2. On Violence





11/30/23
From The Castra

      Violence is the unifying principle fundamental to all life on earth. The concept of violence is as elemental as the atomic nature of being and proceeds from the moment a stationary object wages war on the material space around it by movement. The very act of life is violent. As organisms become more complex, so too does violence. In the animal kingdom, war is the highest consuetude that governs every living act.   

The question is not whether violence is good or evil, that question itself is futile. Whether violence is good or bad, violence is and it will remain to be.

Across the vast epigraphy of history, from slave revolts and conquests to hunger strikes and protests, violence has been the substrata whose use has produced the conclusion and commencement of each epoch. It is violence which has given people permission to live as they do through each successive episode of the human tale.

In the era of federalism, it is violence whose monopolization has created a world-condition where humanity is confined its weakest position, with the legions subdued by the few.

Violence is the distillate of potestas (power) and begets imperium (sovereignty). Violence and the potentiality to violence dictates all hierarchies and dynamics, whether it manifest as respect, fear, compassion, or rivalry.

The need to regain violence is essential for the liberation of mankind. The emanicipation from violence is the fundament of subjugation, the castration of an essential element of nature without which leaves us existentially destitute.
