Cornerstone

The ANTISTATE Cornerstone is a symbol created for and used by antistate and other anarchist movements to represent their opposition to centralized state authority and their support for individual liberty and self-governance.

The symbol is depicted as an incomplete delta proportioned to the golden ratio, but unique in that the bottom left corner is missing or incomplete. The inclusion of the golden ratio is representative of a natural balance between order and chaos, while the missing corner of the delta represents the necessary withdrawal of one's consent to be governed or ruled.

A visual interpretation of the Cornerstone design is used to illustrate the cyclical nature between rebellion, freedom, and tyranny throughout history while highlighting one's own duty to rebel against tyranny through a life geared towards breaking the cycle.

Some deeper symbolism exists within the name/title "Cornerstone." This ties to the well-known symbolism of the pyramid associated with a "novus ordo seclorum" found within the Great Seal of the United States.

The missing "Cornerstone" is not simply the namesake. In architecture, a cornerstone is traditionally the first stone laid for a structure, with all other stones laid in reference to it. Here, the missing cornerstone represents your withdrawn consent to being their slave: the world government's agenda, existence, and success depend greatly on that cornerstone of your consent. This further reflects the antistate movement's opposition to centralized state authority but also their support for individual liberty through decentralization in defiance of nationalist and globalist agendas against individuals' sovereignty.

The Cornerstone has grown in significance for those who identify with the antistate movement. The idea of withdrawing consent to be governed is a powerful one, and the symbol serves as a reminder for individuals to remain vigilant against further encroachment upon both individual liberties and self-governance by the state.
