I consider such a bullet to be an act of self-defense in a manner that a ballot could never be. A bullet can be narrowly aimed at a deserving target; a ballot attacks innocent third parties who must endure the consequences of the politician I have assisted into a position of power over their lives. Whoever puts a man into a position of unjust power - that is, a position of political power - must share responsibility for every right he violates thereafter. The question then shifted: If there had been no other strategies possible, would you have voted against Hitler? This postulated a fantasy world which canceled out one of the basic realities of existence: the constant presence of alternatives. In essence, the question became, If the fabric of reality were rewoven into a different pattern, would you still take the same moral stand? Since my morals are derived from my views about reality, it was not possible for me to answer this question. But my first response was to wonder what I would have been doing for the months and years that led to the momentous dilemma of whether to scratch an X beside Adolfs name. Or did I have no alternatives then either? voluntaryist/articles/085b.html#.VDm2IO29LCQ
