However, the violence of the Marxism of Hitler (National Socialism) was such that it could not have been contained without violence. Can you imagine Mahatma Gandhi doing a fast against Hitler in Germany? The government must seek to perceived in the world as moral in order for non-violence to be workable, according to Gandhiji.
I do like to think that I have provided some moral foundation in my letter writing the past decade to various elected and religious leaders in America to embolden Tea Party and Ron Paul types, and I think this type of activity will prevail over time in an Internet driven world. I read a book here and an article there with a snippet of my case against the IRS, for example, and feel legitimized and prompted to stay within the United States. And so violence becomes less and less a reasonable option while these libertarian groups continue to flourish.
