Jim Rutz on Democide

Jim Rutz gave me a tip of the hat in his most recent WorldNetDaily article.

"Hitler murdered 6 million Jews," we often hear. But Hitler didn't dirty his own hands with the deed. Millions of Germans worked to murder millions of other Germans. "I was just following orders."

70 million were murdered under Mao, an extraordinary mass-murderer. But that only means that millions of ordinary Chinese were willing to murder millions of other Chinese.

It's the willingness to "follow orders," the willingness to initiate force against others, that Libertarians must be battling -- in the hearts and minds of millions of people.

This isn't just a political campaign for office that will end on November 7, 2006. This is a campaign for the next step in human "cultural evolution." Human beings must come to believe that it's not OK to be part of "the government."
