About This Quote
The way I see it, anarchists can advocate freedom on Earth without bowing to a heavenly tyrant. In fact, the only thing the chief anarchists have been known to bow down to is all of their fellow anarchists combined. But this is a good thing. As long as they feel free to express themselves and work toward a better world, then they are doing a good job of advocating freedom on Earth.
The only time that people should bow down to a heavenly tyrant is when they do not believe in freedom on Earth. If you believe that people should be controlled by an earthly tyrant, then you should also bow down to said earthly tyrant.
