See this book as soon as you can:
'How Nonviolence Protects the State' by Peter Gelderloos (Signalfire Press, 2005 $8US/$10CAN

They actually give permission to pirate the book in the beginning. I wish i had the means to reproduce a few copies. I may actually type the thing out. I dunno. However the Wooden Shoe bookstore in Philly, just north of South St., carries it; that's where I picked it up.
