We may legitimately infer that this omission indicates a change of view. But to repudiate is not to answer, and Mr. Spencer never answered his arguments for the right to ignore the State. It is the belief of the Anarchists that these arguments are unanswerable."--Preface.

520			_a"The Right to Ignore the State" by Herbert Spencer is a philosophical treatise stemming from his larger work "Social Statics" and was written in the mid-19th century, specifically in the context of the Victorian era. This publication explores themes of individual freedom and critiques the concept of state authority over the individual. The book argues for the right of citizens to abandon or ignore the state, positing that coercion by the government is inherently immoral, and that true freedom entails individuals being able to dissociate from state control without infringing upon the rights of others. In "The Right to Ignore the State," Spencer articulates his ideas through a series of arguments emphasizing the moral implications of government and the rights of individuals. He asserts that citizens possess the innate right to reject government authority and the obligation of taxation that comes with it, equating such obligations to violations of individual freedom. Through examples and logical reasoning, he challenges the legitimacy of majority rule and emphasizes the importance of equal freedom, arguing that any form of coercion contradicts ethical principles. Ultimately, the text serves as a foundational piece advocating for individual liberty and a questioning of the moral authority of the state. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
