Topic: Sometimes Violence is the answer

Violence in the Face of Tyranny is Often Necessary

Non-aggression methods rely on very specific circumstances in order to be effective. Most of all, they rely on a system of government that is forced to at least PRETEND as if it cares what the masses think of it. Gandhi's Indian Independence Movement, for example, only witnessed noticeable success because the British government at that time was required to present a semblance of dignity and rule of law. But what happens if a particular tyranny reaches a point where the facade of benevolence disappears? What happens when the establishment turns to the use of the purge as a tool for consolidation? What happens when the mask comes completely off?....

The escalation of totalitarianism will eventually overtake the speed at which the movement can awaken the masses, if it has not done so already. There will come a time, probably sooner rather than later, when outreach will no longer be effective, and self defense will have to take precedence, even if that means subsections of the public will be shocked and disturbed by it. The sad fact is, the faster we wake people up, the faster the establishment will degrade social stability and destroy constitutional liberties. A physical fight is inevitable exactly because they MAKE it inevitable. Worrying about staying in the good graces of the general populace or getting honest representatives elected is, at a certain point, meaningless. I find it rather foolish to presume that Americans over the next decade or two or three have the time needed to somehow inoculate the system from within. ...

the idea that a movement needs a “majority” of public backing to shift the path of a society is an old wives tale. Ultimately, most people throughout history are nothing more than spectators in life, watching from the sidelines while smaller, ideologically dedicated groups battle for superiority. Global developments are decided by true believers; never by ineffectual gawkers. Some of these groups are honorable, and some of them are not so honorable. Almost all of them have been in the minority, yet they wield the power to change the destiny of the whole of the nation because most people do not participate in their own futures. They merely place their heads between their legs and wait for the storm to pass.

I'm not sure why non-aggression champions see the argument of statistical chance as relevant. When all is said and done, the “odds” of success in any fight against oligarchy DO NOT MATTER. Either you fight, or you are enslaved. The question of victory is an afterthought...

The Liberty Movement doesn't need to agree on the “usefulness” of physical action because it is coming regardless. The only things left to discern are when and how. Make no mistake, one day each and every one of us will be faced with a choice – to fight, or to throw our hands in the air and pray they don't shoot us anyway. I certainly can't speak for the rest of the movement, but in my opinion only those who truly believe in liberty will stand with rifle in hand when that time comes. A freedom fighter is measured by how much of himself he is willing to sacrifice, and how much of his humanity he holds onto in the process. Fear, death, discomfort; none of this matters. There is no conundrum. There is no uncertainty. There are only the chains of self-defeat, or the determination of the gun. The sooner we all embrace this simple fact, the sooner we can move on and deal with the dark problem before us.

Emphasis Mine. The more people who understand this, the more people we will have ready and prepared to fight, not just physically, but mentally and spiritually.
We have something we MUST fight for - and the price for failure is being killed or enslaved.   What, really  is the Lefty Govt goon fighting for? What will motivate him? What reward is he after, and will it make him fight as hard?

The Left has ignored Sun Tzu's advice  and have given their enemy no path  of escape. We will fight all the fiercer for it.

I am willing to die for my country, but not for my government.

They are brave and callous with the lives of others, yet the architects of statism will wet their pants and run like frightened rats when cornered.

They know not what they are about to unleash...let the reaping begin.

My concern is that they're going to unleash WMDs. It's part of their misanthropic fantasy anyway. But, that's no reason to shy away from giving resistance when the time comes. As the article points out, their aim is to enslave humanity regardless. You have to resist, whether your odds are 50/50 or 99/1.

My concern as well, their actions leave little choice to lovers of liberty but to prepare and resist...they will not give up their dreams of absolute and total control, so the math in their twisted minds would conclude that ruling 100 million is still better than ruling none...so I can see these evil bastards unleashing WMDs.

I will resist even if I am alone.
