom of information. It has freedom of disinformation. https://anenemyofthestate.wordpress.com/quotations-from-chairman-zhu/

G:

Government is not about serving the people. It is about herding the sheeple. https://anenemyofthestate.wordpress.com/quotations-from-chairman-zhu/

Government is an institution that enables sociopaths to reassure themselves that “everything is under control”. In short, government is not a hallmark of civilizational order, but a symptom of mental illness. https://anenemyofthestate.wordpress.com/quotations-from-chairman-zhu/

Government: a gang of thugs that demands obedience and money at gunpoint from everyone inside a line it drew on a map. https://anenemyofthestate.wordpress.com/quotations-from-chairman-zhu/

Government: strangers you don’t know from Adam who presume to tell you how to live. https://anenemyofthestate.wordpress.com/quotations-from-chairman-zhu/

Governments acquire wealth in two ways. Taxation, which is legalized extortion. And inflation, which is legalized counterfeiting. https://anenemyofthestate.wordpress.com/quotations-from-chairman-zhu/

Governments are populated not by idealists with a mission to help, but by sociopaths with a compulsion to control. https://anenemyofthestate.wordpress.com/quotations-from-chairman-zhu/

Governments cannot exist unless they first commit two crimes, intimidation and extortion. Intimidation is threatening someone with physical harm or physical confinement unless he obeys your commands. Governments refer to their intimidation as “law enforcement”. Extortion is demanding payment for unsolicited “protection” from real or hypothetical threats from other parties. Governments refer to their extortion as “taxation”. The problem with government is that it cannot avoid being anything other than the very evil it promises to protect us from. https://anenemyofthestate.wordpress.com/quotations-from-chairman-zhu/

Gun control is not the control of guns. It is the control of people. It is the control of people who surrender their guns, by the people who collect their guns. https://anenemyofthestate.wordpress.com/quotations-from-chairman-zhu/

Gun control is people control. It is people who have guns controlling people who don’t have them. https://anenemyofthestate.wordpress.com/quotations-from-chairman-zhu/

Gun controllers are people who prove that guns are dangerous in the wrong hands — their own. https://anenemyofthestate.wordpress.com/quotations-from-chairman-zhu/

Gun controllers have no intention of eliminating guns. They merely intend to eliminate your guns. https://anenemyofthestate.wordpress.com/quotations-from-chairman-zhu/

No government will ever protect people from looters, because the government is the looter the people most need protection from. https://anenemyofthestate.wordpress.com/quotations-from-chairman-zhu/

The General Welfare: Welfare for the generals of the Military Industrial Complex. https://anenemyofthestate.wordpress.com/quotations-from-chairman-zhu/

The government is a crime family with a flag. The Social Contract is an offer you can’t refuse. https://anenemyofthestate.wordpress.com/quotations-from-chairman-zhu/

The government will never protect people from monopolies, because the government is the monopolist the people most need protection from. https://anenemyofthestate.wordpress.com/quotations-from-chairman-zhu/

The government will never protect the pubic from evil corporations, because the government is the evil corporation’s subsidiary, whose sole purpose is to enrich the mother company. https://anenemyofthestate.wordpress.com/quotations-from-chairman-zhu/

The problem is not that governments violate human rights. The problem is that government itself is a violation of human rights. https://anenemyofthestate.wordpress.com/quotations-from-chairman-zhu/

The problem is not that gun control will leave us at the mercy of criminals. The problem is that the gun controllers are the criminals. https://anenemyofthestate.wordpress.com/quotations-from-chairman-zhu/

The problem with government is that it cannot avoid being anything other than the very evil it promises to protect us from. https://anenemyofthestate.wordpress.com/quotations-from-chairman-zhu/
