A Random Passage

Kind of interesting: "The anarchist sensibility made its first appearance amongst the Taoists of ancient China." Peter Marshall, Demanding the Impossible: A History of Anarchism.

I've spent a fair amount of time studying the other major religions, especially those of the Far East: Buddhism, Zen, a little Jainism, Hinduism, and Taoism. Without a doubt, the most joy-full of the Eastern religions is Taoism.

"In the beginning was the Tao, and the Tao was with God, and the Tao was God." John Wu

A connection?

Undoubtedly. The joyful person doesn't want to coerce anyone, and neither do Taoists or anarchists.
