- There's a section on desertion and monuments to it in James Scott's Two Cheers for Anarchism
As a young man, I thought I was an anarchist. As you grow older, you drop such beliefs as stupid and naïve, but recently I’ve felt this naivety and stupidity is fundamentally correct: states are evil, abstractions like ‘nation’ are not really worth dying or killing over, and that the world would be a better place if the soldiers on both sides just shot their own generals and leaders. I want to say, "To hell with the whole lot of them".
