      This sounds cool, but I don’t think it’s actually true. For example: most of our drug laws are unjust, but I don’t think it’s moral to disobey them. It’s not immoral either. Morality just doesn’t play a part.

      It is moral to disobey them when they force an action that is immoral.

      The only problem is the years of indoctrination which stand behind such laws. Laws may not be factual or even morally right, but it doesnt disqualify them - and that’s by design.

      The ruling class are basically puppeteers, moulding the public into a shape they seem as “appropriate”. The result is the proletariat attacking its own people just because the “law says so, therefore it must be right”.
