Michael Walzer quotes

According to liberal political theory, as first formulated by John Locke, any individual citizen, oppressed by the rulers of the state, has a right to disobey their commands, break their laws, even rebel and seek to replace the rulers and change the laws. (Michael Walzer)
Disobedience, when it is not criminally but morally, religiously, or politically motivated, is almost always a collective act, and it is justified by the values of the collectivity and the mutual engagements of its members. View quote
Michael Walzer
The state is invisible...(it) needs to be symbolised before it can be loved. View quote
