NOTE: The Voluntaryist has a typo on Mr. Ken Knudson's name. The correct spelling is with an 'o.'The final article in Issue 6 was written by Ken Knudson and is titled “Revolution: The Road to Freedom?”
This article continues exploring the idea of using violent means to achieve a peaceful end and the futility of such an effort. The article contains good commentary on the historical effects of violence as well as discussing the tendency of communistic anarchists to use violence and why he thinks this is the case and much more.
The only thing I really want to point out specifically in this article is a quote I found particularly juicy:
"Paper constitutions might work alright in a society of paper dolls, but they can only bring smiles to those who have observed their results in the real world."
Isn’t that great? I just love quotes that use good imagery to make the point. I like it so much that I thought it would be fun to do an experiment of sorts.
I hardly ever post quotes on facebook but once in a while I see one like this that is short and makes great use of imagery to help hammer down the point. Some quotes just strike me as facebook (and/or twitter) quotes and this is one of them.
So I’m going to do an experiment of sorts and put it on my facebook page and see if anything interesting happens.
If you like the quote and you also have a facebook and/or twitter page, then please do the same and let us know if anything particularly interesting happens.

Liked that. I had to cut it down a little to fit in Twitter but here it is.
Right now, I have 4 "likes" on facebook and I know at least three people, including you Joe, passed it on.
