Quotes From Etienne de la Boetie's Politics of Obedience #01
On the subject of Mass Submission
I'm reading Etienne de la Boetie's Politics of Obedience and diving a little deeper into the anarchist, libertarian and agorist ideas... Nothing like reading the works of anarchists from the 1500's!!!!!
I think I may give you a few good quotes from this paper here and there, for now here's a good one on the obedience people have for their governments:
If a hundred, if a thousand endure the
caprice of a single man, should we not rather say that they lack not the courage but the desire to rise against him, and that such an attitude indicates indifference rather than cowardice?
Embrace both your strength and weaknesses as they knitted into one you, and you are knitted together with one another. Like in an ocean of planktons, red fish, dolphins and whales, all are knitted to form the ecosystem. So embrace your own life.
baa baa baaa
