Colin Ward Reader...

 Why do people consent to be governed? It isn't only fear: what have millions of people to fear from a small group of politicians? It is because they subscribe to the same values as their governors. Rulers and ruled alike believe in the principle of authority, of hierarchy, of power. These are the characteristics of the political principle. The anarchists, who have always distinguished between the state and society, adhere to the social principle, which can be seen wherever men link themselves in an association based on a common need or a common interest.

Colin Ward said: An anarchist society, a society that organizes itself without authority , is always in existence... buried under the weight of the state and its bureaucracy, capitalism and its waste, privilege, religous differences, nationalism and its suicidal loyalties, religious differences and their superstitious seperatism.
