Facebook: "Many people agree that statism is wrong but think that the "government" and statists are too powerful and many to do anything about. It is more pragmatic to just go with the flow and live your life because fighting it would be dangerous and could cause you to lose friends or even your job. They don't understand the influence one person can have over time just by letting others know how immoral they think it is to condone the monopoly of aggression. You don't have to stand in front of a tank. You don't have to quit paying your alms (taxes.) You don't have to physically rebel. The first and most powerful step is just speak up to your supposed friends to help them understand what is right and wrong. When enough people agree that forced rule is immoral we will begin to find ways around it without bloodshed. Remember, the rulers are human too and as they learn and see that what they are doing is immoral and frowned upon by their subjects, many of them will have a change of heart. But if good people don't learn the importance of morality and speak up, they will never learn. For example, I hear of many former police officers who quit once they realized that they were only hired to carry out the wishes of the ruling class rather than to serve and protect citizens."
