PEOPLES OF THE WORLD ALWAYS REMEMBER ~ THE FORCE OF LIBERTY VS. THE VIOLENCE OF OPPRESSION..."SO KEEP FIRM HOLD"

Num quam extra visum, num quam extra mentem.

I have found a friend, freest of Spirits
Born in hard prisons and
abiding their like a sleeping lion
For even in the darkest and crassest times
Liberty trembles in the lines of poets
And affirms itself in the pages of thinkers
And Burns solitary and magnificent
In some men who can not be assimilated
by the world around them.
For Liberty appears as abiding purely
And invincibly and consciously
Only in a few noble spirits.

The Force of Liberty vs. The Violence of Oppression

In the words of the great Italian writer, Benedetto Croce:
"In making an historical judgment it is necessary to keep firm hold of this criterion of distinction between force and violence. The former is liberty or prepares for liberty, while the latter does not work for liberty, unless, indeed, it does so negatively, by exciting liberty's opposite or rousing or resuscitating the thing which liberty wished or believed that she had crushed and extinguished. The most serious sanctions of war, the most vigorous states of siege and similar events show themselves to be intrinsically events of liberty or in the service of liberty, when directed towards vigorous resistance to attacks upon the vital necessities of a people or upon the order of a state, yet restrained from encroachments on the life liberty, or from destruction of its seeds; but rather, indeed, favoring liberty in her recovery and development."

SO ONCE AGAIN...
"If ye love wealth better than liberty,
the tranquility of servitude better
than the animating contest of freedom,
go home from us in peace. We ask
not your counsel or your arms.
Crouch down and lick the hands of those
who feed you. May your chains set
lightly upon you. May posterity forget
that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Force vs. Violence
Forceful Resistance vs. Violent Oppression

When is force acceptable?

Force is acceptable when the will of the oppressed arises
up after so long living under the Violence and the abuse
of Oppressors and their oppressive Violent Henchmen.
Moral Indignation is the gauge of the people for which
a well planed use of acceptable Force becomes….

When is Force necessary?

Force is necessary when the will of the people
is violently opposed by the oppressor. Thus
it becomes necessary in Moral defense to use
force to protect the will of the people against
those who would Violently oppress their will.
Thus the necessary use of Force Becomes…..

When is Force Inevitable?

Force is Inevitable when Violent oppressors without
Caring about the Moral Indignation of the people
And without any Moral Defense of their own continue
to violently oppress the will of the people.
Thus the use of Force becomes Inevitable!
(GLADIATOR ZERO)

Thus...
sadly all over the world they are purging centrist
moderates who have had the temerity to compromise;
thus we've never seen such a vacuum in the center.Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world...
--W. B. Yeats, "The Second Coming"
