Secession from Tyranny and Statism

As I've laid the foundation for in the previous article, the argument for secession is one that, like so many others these days, is truly an argument for not-so-common—common sense. The fundamental point that must be considered is whether numerous small states, or sovereign conglomerates of humanity, are better suited to providing a higher quality of life for the consenting body, or singular centralized nation states. Is decentralization or centralization of authority more conducive to a healthy, content, and productive humanity?

Here's a good listen to launch from…

The only arguments against secession consistently refer to a few points. Firstly, that it is illegal/not allowed. Secondly, that secession would lead to a breakdown of society and general chaos. Thirdly, that the USA is the greatest nation to ever exist and secession would cause that greatness to fade.

So let's respond to these arguments succinctly using common sense. What is legal or illegal is reference only to legislative law. Legislative law is the “laws” that are created by legislature. In other words, legality is the domain of whatever current government exists. In Nazi Germany in 1942, it was illegal to harbor Jews or Romani from the Gestapo. Does it make it right or wrong simply because the current government declared it legal or illegal? Obviously it does not. I'm not speaking in terms of morality or ethics either, as these change with social attitude. In 1860, it was perfectly acceptable to hang horse thieves. The morality of the time was clearly favorable to this. Do we hang car thieves today? No. Morality does not determine right and wrong, just what is right and wrong for those concerned. So the legality of secession is a non-point. It is an empty claim that bears no weight. If our current government psychopaths decided to vote in a law that banned ownership of dogs, would that be right simply because they decided so? No.

The second aspect of the claim that it is illegal is that somehow it is not allowed. Who then is it that is not allowing it? How did they come to have the authority to not allow it? The answer is obvious again. The current government decided that they would use force and coercion to prevent smaller sovereign entities from separating from the yoke of their control. It is the threat of force alone that is preventing and has prevented the separation. Is that true authority? If the only way the current psychos can prevent secession is to send their armies of slaves to fight for them, is that the bottom line? Is that the only true expression of authority? The ability to conquer and enslave?

As I've spoken on many times before, the oldest slave laws were built on the principle that if one could not maintain and secure their freedom by preventing their capture and enslavement, they were deemed unworthy to have freedom. That is the same principle in play here. Either stop us by force or we will continue to enslave you. This is the legislative authority, the government authority. It is real only in as much as it can be shoved down the throats of the individuals of a society. Nothing exists that disallows a smaller part of a society from breaking away to form its own more perfect union, except the illusion of moral superiority and threat of violence from current government. Reminds one of the British landing troops in the colonies after the colonial Congress declared (illegally) the separation from the motherland. No authority existed to prevent the separation except the rifle and the blood of willing (or not so willing) thugs of tyranny.

A Right is inherant and eternal. It is granted by God and nature without discrimination. Humanity is Free until it surrenders itself by consent to be governed. When that consent is removed, bullies will attempt to force consent. When the people are unshakable and immune to the bully, anything can happen. When the bully dominates the playground, nothing is possible except fear of retribution.

Secession or the existence of a multitude of small states is not new. As Ryan discusses in the podcast below, the vast majority of human history has existed in the realm of small communities. Gargantuan nations like the United States, Russia, India, China, and even those the size of Italy, France, all the way down to little nations like Kuwait or Guatemala would seem like vast nations to the majority of history. Small States, which is the true term for a sovereign nation, have existed next to small states for millenia. Chaos was not the outcome. In fact, small states have been relatively more successful throughout history simply because a small state can care more intimately and personally for its populace. It has to be more attentive to the needs and demands of that populace. Governments of small States must be representiave of the will of the people or the people will migrate to more enlightened neighbors. Free will cannot be constrained when there is a multitude of choices of emigration.

Why would a multitude of small States bring about chaos when large states do not? What would change? Is it simply because what was the United States of America would now be the neighboring States of America? Would Virginia suddenly be at odds with North Carolina? Would Texas and California suddenly go to war? Why? How? What profit would exist for the people of either? And being that the smaller the state the more responsive to the people the government would have to be, how likely would it be that States would succeed in sending their young men into battle for nought but petty reasons. Some historically ignorant people today, which is most of the population I would contend, might believe that the Civil War was fought over slavery. It was definitively not. The question of slavery was a byproduct, an afterthought. The seceeding States fought to protect their Constitutional Rights. The Rights referred to slavery, but the deeper context was the sovereignty of independent groups of people who shared an alternative and unrepresented perspective from that of the government of the time. They had legitimate claims that, just like the colonies, fell on deaf ears until there was nothing left to do but separate, as was their Right. The idea that legislative law can overrule a separation from an unrepresentative government is utterly baseless and ridiculous. It is the house slaves helping the masters keep the other slaves in line. It is beyond delusional and beyond corrupt. It is evil.

“The right of self-determination in regard to the question of membership in a state thus means: whenever the inhabitants of a particular territory, whether it be a single village, a whole district, or a series of adjacent districts, make it known, by a freely conducted plebiscite, that they no longer wish to remain united to the state to which they belong at the time, but wish either to form an independent state or to attach themselves to some other state, their wishes are to be respected and complied with. This is the only feasible and effective way of preventing revolutions and civil and international wars.”
Ludwig von Mises, Liberalism, p. 109

The idea that the USA is the greatest nation to ever exist is retarded. In principle and in theory the USA could have been the greatest nation to ever exist, when it was simply a bunch of colonists who threw off the yoke of tyranny. When they decided to create a centralized authority, they lost that greatness. We are the living testimony to the failure of the attempt by some great men to create a land of liberty. It was corrupted at the outset by those who, like our politicians and plutocrats today, crave power and use force and coercion to bolster their authority over a body of people who otherwise would conduct their business as they see fit.

The USA is a fiction, upheld by violence and oppression. Democracy is tyranny by attrition, and even republicanism is a doomed enterprise in the long term. Only voluntary association can produce real Freedom.

Let the USA fade. It is dead already, and has been for a long time. We live in a rotting corpse. The moment we realize this, and do something about it, is the moment we rise up toward greatness.

As promised in the first Secession Article, here is my version of a Declaration of Secession that we could use today, from individuals to States:

Supreme Law has eternally been the domain of God and nature alone. Every man is born, lives and dies under the authority of this Supreme Law, for which there is no Terran equivalent. It is the sovereign Right of man to choose for himself the nature of his existence, and it is his burden to bear the responsibility of the choices he makes. As no man or group of men may determine for another the course he must take or the life he must choose, it is the ultimate expression of freedom that every man be free to conduct a life exempt from any government or to form a government with others in fraternity and friendship. All men are born sovereign and are such for the entirety of their lives.

I am henceforth without any government except for that of my own conscience. I am a citizen of no nation. I have every Right under God and nature.

It's short and straight to the point. What do you think? Anything to add or change? If you were to declare secession, how would you do it?

It is time to shatter the false image, the illusion of centralized authority and to rise like lions, stand our ground, draw lines in the sand, and be willing to die for our principles and our progeny on the battlefield.
