• Anarchism may be described as the doctrine that all the affairs of men should be managed by individuals or voluntary associations, and that the State should be abolished..... Nor does the Anarchistic scheme furnish any code of morals to be imposed upon the individual. "Mind your own business" is its own moral law. Interference with another's business is a crime and the only crime, and as such may properly be resisted.

  Benjamin Tucker

  "State Socialism and Anarchism: How Far They Agree, and Wherin They Differ" by Benjamin R. Tucker, praxeology.net. March 10, 1888.
