Time for Secession?
http://secession.net
Principles - Goals - Strategies
At least 5,000 ethnic, linguistic and racial groups are lumped
together into only 189 nation states. Most of the world's violent conflicts
are related to struggles for dominance within or independence from some large,
multi-national nation state. A large portion of the world
Secession is the ideology of Neo-Confederates. It is also one of the strategies adopted by Nazis trying to rebuild their legitamicy and influence after WWII. (See Martin Lee's *The Beast Reawakens*.) If you think that corporations make puppets out of national states, just think how powerless subnational governments would be. Our strength lies in precisely the opposite direction--not by splitting ourselves into thousands of fragments divided by differences from the past, but by uniting ourselves into a single, inclusive force that has respect for and love of diversity built into its very core. That's what we just saw in Quebec, even more than ever before. That is our future.
If you are interested in West Coast secession/separation, I WANT TO ANNOUNCE THAT THERE IS A YAHOO GROUP YOU SHOULD ALL JOIN!!! It is called SavePac and the website is http://groups.yahoo.com/group/savepac/. On the site we have been talking about the process of secession, local issues and news, policy unification of the west coast, and political philosophy. Right now I am trying to encourage a discussion about what "power" means in Pacifica (The states and provinces of Alaska, Yukon, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, a region called Jefferson, and California). The groups functions mostly as a news and networking group, but writing/posting a constitution or a manifesto on the website is no problem. In fact, it is encouraged. SavePac Yahoo groups will likely adopt an ecoregional/bioregional concept.
Check out the website and I look forward to hearing from you all.
Sincerely,
Collin S. Ferguson
It out the West Coast is all on its own with lots of kooks like you.
