Cruel reality did not bring what he wanted for a perfect government. Practical, concerned with making decisions and actions that are useful in practice rather than theory. Thoreau does not object to the law in general, but to those who make individuals incapable of acting with a good conscience – for example, the law of slavery. Just because we are the people of a certain society does not mean that we have to agree with the laws that society imposes on us, especially if those laws are considered unfair.
It is important to understand that Thoreau is not anti-government. He is for the ‘improvement’ of the government. In addition to passing the law from the general public perspective, the government should practice altruism as the best thing for the majority of the population of the country. Thoreau thinks the government in his perceptions is often immoral, without altruism, and self-righteous.
Thoreau in particular contempt for violent behavior, believing that any dispute can be resolved normally through peaceful negotiation. ‘Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison,’ (732). Those who obey the tax laws to support the State in war are unfair. Thoreau supports each individual in improving himself and the society in general. In reality, the government often exists to preserve social order, as well as moral punishment for offenders. This organization succeeded in punishing slaves as well as Thoreau himself. He went to jail in a protest of the cause of abolishing the Mexican war by not paying taxes to the state.

The speaking for the liberation of all individuals whether bound by real or political chains. Indeed, the centralization of Communist-controlled civic organizations has transformed the collective potential of the population into the capacity for political power, transforming the forums of the will of the human person. people into government meetings. In addition, the ban on the activities of non-governmental organizations and groups has virtually eliminated civilian space in almost all countries.
Government is based on people’s vote. Local government is defined as a legal entity recognized by the Constitution and the law for the purpose of administering an area within a country. The State guarantees and promotes the people’s mastery: respect, protect and safeguard human rights, citizenship. The government has fulfill the goal of a prosperous people, a strong country, a democracy, fairness, civilization, everyone has a good life, freedom well-being, conditional development. As long as the government helps slavery, Thoreau said: one, “cannot without disgrace be associated with it. I cannot for an instant recognize that political organization as my government which is the slave’s government also.” (726) The author expanded his argument to include the citizen’s duty of necessary law-breaking.
Thoreau introduced the revolutionary right, which everyone recognizes, and reflects on the American Revolution. He developed the image of the government as a poorly functioning machine, urging rebellion. The rivals of the reform, he realized, are not politicians far away but ordinary people will be those who cooperate with the system. Expression of slavery is meaningless. Just act – what you do to protest slavery will solve the problem. False will only be corrected by the individual, not through the government mechanism. In recent years, with the help of the internet, online political discussion forums and secret social networking groups have really created the space needed for freedom of expression. treat. These are the hallmarks of civil society. Moreover, the importance of civil society in the democratization movement is of particular interest to many activists, especially young people.
Communist intellectuals gradually realized their role in promoting the formation and development of civil society. Overseas intellectuals also find new vitality and hope for the democracy movement through the prospect of civil society. Several opposing groups have been formed and have initially shown their potential, despite many repressions from the authorities. The conditions for a successful civil space are not as easy as we think. An entity is itself acting upon itself without excessive intervention from the outside. The prestige and moral authority of civic organizations, therefore, is entirely dependent on the ability to maintain balance and autonomy. With the loss of this proper independence, civil society has not only fallen into the status quo, reduced in efficiency, into ‘anti-democratic’ entities, acting as agents for power.
The state, is the puppet of economic entities; It also excludes itself from social life because it is ‘dissolved’ into two other activities (political and economic). We do not praise the importance of civil society, it naturally possesses the qualities to shoulder the burden of the current democratic movement. This civil space is capable of laying the foundation for democracy, depending on the perception and skill of civilian and partisan activists. Civil society can not forever be a cover for political activity, it is not right. It should be noted that while civil society’s work program is closely related to political issues, civil society itself is never the same as a political party.
Thought, the clear distinction between civil society and political parties will be an important growth step of the democracy movement. Without this step, civil society will have to go a long way to assert itself. At present, within the dictatorship of the dictatorship, all activities of democracy activists are ‘underground’; They all carry a common name of ‘activist’ without a clear distinction between party activists and civil society actors. But in the long run, this lack of clarity will affect the progress and solidity of civil society, leaving the corollary of democracy building. The presence of party members in civil society organizations, as well as in the name of civil society for party action, in the worst case, will facilitate political elitism. or dominate the civil society in the future. And that is not a desirable future for the whole country in general and for every citizen in particular.
Thoreau’s ideal ideas and pragmatic ideas have broader access to political and social impact than most people understand. Although Thoreau asserts that a man has other tasks, higher than the abolition of the wrong institution, at least he is not guilty by adherence. Individuals are not supported by the government structure, must act in principle, must break the law if necessary. When government is unjust, people refuse to follow the law. Civil disobedience is a call for limited government. By not paying taxes on the support of a government with unethical behavior. It will never be a truly free and enlightened country, until the state recognizes each individual as a higher and independent power. Although nongovernment may constitute ‘perfect and glorious state,’ Thoreau realized that this was not the right time to do it.
