A reading from Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s "The Gulag Archipelago" illustrates the consequences of failing to resist a tyrannical state. The passage reflects on how the Soviet NKVD's mass arrests could have been halted if citizens had ambushed security operatives in their hallways with makeshift weapons. The quote is used to warn Americans against passive compliance with modern "contact tracing" and "checkpoints."
