Secession

Secession (derived from the Latin term secessio) is the withdrawal of a group from a larger entity, especially a political entity (a country), but also any organization, union or military alliance. Threats of secession can also be a strategy for achieving more limited goals.

Secession theory

Theories of secession relate to a fundamental question of political philosophy: the basis of the state's authority.

In his 1991 book Secession: The Morality of Political Divorce From Fort Sumter to Lithuania and Quebec, philosophy professor Allen Buchanan outlined limited rights to secession under certain circumstances, mostly related to oppression by people of other ethnic or racial groups, and especially those previously conquered by other peoples.

In the fall of 1994 the Journal of Libertarian Studies published Robert W. McGee's article "Secession Reconsidered". He writes from a libertarian perspective, but holds that secession is justified only if secessionists can create a viable, if minimal, state on contiguous territory.

Wounded Veins

by: Society 1

I will die
So will you
When we go
I will choose
Now it's time
To make you pay
End it all
In just one day
Hold out your wrists for me
It is your fantasy
Bleed out your pains
From your wounded veins
I was born
So were you
Through the womb
To the tomb
Now it's time
To make you pay
End it all
In just one day
Hold out your wrists for me
It is your fantasy
Bleed out your pains
From your wounded veins
No one gets past me today
Their is no other way
No one gets past me today
Make a line to be saved
Now maybe you'll see
Connection to death is me
Now maybe you'll see
Connection to death is me
Hold out your wrists for me
It is your fantasy
Bleed out your pains
