I’ve been thinking a lot about this particular issue of the restoration of the republic. It’s obvious at this point that we don’t have one anymore. It’s also obvious that anyone participating in armed rebellion will face overwhelming force - drones, police surveillance, arrest, infinite detention - the whole nine yards. In fact, I believe that the statists are eager for that outcome, so they can impose their will with the machinery of the state.
So what to do? I know that Ayn Rand was a flaming atheist and all, but her solution was ingenious. They might be able to enslave you, but they can’t make you be productive. Going Galt is the way of fighting back - each individual an army onto him or herself, a fighting force without a leader. One way to fight against overwhelming force is to be an adversary that is both everywhere and nowhere.
If I remember correctly, the general strike was also one of the methods that brought down the communists in Poland.
We’ll have to fight, though. God help us.
