"Patriotism is a kind of religion; it is the egg from which wars are hatched." ~ Guy de Maupassant
Voluntaryist Resistance
Submitted by Carl Watner on Thu, 2004-02-26 04:00
"State legitimacy will only be destroyed when sufficient numbers of people come to view government actions in the same moral light as that of the individual. If this moral leveling is not brought about, if this delegitimization is not accomplished, then violent revolution must inevitably fail, even if it were successful in battle. The destruction of State legitimacy must precede the advent of violent revolution, and when that has occurred, violent revolution will be unnecessary." This essay by Carl Watner (one of my heroes) is probably the best, most important essay I have ever read about voluntaryism and civil disobedience.
