Many of those who have had the "luck" of living under a dictatorship, the nature of power is presented as a matter of the most interesting. Where does it come from? How to avoid their large concentrations? How can I resist? These are some of the questions we ask those who have not succumbed to the coercion and outright own indoctrination systems that require a growing crop of our freedoms. Questions whose answers, taken seriously by a critical mass of individuals, have the potential to free us from tyranny.
These same questions attempts to answer the philosopher, activist and American Gene Sharp writer in his thesis of "nonviolent resistance". This method of fighting, which has also been called "political jiu-jitsu", is based on no confrontation of the repressive forces, and calls for cohesion and organization of civil society around the ideas of justice and freedom. As for the ways you can take nonviolent struggle, the own Sharp 197 lists methods of resistance that would fall within this definition, creativity and recommended to those who want to implement it to find new ways to apply it.
To understand a little more about the concept of "non - violence" (translation from Sanskrit word "ahimsa"), it is important to emphasize that this differs from "non - violence" that is not limited to a passive denial of the use of violence but extends to embrace the radical respect for life- and therefore non - cooperation, even passive, with whom life - threatening, abstaining from violent confrontation -for consider it a land where the state has convenience, and that sooner or later all institutional coercion is counterproductive for represores- , and stoic resistance against the abuse of the authority concerned.
In addition, this thesis holds that the ostracism of those who contribute to the legitimacy and stability of the dictatorship is a fundamental part of the exercise of genuine resistance. So commonly it has to reject the leadership of political parties and organizations still call themselves "opposition" show submission or affinity to it. the organization recommends instead about social institutions and trust groups to coordinate actions.
In this connection, Bitcoin is shown as an excellent alternative means of resistance. Not only because of the facilities offered as a means of exchange, but mainly by the way can help people combat dependency and control which authoritarianism is served .
Undoubtedly, the spirit of Bitcoin is akin to the approach of the thesis makes Sharp "From Dictatorship to Democracy" (among other works) and the teachings of other exponents of nonviolent struggle as Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., among others. This affinity is evident in the use of Bitcoin for the benefit of the actions of resistance to coercive power, and the realization that nonviolence also serves the self-defense of Bitcoin, both against attacks from dictatorial regimes as before abuses that may occur within democratic systems.
Nonviolent action may be the best way to defend against Bitcoinlandia who fear or do not understand the libertarian nature of the protocol, or the principles and benefits of free markets. It may be the best way to vindicate the freedom we are trying to recover using this currency, and oppose attempts to concentrate power around an elite.
We must not forget that Bitcoin itself was founded by a non-violent act of rebellion against the privileges granted to banking, Inflationism and monopoly of issuing currency, and that its mere existence is a challenge to the authority and proof that the power is not intrinsic to men or institutions, but derives from the obedience of those who are trying to subdue. When you do not leave, the tyrant loses all power.
