Catholic Anarchism

Although of the left wing variety, Dorothy Day makes some good points here:

"As to government proceeding from sin, St. Augustine distinguishes between coercive government and directive government. The former he says is the results of sin. The latter is not, as (the human person) is a social being. It could be said that anarchists advocate directive government (mutualaid) but reject coercive government (the State)."

Hat tip to Tom Woods.
