Since I favor total self-control—absolute government of the individual over himself—I believe autarchy more accurately describes, in a positive fashion, the kind of situation I consider most desirable.

Quote in Autarchy Versus Anarchy by Robert LeFevre, Rampart Journal of Individualist Thought, Vol. 1, No. 4 (Winter, 1965): 30–49.
