Secession.net is an organization committed to promote libertarian and non-violent secession worldwide
INTRODUCTION
Al menos 5 mil grupos raciales, étnicos, lingüísticos o culturales están amontonados en sólo 189 estados-nacionales. Muchos conflictos violentos en el mundo, la mayoría, tienen que ver con el dominio de una región por parte de un estado más grande, nacional o multinacional, y con el deseo de algunos, o de muchos, de independizarse de ese estado más grande. Un gran porcentaje de la población mundial (en especial, en las pobladísimas China, India, Indonesia y África) se separaría de sus estados nacionales si tuvieran la oportunidad.
Millones de activistas en todo el mundo el mundo están comprometidos con movimientos secesionistas de carácter nacional, ethnic, religious or territorial, and use words such as: self-determination, independence, autonomy, subnational micronational, separatist, sovereignty, indigenous, earth itself, Fourth World. Ideological movements, implicitly or explicitly promote the right to secede-individual, community or regional-include libertarians, anarchists, anti-authoritarian, decentralist, return, cantonal, green, bio, "small is beautiful", communalists , survivalists, anti-war radical or futuristic. Although the latter may promote different social or economic goals, their commitment to individual freedom is equally strong.
In the United States after the 2004 elections, millions of non-Republicans seriously considered the possibility of secession as an alternative to being subject four years, to religious fundamentalists, supporters of the war, who were more interested in the expansion of Israel and the coming of Jesus Christ to protect Americans from nuclear destruction! By then, the progressive Democrats in states or counties spoke seriously of secession as an alternative. Obviously, if [instead of Barack Obama] Hillary Clinton had been elected in 2008, would have been the states and / or counties that Republicans secession would have liked!
As we move into the 21st century, the desire for individual freedom is greater than ever. We have developed computers and technology to ensure that, "despite the great national states have begun a new arms race that will take us, accidentally or intentionally, to an almost inevitable nuclear war.
is time to recognize that the great "experiment" of the past 500 years, the national state, or nation-state, has failed. It is time for new experiments, based on past experience both as new ideas and technologies. It is time to identify our principles and strategies and to initiate active educational campaigns and support the world population in their quest for freedom, peace and true justice.

SECESSION.NET PRINCIPLES
PRIMACY OF THE RIGHT TO SECESSION
The first political right of every individual and every political community must be to secede from any larger political entity, whether or not they were born there, whether or not they were forced to join it. If someone refuses or waives that right, is little more than a slave-and no agreement to become a slave may be legally or morally binding.
The secession of individuals or communities do not necessarily mean war and violence. It should be a natural and evolving political entity. Communities can form networks or confederations, since both accepted in principle the right to secession. However, should not form "federations", once they, by definition, do not support secession. Then suggest practical methods and non-violent secession, and suggest some types of networks and federations that could replace the oppressive nation states.
COMMUNITY BASED CIVIL :
In the name of nationalism, religion, ideology, tradition or the "common good", the world's governments suppress individual freedom and control individuals over their own communities. The groupof of interest and corporate elites, state, bureaucratic and military taxing, regulating, abuse, hit, prosecute, imprison and execute citizens into submission. Discriminate, steal and commit genocide, or are bent on ethnic cleansing against racial, ethnic, religious and regional oppressed. Without government help, these elites would have little real power over individuals and communities.
The concept of individual freedom is simple: each individual is free to do as it pleases while no harm others through force or fraud. This is the basic ethical principle or the "golden rule" of all religions, and has been corrupted by centuries of theology, rituals and worship of political authority. Individual consent, and not the "social contract" or some other construct a nationalist, racial, religious, tribal or ideological is only legitimate basis for any social, economic and political. However, to achieve freedom, not enough to support the idea and value of individual liberty. We must support institutional structures that prevent public and private entities to destroy individual freedom.
Throughout history, most individuals have chosen to live in community with others, whether in private or communal lands, as owners or renters. Large national and multinational states formed from military conquests de comunidades, tribus o naciones más pequeñas. Hoy en día, los individuos tienen poco control sobre sus comunidades locales, la mayoría de las cuales se han convertido en meras unidades administrativas de naciones-estado mayores, lejanas u opresivas. El gobierno y la confiscación de las tierras comunales o privadas han enturbiado la base territorial de muchas comunidades.
En los últimos 50 años los más grandes y fuertes estados nacionales han construido organizaciones supranacionales, como la ONU, la OTAN, el Fondo Monetario Internacional, el Banco Mundial y la Organización Mundial de Comercio; eso, para asegurarse de que los grupos y élites dominantes, corporativas, estatales, burocráticas o military can concentrate even more control. The so-called "corporate globalization" is really the globalization of government at the service of political and corporate elites (most of them in the "First World").
Many, especially in the U.S., think in terms of "the right of states" to secede, but also oppose the secession of smaller political units within each state. However, Secession.net promotes "community-based secession", assuming that smaller entities such as communities, villages, small towns or neighborhoods within large cities, shall be and shall be the basic political units, after individual.
The left map shows hundreds, thousands of independent communities, united or confederated network as an alternative in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. However, communities can be, or not geographical. Geographical communities include communities of rest and leisure, "parks" industrial or commercial, counties formed by farms and small communities, shopping centers, nature reserves or mixed communities. Non-geographical communities would communities formed by people with common interests, and communities could be industrial, professional, commercial, service, charitable, cultural, ethnic, racial, political, etc., and have members from all over the continent or the world. It would even be possible that geographical community members were not only members of various non-geographical communities at once, but would come to them to solve most of their affairs.
Communities should be free to join or separate any network or federation of regional, continental or world which have joined because of their interests. Communities can federate causes linguistic, ethnic or racial, but these confederations should recognize the right of the subcommunities that are to maintain their autonomy. And the communities themselves must recognize the right of its members or geographical sections to separate and become independent, or join other communities. Only the right to secede actually guarantees autonomy.
Many are concerned that corporations can crush those communities. But without a central government, without limited liability, without privileges, utilities, and restriction of competition, most of the majors would disappear or be divided into entities much lower, they would not have enough power to control communities. Those seeking the protection of the central government will seek the protection of a ghost.
libertarian political PROCESSES / DECENTRALIZED
Communities can create any economic system, social or cultural choice. However, we believe that to prevent the recreation of the nation state of war, or abuse of individual rights and freedoms, communities should follow five principles, principles that are both libertarians and decentralist:
A Bill of Rights: Everyone can be a victim of prejudice, intolerance, exploitation, suspicion and hysteria by the community as a member. It is therefore necessary to have something in writing to ensure (a) freedom of association and movement within and outside the community, (b) equality of political rights to participate in decision-making or to access related information community, (c) processual rights-the right to fair trial, to counsel, to appeal and not be subjected to interrogation and cruel or unusual punishment.
Law "polycentric" : In recent centuries the laws enacted by legislators (the laws "fiat"), made by and for the elite, restricted civil liberties worldwide. Have superseded the common law or common law, private law and the right of voluntary association that evolved freely and naturally. These laws may be called "polycentric", as they have their origin in various centers of activity or interest. Individuals and communities should choose the legal system to which the subject, should have the choice between different systems to conduct their personal affairs, business, etc., should be able to choose how their lives will be dominated by contractual obligations and to what extent are subject to decisions made democratically. This will be done when choosing the community or the legal system to adhere. Democracy
consensual or supermajority "Democracy" means "people's government"-a phrase that has been interpreted in ways both authoritarian and libertarian. Even proponents of contractual communities facing unexpected situations that require a democratic process of decision making. The decisions made by majorities usually a farce that concealed a dominant minorities and elites, who are the real decision makers and thus increase its control over society. Contracts and consensual democracy are examples of a process-of-decision making based on agreements in which decisions, including those that restrict freedoms are taken only until all parties agree. Decision making based on super majority means the decision will be made only if at least 2 / 3, 3 / 4 or even 9 / 10 of the parties involved agree. These procedures contribute to harmony in the community, as members propose or adopt rules or policies that have overwhelming support among the community.
Direct Democracy: Democracy representative, even in very small groups, often leads to the domination of elites and interest groups. Direct democracy means that only the votes of individuals can approve or reject laws, rules or regulations as well as taxes, fees or contributions. The growth of the Internet encourages people to vote from home, office, library, etc. Direct democracy also discourages the elites try to impose laws or taxes that benefit, since only a small number of voters willing to vote for them, and would also have to be approved by super majority. However, the voters themselves could choose, appoint or hire managers and managers, although their ability to develop policies would be strictly limited. Terms
perishable : Sometimes we rush to create rules and regulations for extraordinary or emergency situations. Therefore it is necessary to include a clause allowing a minority of members (between 15 and 25%) vote to override these rules after a few months. In fact, all the rules and rates should have clauses "perishable" and expire one day, unless voters extend its validity explicitly. There should also be, explicitly, something like "easy exit clauses" which give individuals dissatisfied - Unhappy with the policies or rules adopted by the super-majorities sufficient time to arrange their affairs and leave the community.
NO VIOLENT CIVIL AND INSTITUTIONS
The largest national states of the world is sustained through threats and military violence against those who are perceived as secessionist. Democratic welfare states keep their citizens happy by providing access to unsustainable social welfare programs while they are powerful armies with nuclear weapons. Dictatorships dispense with the social assistance programs, sacrificing its citizens, while concentrating on making their armies. Only the abolition of large national or multinational states and their armies continue to prevent these destructive regional wars and possible nuclear war, accidental or intentional.
Nonviolence is the idea that any belief or purpose of ethnic, religious, ideological, social or economic excuse to use violence against others by states or individuals. The philosophy and practice of nonviolence also extend to interpersonal conflict resolution, group or community, as well as penalties legales, el mantenimiento del orden público y la defensa.
El propósito de la acción no violenta es quitarle legitimidad al gobierno y otras autoridades, en lugar de arrebatarles el poder –secesión de facto. La no violencia da legitimidad moral a los activistas ante la opinion pública –en especial si las autoridades responden con violencia a sus protestas abierta y sinceramente no violentas. Incluso se puede ganar la simpatía de miembros de las clases gobernantes si se usan acciones no violentas. Es más probable que los policías y soldados se pongan del lado de los activistas si escuchan argumentos políticos firmes y ven demostraciones de no violencia, que si temen ser atacados por los manifestantes.
Political violence destroys the rapport achieved in the public eye and makes people join elite police and protesters, hence the government infiltrate the demonstrations with "agents provocateurs." The violent action is practiced, usually by angry young men, many with military training and become violent against other dissidents in the same way they do against the oppressor. When violent revolutionaries come to power, their regimes are usually as violent as the revolutions that brought them there.
Similarly, we reject violence as a means of resolving regulate conflicts or public or private affairs. Personal violence, the public, government and the military are closely connected. Over time it has been shown in many places it is possible to resolve conflicts within and between communities, enforce contracts, regulations and laws, maintain order, maintain peace and defend, all non-violent . A commitment to nonviolence fosters tolerance between people, regardless of their ethnic, racial, religious, ideological or otherwise. We extend this commitment to all places and all times if we want humanity to survive and prosper.
SECESSION.NET GOALS
legitimize the secession of small political entities : While the UN and human rights organizations pretending to support the autonomy movements and free self-determination, we give practical and moral arguments for the right of individuals, large and small communities and sub-national groups to seek independence.
promote non-violent political views, libertarian and decentralized : Visions to replace centralized institutions, authoritarian, political and economic, and offer non-violent strategies to achieve peace, freedom, justice and real prosperity. Influence
existing secessionist movements: There are many groups who want to replace big government, centralized and authoritarian, for two or more children. Only a worldwide movement that promotes the radical goals of freedom for individuals and communities can justify the libertarian aspirations of hundreds of national and regional groups that are oppressed.
Promote new secessionist movements: Millions of people are ready to support alternative and radical decentralization and secessionist strategies and only require a firmer philosophical basis and a little push para comenzar a organizar sus propios movimientos.
Una red que conecte a estos movimientos para coordinar estrategias y tácticas no violentas.
ESTRATEGIAS DE SECESSION.NET
Enfatizar el derecho a la secesión : Esto, a fin de no ser paralizados mediante promesas “reformistas” de descentralizar el poder. Los movimientos que defienden algo menos que el derecho a la secesión pacífica –por ejemplo, la descentralización “de arriba hacia abajo” o la “devolución”- son fácilmente ignorados y cooptados.
Promover tolerance: For men and women of any race, religion, culture, economic status, sexual orientation, who have been oppressed find a common goal and a common bond of trust. The long-estranged groups seeking separate and segregated into homogeneous communities must show mutual tolerance and tolerance towards members of their groups who have the right to live in integrated communities in their region. This will help us be in solidarity as we are liberated from powerful and entrenched elites who have managed to overcome their differences in their quest for dominion over humanity.
Working within the current system : Promoting alternatives decentralist and secession through education, advocacy, secessionist initiatives, referendum and the amendments to the constitution, influencing political parties and throwing radical candidates. Cordial relations with those in power and his followers divided elites give us more support and help to minimize the damage that may harm secessionist actions in the future.
Use various strategies and tactics of nonviolent action for the system to lose followers : The elites, interest groups and people with government jobs, or who receive their financial aid are usually many more than those who do not even bother to vote. Therefore, we must work to remove supporters of the system using a variety of nonviolent strategies, nonviolent protest and persuasion, non-economic, political and social, non-violent civil disobedience and direct action, the creation of community institutions in parallel; Proclamations of secession coordinated, albeit for only a day or a week, until sufficient communities have joined in any region or country to make the right to secede in a de facto right. Our organizations must be separated from the street violence, and any terrorist elements, to convinced of the superiority of nonviolent tactics.
Networking and confederations alternate : Something to replace the United States of America. Something like
Confederated Communities of American
Respect the rights of non-secessionist : We must reassure the public and let them know that communities and new confederations will be created only by voluntary partnerships, and not seize the property or be forced to do anything to those who disagree with us. We must also ensure the non-secessionist those who want to keep their citizens to obey the laws and pay taxes in the nation state, are free to do so, even if most of your neighbors decide to separate. Preparing for
alternative scenarios: There are three scenarios: scenarios "gradual" or "reformers", with relatively slow changes; scenarios "crisis", with continuing economic crisis, political and military scenarios and "catastrophic", with economic and political chaos and / or regional wars massive or even nuclear wars. ----
