(French: Discours de la servitude volontaire) is a most famous work attributed to Étienne de La Boétie by Montaigne and published clandestinely in 1577.
To him, the great mystery of politics was obedience to rulers. Why in the world do people agree to be looted and otherwise oppressed by government overlords? It is not just fear, Boetie explains in “The Discourse on Voluntary Servitude,” for our consent is required...
And that consent can be non-violently withdrawn.
This servitude which Etienne de la Boetie explains is accomplished by a series of three factors in the "Discourse on voluntary servitude" (1574-6)

a) custom or acclimatisation

b) reverence for religious or sacred rites which sustain or tower over tyranny

C) proliferation of fear.
