New Post at TCTL: All Governments Are Illegitimate Authorities
Etienne de la Boetie² on All Governments Being Illegitimate Authorities
by Jeremy Nell
Etienne de la Boetie2 (with a squared sign and, no, it isn’t his real name) has written extensively on why all governments are illegitimate authorities.
His alias is a play on the real Etienne de La Boétie, who was a French writer and philosopher who lived during the 16th century, best known for his essay titled Discourse On Voluntary Servitude in which he questioned why people willingly submit to oppressive rulers and argued that it is through voluntary obedience that tyrants are able to maintain their power.
Etienne (with a squared sign) makes the chaos for anarchism, which is a philosophy that advocates for a society without hierarchical authority or rulers.
It does not mean chaos because it emphasises voluntary cooperation, mutual aid, and decentralised decision-making.
