Have not read the graphic novel, not a fan of anarchy, and have not seen the screenplay / movie. This 1984ish quote from Moore did catch my attention.
"Since mankind's dawn, a handful of oppressors have accepted the responsibility over our lives that we should have accepted for ourselves. By doing so, they took our power. By doing nothing, we gave it away. We've seen where their way leads, through camps and wars, towards the slaughterhouse."
