"Those who have heard or read anything from me on the subject, know that one of the principal points insisted on is, the forming of societies or any other artificial combinations IS the first, greatest, and most fatal mistake ever committed by legislators and by reformers"

Josiah Warren was a 19th century American anarchist and social reformer who believed that the formation of societies or any other synthetic mixes was an error. He argued that these combinations were the very first, biggest, and many deadly error ever committed by legislators and by reformers. Warren believed that these artificial mixes were a kind of injustice and that they restricted private flexibility. He argued that people ought to be totally free to pursue their own interests and that any kind of government or society should be voluntary and based on shared authorization. Warren believed that the only way to attain true liberty and justice was to abolish all kinds of federal government and to allow people to pursue their own interests without disturbance. He argued that any kind of government or society should be voluntary and based on shared approval. Warren's views were influential in the advancement of anarchist idea and his concepts are still appropriate today.
