Description Discourse on Voluntary Servitude - Discours sur la servitude volontaire Full English Translation By tienne de La Bo tie Rendered into English by Harry Kurz Published as Anti-Dictator La Bo tie's essay against dictators makes stirring reading.
A clear analysis of how tyrants get power and maintain it, its simple assumption is that real power always lies in the hands of the people and that they can free themselves from a despot by an act of will unaccompanied by any gesture of violence.
The astounding fact about this tract is that in 1948 it will be four hundred years old.
One would seek hard to find any writing of current times that strips the sham from dictators more vigorously.
Better than many modern political thinkers, its author not only reveals the contemptible nature of dictatorships, but he goes on to show, as is aptly stated by the exiled Borgese that all servitude is voluntary and the slave is more despicable than the tyrant is hateful.
No outraged cry from the past or present points the moral more clearly that Rome was worthy of her Nero, and by inference, Europe of her present little strutters and the agony in which they have engulfed their world.
So appropriate to our day is this courageous essay that one's amazement is aroused by the fact that a youth of eighteen really wrote it four centuries ago, with such far-sighted wisdom that his words can resound today as an ever-echoing demand for what is still dearest to mankind.
