"But this is not to say that the society which inflicts capital punishment commits murder." ― Benjamin Tucker Topic(s): Society More From Benjamin Tucker "Socialism, on the contrary, extends its function to the description of society as it should be, and the discovery of the means of making it what it should be." "I insist that there is nothing sacred in the life of an invader, and there is no valid principle of human society that forbids the invaded to protect themselves in whatever way they can." "Marx, as we have seen, solved it by declaring capital to be a different thing from product, and maintaining that it belonged to society and should be seized by society and employed for the benefit of all alike." More In Society "The human being is in the most literal sense a political animal, not merely a gregarious animal, but an animal which can individuate itself only in the midst of society."― Karl Marx "A free society is one where it is safe to be unpopular."― Adlai E. Stevenson "Of course, sometimes when you write personally, you are also writing about society, obliquely reflecting topical issues, but not in a way that people would expect you to or in the way that someone trying to make a point would."― Suzanne Vega
