RE: Rise of the Lovertarians: A Return to Peaceful Resistance
Sterlin Luxan, how do you define "peaceful resistance"? To me, resistance implies some form of defensive force. To not use defensive force (or defensive violence, assuming you conflate "violence" with "force" in this case) implies non-resistance (or am I misunderstanding?).
The strategy this article appears to be advocating is "civil disobedience paired with peaceful non-resistance."
Am I misunderstanding you?
The strategy is correct, sir. Resistance does not imply use of force. It just means using various nonviolent techniques to curb government abuses and hopefully thwart government altogether. I mentioned this idea by invoking Ghandi's concept of Satyagraha, which involves demonstrating without using violence or initiating violence.
