Abstract

„The mystery of freedom is nothing but the courage to face death. The attacker always has the right and the duty to defend himself. Yielding to aggression or blackmail means accepting slavery, justified circumstances are just pretexts, excuses or tricks of mischief. Blackmail, along with foundry, is the most heinous, repulsive iniquity. To agree with him is the same as to approve him, to spread him. If you want to be free, you must not be afraid of death! The bow, the worship, the immediate capitulation risk without fail to increase the demands of the opponent, giving him a surplus of energy and courage. Bowing always means the first step on the path to perfect enslavement. Slavery involves not only the blackmail with which the regime indulges, but also the acceptance of this blackmail, as an inexorable fact of fate. By not resisting in time, man gradually becomes incapable of ever resisting again. This process ends by contaminating others with this attitude. Even if the blackmail will not be repeated, which is unlikely, given that it tends to become a habit, the one who gives in remains in danger, in conditions of receptivity, sensitized forever, because in him too cowardice becomes a rule of behavior. and a conditioned reflex. One surrender is enough to inoculate him and from that moment he remains a virtual slave”. (Nicu Steinhardt)
