As a side note, I don't like the "If voting changed anything they'd make it illegal" point much, because voting has been and is illegal for substantial portions of the population wherever you go.
Voting still changes nothing, and really it is counterproductive to anarchist aims in almost all or all cases. The size of the voting pool just reflects how co-opted the society is into authoritarianism.

The value in quoting emma goldman is it forces them to mass downvote and attack one of their idols' words. It's hilarious.

I think the quote predates Pat by a good fifty years, not sure though.

It's at least as old as 1976. More info at Emma Goldman's wikiquote page: https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Emma_Goldman#Disputed
