-- Benjamin Franklin
"The cardinal rule of a closing or closed society is that your alignment with the regime offers no protection; in a true police state no one is safe."
-- Naomi Wolf, Author of "Give Me Liberty'
Do you agree with the above quotations? Perhaps you'd rather have the supposed safety and not mind the missing liberty. And if so that's fine, that's your disposition, your preference. But the key element to a green-anarchist argument that many miss is this: Why should your preference for supposed greater safety override my preference for greater freedom? Why must I agree to a social contract I never signed? There is no principled reason why I should. To say I must pay dues for services I never asked for is tyrannical. This is the despotism of all social systems, including so-called anarcho-communism.
There is risk in freedom. It's safer to never leave your house, but that's equivalent to house-arrest, to prison. Life can be risky, but we take the risk because the possible rewards, namely happiness and satisfying engagement with the world, creativity, others, Nature, etc. is worth going for. Guaranteed mediocrity is worse than possible joy.
So don't accept the belief that you cant be a natural human on the Earth because you were "born into" some country and have to accept the restrictions that some people, calling themselves "officials", made up around that. As free individuals we should respect the freedom of others, dominate no one and live peacefully in harmony with Nature, each other and other species, and the only way to do that is via sovereign zero-waste veganic homesteads, true kingdoms of heaven.
Green Anarchism, and more specifically Veganarchism, liberates all species on Earth from domination and the negative effects that causes. And at a time when we see ecological (and possible economic) collapse, a growing worldwide-surveillance grid & police-state, further unjust exploitation and disparity of wealth, extinction of species, and on and on, it's a perspective and solution who's time has definitely come.
