July has been a busy month for a lot of our writers: there was the World Cup coverage, AltExpo, Freedom Fest and the Students for Liberty Campus Coordinator’s Retreat all vying for their attention. Yet, even with all that, we were still able to publish twenty-four commentaries and ten original features. C4SS pays the writers that…

If you are a regular donor, then I would like to thank you for your continued enthusiasm and support. If you are interested in supporting our mission…
May has been an interesting month for The Center for a Stateless Society (C4SS). We have added some new features and people to the roster and reached a couple of milestones in our development. If you are a regular donor, then I would like to thank you for your continued enthusiasm and support. If you are…
C4SS has finished another month and we have a lot to talk about. On May first, the new look for our site will turn one. If you don’t remember our original look, enjoy. As with everything at the Center, the new look is the result of amazing work from friends, volunteers and, especially, donors. If…
The Center, C4SS, had a rather interesting 2013, that ended with us having a large sum of money to play with. But our fun will not continue without your help, your continued support and donations. In order to make the case for why you should forgo a cup of coffee every month and donate to…
Karl Jaspers cunhou a expressão “Era Axial” para descrever deslocamento disseminado e fundamental em valores éticos que ocorreu em certo número de sociedades em meados do primeiro milênio antes da era comum – BCE. Incluiu a ascensão da filosofia grega, o budismo, o zoroastrismo e o movimento profético de Judá e Israel. Todos esses desdobramentos…
Download: Destroying the Master’s House With the Master’s Tools: Some Notes on the Libertarian Theory of Ideology Karl Jaspers coined the term “Axial Age” to describe a widespread, fundamental shift in ethical values that occurred in a number of societies in the mid-1st millennium BCE. It included the rise of Greek philosophy, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism and the prophetic movement of…
James Scott descreve o fenômeno geral como “jiujitsu simbólico.” Movimentos proféticos rebeldes em espaços não estatais “apropriam-se de poder, mágica, emblemas e insígnias e carisma institucionais do estado do vale numa espécie de jiujitsu simbólico a fim de atacar o estado.” [145] E o jiujitsu simbólico tem-se tornado especialmente importante nas guerras ideológicas dos séculos 20 e…
Download: Destroying the Master’s House With the Master’s Tools: Some Notes on the Libertarian Theory of Ideology James Scott describes the general phenomenon as “symbolic jiujitsu.” Prophetic rebellious movements in non-state spaces “appropriate the power, magic, regalia, and institutional charisma of the valley state in a kind of symbolic jiujitsu in order to attack it.” [145] And symbolic jiujitsu…
Scott argumenta que a religião popular — ou “catolicismo popular” — da Europa cristã, longe de atender a interesses dos em autoridade/com influência, era praticado e interpretado de maneiras que amiúde defendiam os direitos de propriedade dos camponeses, contestavam grandes diferenças de riqueza, e até proporcionavam algo de ideologia milenária com significado implícito revolucionário. Em…
Download: Destroying the Master’s House With the Master’s Tools: Some Notes on the Libertarian Theory of Ideology Scott argues that the popular religion—or “folk Catholicism”—of Christian Europe, far from serving ruling interests, was practiced and interpreted in ways that often defended peasant property rights, contested large differences in wealth, and even provided something of a millennial ideology with revolutionary import….
Scott porém não vai longe o bastante. Vai longe demais em sublinhar a dependência de ideologias de resistência de conteúdo recuperado de ideologias de dominação, e em seguida negligencia o inverso. Por definição, temos tornado a transcrição pública da dominação ontologicamente anterior à transcrição oculta, invisível à plateia. O resultado de assim fazermos é enfatizar…
Download: Destroying the Master’s House With the Master’s Tools: Some Notes on the Libertarian Theory of Ideology Scott does not go far enough, however. He goes too far in stressing the dependence of ideologies of resistance on recuperated content from ideologies of domination, and then neglects the reverse. By definition, we have made the public transcript of domination ontologically…
Recuando de novo e assumindo visão mais panorâmica, a questão religiosa é parte de fenômeno ainda mais amplo: a recuperação dos símbolos e valores da ideologia legitimizadora da classe dominante, e a inversão da ideologia dominante como arma contra o sistema de poder existente. Quando uma classe dominante cria uma ideologia legitimadora, ela, nessa medida…
Download: Destroying the Master’s House With the Master’s Tools: Some Notes on the Libertarian Theory of Ideology Stepping back again and taking a more panoramic view, the religious case is part of an even larger phenomenon: the recuperation of the symbols and values of the ruling class’s legitimizing ideology, and the inversion of the dominant ideology as a weapon against…
Este paper considera, mais especificamente, a ideologia liberatória ou não estatal como arma contra o poder e a exploração. Como descrito por Scott, a religião zomiana frequentemente abebera-se do mesmo repositório de mitos e de temas culturais que a religião dominante em espaços estatais. Ela, porém, os retoma — em clássico exemplo de “usar as…
Download: Destroying the Master’s House With the Master’s Tools: Some Notes on the Libertarian Theory of Ideology This paper considers, more specifically, liberatory or nonstate ideology as a weapon against power and exploitation. As described by Scott, Zomian religion frequently borrows from the same pool of myths and cultural themes as the dominant religion in state spaces. But it…
A Comunidade Islandesa, assentada desproporcionadamente por pequenos detentores em fuga de crescentes imposições do rei e da nobreza, era uma população zomiana com a qual muitos libertários estão familiarizados. Os assentamentos islandeses descritos nas Sagas tiveram lugar numa época na qual reis da Escandinávia continental “estavam aumentando sua autoridade a expensas dos direitos tradicionais dos…
Download: Destroying the Master’s House With the Master’s Tools: Some Notes on the Libertarian Theory of Ideology [PDF] The Icelandic Commonwealth, settled disproportionately by small holders fleeing the growing impositions of the king and nobility, was a Zomian population many libertarians are familiar with. The Icelandic settlements recounted in the Sagas took place at a time when kings on the Scandinavian mainland “were…
Há algum tempo vem sendo consenso entre historiadores do Israel primevo que a completa conquista de Canaã e os resultantes domínios tribais descritos no Livro de Josué foi anacrônica — uma projeção no passado de um estado de coisas geográfico que só existiu depois que a monarquia havia derrotado os filisteus e a população israelita…
