Secession: Are We Free To Go?

- Ron Paul -

Are States free to leave a Union/Association that tyrannizes its people? Yes, based on the abuse of individual rights.

Yet Ron Paul, and others (Rockwell, Judge Napalitano), show amazing confusion on the issue. Paul has argued that the South of 1860 had such a right of secession, even though the North showned no such tyranny, and even though the South was the abuser of individual rights via slavery. Clearly, a state has no right of secession if the goal is the preservation of the abuse of individual rights. So, again, a state cannot morally seceede from a union if the goal of that secession is to cement enslavement of people under that state's control.

Another problem: if Ron Paul is arguing secession based on whim then elements (counties, cities, neighborhoods, individuals) within that state may also logicaly secede -- everything devolving into anarchy. If anarchy is Ron Paul's real agenda then his ideas of secession will bring that about.
