Non-Violent Dissent & National Restoration

The Great Madness

Birth of the creature

From the letters of Thomas Jefferson -- A little rebellion, now and then, is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical. . . . It is a medicine necessary for the sound health of government. (To Madison, 1787) The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure. (To Colonel Smith, 1787) What country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. (Ibid.)

The application of this word to aspects of democracy, liberty, anarchy, social revolution and the values of humanity (in the vein of Lewis Mumford) results in many contemporary avenues of philosophical speculation and discourse.

The Ghost ofAnarcho-Syndicalism Objectivism: Index Sites on the philosophy of Objectivism are largely divided into three camps: those which follow the lead of the Ayn Rand Institute, those which support the Institute for Objectivist Studies, and a smaller group which supports The Jefferson School. This web site largely reflects this division. Since there are so many websites devoted to the philosophy of Objectivism, it focuses primarily on the major sites where you should be able to find many more links.
