They carry a headline tonight about whether or not assassins really change the course of history. This is a rather quodlibetic, postured question to ask, but the obvious answer is of course, depending on the right moment, the pivotalness of the historic juncture, the significance of the person targeted, and how society reacts. Any change, large or small, trivial, important or momentous will alter the course of history in some way, discernible or not.
What I envision is a very well educated, individuating, logical, non-distractable body of anarchist supercitizens that are united and clear on the program that they are forcing their leader politicians to implement. They require not strong leaders, exceptional leaders, or even very industrious leaders.
The premier quality that the political leaders must display and practice is obedience to the popular will and its expressed mandate. Not much else matters.
A population of maverized, supercitizens will know how to reform society from the bottom up, and will not be decoyed, forced to deviate or misdirected by sleazy, lying, manipulative politicians out to screw the people, and gain control of their liberty and independence through ever expanding government interference in private lives and affairs.
Where the people are alert, in charge from the bottom up, the the absence of a strong leader at the helm, and even if the leader should be assassinated, it will not make much difference, for the followers rule the roost, know where they and society and going, and will not be steered off course by panic, crisis or demagoguery.
In light of this coming political status in our country, under a constitutional republic, killing our leader or leaders will not much alter the planned course of history, as the replacement leader is ordered to stay the course.
