Benjamin Tucker outlines his reasons for favoring the Allies in World War I in a letter to Labadie on December 23, 1914. He favors the Allies because he pities the Belgian people, admires British liberties, has some concern for America's future, sympathizes with Russia's people, and hates and fears the German people as domineering brutes seeking to impose Prussian control worldwide. While he has other reasons, these capture his main rationale for supporting the Allies in the war.

Dear Labadie; Bool says that you wish to know my reasons for favoring the Allies. I favor the Allies because I pity the Belgian people, because I admire the British influences that make or liberty, because I feel some (tho I regret to say a decreasing) concern for the future of the American people, because I have considerable sympathy or the people of Russia, and because I hate and fear the German people as a nation of domineering brutes bent on turning the whole world into a police-ridden paradise of the Prussian pattern. I have numerous other reasons for favoring the allies, but the above is the main reason and a sufficient one. You see, I don’t love everybody as you and Bool do. My love is limited in quantity, and goes out in special directions. However, much as it is, here’s a goodly share of it for you. Cordially yours, Benj. R.
