Anyway you slice it, disobedience of the state's many violent rules, mandates, and "policies," always carries with it the risk of being violated. Political action does not magically change this. While the libertarian message may be spread to a wider audience via political campaigns, political crusading is ultimately a waste of resources, money, and precious time, as, ultimately, disobedience will be necessary to end the state either way. Politics provides a blanket of false security. Politically demanding freedom, does not magically make the enemy sympathetic to our cause. Even if every individual decided that the state was unnecessary, and voted for its dissolution, the guns of the state would still be pointed at those dissenters. Even if they are a majority. We may as well skip the political masturbation and realize that whether we take political action or not, the state remains intrinsically violent, through and through, and will still take violent measures to stop individuals from living freely as individual self-owners.
