Peter Kropotkin

Ojinaga

“For ages and ages mankind lived without any written law, even that graved in symbols upon the entrance stones of a temple. During that period, human relations were simply regulated by customs, habits and usages, made sacred by constant repetition, and acquired by each person in childhood, exactly as he learned how to obtain his food by hunting, cattle-rearing or agriculture”.

Peter Kropotkin, Law and Authority

“Land ownership is theft – from all the rest of us! – but is declared ‘legal’ and the state can therefore ‘legitimately’ use violence to protect that theft”.

Authority, Paul Cudenec, property, The Stifled Soul of Humankind

Judges

“Property and Authority are legitimate in terms of Law. Law is established by Authority. Authority is built on and resourced by Property. Property is secured and protected by Law which, with the blessing of Authority, also threatens or deploys violence against anyone wicked and rebellious enough to challenge the whole scam. There is a name given to this tangled knotwork of theft and lies which protects and perpetuates the criminal behaviour of what is currently the ruling elite. We call it the State”.

Paul Cudenec, The Stifled Soul of Humankind

Forms of Freedom, Paul Cudenec

formsoffreedomcover

“The pieces of paper claiming ‘ownership’ of parts of the planet are legitimised by laws, authorities and states. The violence used to maintain their theft is thus also legitimised and miraculously ceases to be violence. It is now upholding the law. Protecting order. Morality is reversed to the extent that anyone resisting the violence of the thieves is themselves regarded as a violent criminal”.

anarchism, Leo Tolstoy

leo-tolstoy

“Laws are rules, made by people who govern by means of organized violence, for non-compliance with which the non-complier is subjected to blows, to loss of liberty, or even to being murdered”.

The Acorn: winter oak

Reversing out of global tyranny

by Paul Cudenec The root cause of our separation lies in the power which has been accumulated by a criminal ruling clique. The classic form taken by this violent and thieving entity is the state, but it uses other guises. When states expand they become empires. When an empire has expanded to embrace everything, everywhere, […]
