| An individualist is a man who says: “I’ll not run anyone's life—nor let anyone run mine. I will not rule nor be ruled. I will not be a master nor a slave. I will not sacrifice myself to anyone—nor sacrifice anyone to myself.”

| No, she stays clear of the word anarchist. The kindest thing she said about anarcho-capitalists, is that we're the hippies of the right!
BWAHAHAHA!!!

OK. It's just that 'anarchy' means no ruler, so it's implied by that quote.
