Resistance to Civil Government, called Civil Disobedience for short, is an essay by American transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau that was first published in 1849. In it, Thoreau argues that individuals should not permit governments to overrule or atrophy their consciences, and that they have a duty to avoid allowing such acquiescence to enable the government to make them the agents of injustice. Thoreau was motivated in part by his disgust with slavery and the Mexican–American War (1846–1848).

0"Jamás habrá un Estado realmente libre y culto hasta que no reconozca al individuo como un poder superior e independiente, del que se deriven su propio poder y autoridad y le trate a cada individuo con el respeto de un amigo".
Este libro tiene más o menos 170 años y aún sigue tan vigente, qué tristeza.
Sin embargo es ideal de leer en los momentos que estamos pasando como sociedad y país.
0Wow. To those who think that the rise of the anarchists/ minarchists is a new phenomenon, I present... Civil Disobedience. Wherein you read - nearly 170 years ago - most every argument I have heard any anarchist put forward regarding what is right to do where government is concerned. Relatively short at just 33 pages long, a quick but very good read, particularly the front half.
