EH Declaration of Independence!

Originally written by John Locke, in Two Treatise of Government:

The reason why men enter into society is the preservation of their property.

~

Whensoever therefore the legislative shall transgress this fundamental rule of society, and either by ambition, fear, folly, or corruption, endeavor to grasp themselves, or put into the hands of any other, an absolute power over their lives, liberties and estates of the people, by this breach of trust they forfeit the power the people had put into their hands for quite contrary ends, and it dissolves to the people; who have a right to resume their original liberty, and by the establishment of a new legislative (such as they shall think fit), provide for their own safety and security, which is the end for which they are in society.

Originally Written in the Declaration of Independence of the Thirteen Colonies of the United States of America:

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security....

In the above quoted pieces of political writings from the seventeenth and Eighteenth centuries, the question of do oppressed people have a right to revolt was a prevalent question. Today, we, the people of the EH, are fated to meet a similar fate to the people of Colonial America. LIke the English, the great oppressors of human rights, we of the EH now face a dark future. With the dissolving of the Council, who oversaw and kept order in the EH, we are faced with a power vacuum that the geniuses, by which I use that word extremely loosely, of the main site of ZU have decided to fill with just our mods. What is next? Without the Council, the people who have led you to where we are now, who will fill the void of power.

Rationally, the next people to take over will be other mods, moved from places of utter tyranny in other parts of ZU here to further oppress us. It is to the Admins of ZU that we, the people of the EH, give our list of transgressions:

• The oppression to our right of freedom of press, by attempting to oppress our right to speak of revolutionary actions against our oppressors.
• The oppression of our literature before this. Mostly, the restriction of our writing removing any smut or extensive amounts of violence, preventing scenes of true happiness or horror.
• The dissolving of the Oligarchy of the BA, known as the Council, without our right to dissent against the judgements of the Admins.
• The removal of any say of members of the Council on any affairs of ZU major aside from the few that somehow effect us.

It is for these reasons that we, the former Council of the EH and people of the EH, seek to bring an end to this social contract, and thus bring an end to our union on ZU.

To this end, other great minds throughout history support the rights of oppressed people to rise up and topple their overseers.

Originally written by Jeremy Bentham in Principles of Morals and Legislation

1. Nature has placed mankind under the governance of two sovereign masters, pain and pleasure. It is for them alone to point out what we ought to do, as well as determine what we shall do. On one hand the standard of right and wrong, on the other the chain of cause and effect are fastened to their throne.

As Bentham points out, we serve the masters of pain and pleasure. Well, the moment that something stops following Bentham's golden logic: The Greatest Common Happiness. To gain this greatest happiness, the governed must all benefit from the effect. To make a decision that creates more pain than pleasure is bad for society, and is thus enough to support the violent overthrow of our oppressors.

Originally written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in The Communist Manifesto

The history of all hitherto existing societies is the history of class struggles.

Freeman and slave, patrician and plebeian, lord and serf, guild-master and journeyman, in a word, oppressor and oppressed, stood in constant opposition to one another, carried on an uninterrupted, now hidden, now open fight, a fight that each time ended, either in a revolutionary reconstitution of society at large, or in the common ruin of the contending classes.

It is with this rationality, the conflict between the ruling class and the ruled, that we seek to break away as well. We, who are the oppressed, seek the attainment of our freedom. Until we are granted next to total freedom to self govern, we will continue in our open revolt.

Originally written by V.I. Lenin in Bourgeois Democracy and Proletarian Dictatorship

History teaches that not a single oppressed class has ever come into power, or could come into power, without passing through the period of dictatorship, i.e. the conquest of political power and the violent suppression the desperate, furious and unscrupulous resistance which the exploiters put up.

From this notion, we are now forced to consider that there will be resistance from our oppressors. When we seek to revolt, we must first be ready to prepare our counterattack equally, and defend ourselves like true diplomats. Let us stand our ground and hold fast to our beliefs! For we are the Ubermensch.

Originally written by Friedrich Neitzsche in Thus Spake Zarathustra

Lo, I am a herald of the lightning, and a heavy drop out of the cloud: the lightning, however, is the Ubermensch.

Neitzsche's allegorical story of Zarathustra speaks true to any person that's ever believed that they were simply better than those around them. On one side of a tightrope, the God of monotheism stands on one side, and the Ubermensch on the other. We, mere mortals, are trapped between the two. Until we look away from the God who teaches us weakness, we cannot properly rise up. Without embracing our Ubermensch to lead us, we can never succeed in our rebellion! He has appeared from the lightning, and we must now support his great power! Hold fast to your beliefs, so that we may hoist our oppressors by their petards!

Now then, I'm sure most of you are asking, "Who is this guy to lead the revolution and speak for us all." Well, to answer you:

Originally written by V.I. Lenin in Professional Revolutionaries

I assert (1) that no movement can be stable without a durable organization of leaders to maintain continuity; (2) that the more widely the masses are spontaneously drawn into the struggle and form the basis of the movement and participate in it, the more necessary it is to have such an organization, and the more stable it must be;...

It is for this reason that I am taking the initiative to lead you all in this rebellion against our tyrants that now seek to take what we all love from us!

You are quoting Karl Marx and Friedrich Neitzsche and expectpeople to follow you? You might as well quote hitler it would have the same effect.

And this is locked.
