Yes, I know, that makes you smile, for you don't want to know that you are capable of governing yourselves by yourselves, you don't want to hear about it, you state with your dying breath that it is impossible, because you are too afraid of respecting each other. Yet you feel the injustices that your governments do to you every day, and you know that they themselves are governed by a handful of individuals. If you were convinced of that, you would perhaps get the idea of governing yourselves by your own laws, and perhaps you would know how to do without governments. Freedom is experienced individually, said the Euguelionne. It is not a feeling experienced in groups.
Liberation can be a collective affair.
Liberation presupposes a recent slavery. It is an accidental running over of freedom. But freedom doesn't presuppose slavery. You have put collectivities before individuals and you have piled the latter up in the former, and you have made collectivities out of extinct, walled-in, outlawed, parched, deserted individuals. You have put a handful of individuals over these collectivities and you have created the privileged.
