[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 945760, member: 2189"] Professor Sharp is a fascinating individual. Of his many influences, one was the french judge and anarchist Etienne de La Boetie who questioned absolute monarchy and it's tyranny. La Boetie understood that such power only existed because the people themselves acquiesced to this illusion of power and Sharp understood from La Boetie that if people themselves understood they are the power behind the state and then withheld that power, the state would in a moment become powerless. Look at all the many ways the state has to lie to you (Plato's noble lie) or make you believe in some boogey man so it can maintain it's own illusion of relevance. Look at the many ways and areas of life that the state and hierarchy must have and maintain monopoly or else the illusion of power would be shattered into a 1000 pieces like so much cheap glass. Sharp understood this 16th century enlightened thinker and applied it to his non-violent ideas influenced by Gandhi and Thoreau. Non-violence is the hallmark trademark of the non-aggression axiom that condemns force or fraud which is the foundational seedbed on which liberty and voluntary actions are built and why such human movements must be corrupted in order to protect hierarchical power and it's illusions that control people.
