About NoKings

Exploring the timeless principle that no one should hold absolute power over others

Our Mission

NoKings.pro exists to explore, document, and promote understanding of the profound concept that has shaped human civilization for millennia: the rejection of absolute power and the pursuit of self-governance. We believe that the principle of "No Kings" represents one of humanity's most important philosophical and political achievements.

We aim to foster dialogue, inspire action, and contribute to the ongoing global conversation about freedom, democracy, and human dignity.

This includes not only resistance to traditional forms of authoritarianism but also vigilance against new concentrations of power in technology, economics, and social structures.

Core Values

  • Popular sovereignty and democratic participation
  • Individual autonomy and human dignity
  • Equality under the law

Why This Matters Today

In our current global context, the principles of "No Kings" are more relevant than ever. We face new forms of concentrated power that our ancestors could hardly have imagined: technological monopolies that control information flow, economic inequality that undermines democratic participation, and authoritarian resurgence that threatens hard-won freedoms.

Contemporary Challenges

  • • Corporate concentration and monopolistic practices
  • • Digital surveillance and privacy erosion
  • • Authoritarian resurgence worldwide
  • • Economic inequality and plutocratic influence
  • • Climate change requiring collective action without authoritarianism

Understanding the "No Kings" principle helps us recognize these challenges and develop responses that preserve human freedom while addressing collective problems. It provides both a warning against new forms of tyranny and guidance toward more democratic, participatory alternatives.

A Global Perspective

One of our key insights is that the rejection of absolute power is not merely a Western concept but a universal human aspiration that has emerged independently across different cultures and historical periods. From the American and French Revolutions to the Korean prophetic tradition of Chŏng Kam nok, from ancient Greek philosophy to modern decentralized technologies, the desire for self-governance transcends cultural boundaries.

This cross-cultural understanding enriches our comprehension of democratic ideals and provides a broader foundation for contemporary movements seeking to challenge concentrated power and promote equality. It demonstrates that "No Kings" represents a fundamental aspect of human political consciousness.

Universal Principles

Whether expressed through Western democratic theory, Eastern prophetic traditions, or contemporary technological innovations, the core message remains consistent: power should serve people, not dominate them.
