Woh!  What is up with that title.  I know we have a lot of strong political views in Permaculture.  And of all stripes, liberals, conservatives and a lot of libertarians.  And many who have been in the movement a very long time are quite proud of what ever political stripe they have. So does this question make sense?  I think that it does, and I think it leads many to start practicing anarchism without even knowing it or realizing it.

Sadly a component of the “sovereign citizen movement” have actually ruined the word, “sovereign citizen”.  While many in the movement are peaceful and tend to operate via turning the state unto itself via the courts, enough idiots have committed acts of violence under the phrase to widely ruin what it was supposed to mean. However, as so often is the case that which is ruined often leads to that which is better.  In this case I think the term “sovereign human” is a much better term.  Citizen denotes a state, and a state denotes control.  But no matter our state … Continue reading →
