appears to be a clear and even extreme instance of that discrimination between different individuals which seems to me to be incompatible with the reign of liberty. The essence of what I said was really the fact that the laws under which government can use coercion are equal for all responsible adult members of that society. Any kind of discrimination ā be it on grounds of religion, political opinion, race, or whatever it is ā seems to be incompatible with the idea of freedom under the law. Experience has shown that separate never is equal and cannot be equal. (en) |
