The precise course by which humanity might achieve liberation from coercive systems remains obscured on the distant horizon, shrouded in uncertainty. Yet, we at Truth Against Power are resolute in our commitment to charting that path.
Pacifism, as a philosophy, seeks to avoid violence at all costs. Among those aligned with the anti-state movement, there exists a spectrum of pacifist beliefs, ranging from absolute nonviolence to conditional restraint. We hold such views in high regard, applauding the conviction and discipline of those who embrace them. However, Truth Against Power is not pacifist.
Nature herself demonstrates that creatures must be equipped to defend themselves. Lions are born with claws; rams develop horns. Humanity, too, has cultivated tools for its defense, capable even of razing entire cities. We believe that each individual possesses the natural right to protect life, property, liberty, and justice by whatever means are necessary. This right is inherent and should not be curtailed by fear of retribution or the dictates of authority.
Let there be no confusion: we have no interest in replacing one government with another. Ours is not a political movement in the traditional sense, for our aim is not to ascend to power or to anoint new rulers. Rather, it is to dismantle the very structures of authority, to eliminate every seat of dominion, whether it be occupied or not.
Yet, in the interest of safeguarding ourselves and others, we make it unequivocally clear that Truth Against Power does not encourage or direct individuals to engage in violence. We neither condone acts of indiscriminate violence nor direct others to pursue violent means. None associated with this platform will ever directives or provide instructions for violent action.
Instead, our focus lies on education—the cornerstone of true liberation. Our immediate mission is to expose the illusions of state authority and to awaken those who have been misled into submission. In time, we will invite collaboration and ideas from those who share our vision, soliciting actionable strategies to bring about meaningful change.
We are committed to the long game. Change on this scale requires patience, persistence, and clarity of purpose. For now, our priority is to enlighten and empower, to erode the foundation of coercion through understanding and truth. Together, we believe that a future free of imposed authority is not merely possible—it is inevitable.
