Though many statements Thoreau has made seem a little flakey around the edges, when it came to free will and individual choice he had the right idea and the courage to see it through. The importance of centralizing power within oneself is perhaps more important today than ever when unrestrained government in partnership with multinational corporations weild enormous destructive power.

This is an eloquent argument for quietly refusing to acknowledge the legitimacy of corrupt governments. It doesn't advocate violent revolution, merely that men of conscience act according to that conscience in their daily lives.

Thoreau's views on the relationship between the individual and the state and what exactly, if any, allegiance the one owes the other. Thoreau's argument hinges on the idea of the government operating solely on an utilitarian point of view ignoring the voice of the minority.
