"Racism is the lowest, most crudely primitive form of collectivism. It is the notion of ascribing moral, social or political significance to a man's genetic lineage—the notion that a man's intellectual and characterological traits are produced and transmitted by his internal body chemistry. Which means, in practice, that a man is to be judged, not by his own character and actions, but by the characters and actions of a collective of ancestors."

["Racism," Return of the Primitive: The Anti-Industrial Revolution, 179.]

"There is only one antidote for racism: the philosophy of individualism and its politico-economic corollary, laissez-faire capitalism."

["Racism," Return of the Primitive: The Anti-Industrial Revolution, 182.]

"Private racism is not a legal, but a moral issue—and can be fought only by private means, such as economic boycott or social ostracism."

["Racism," Return of the Primitive: The Anti-Industrial Revolution, 188.]
