Pao Ching-yen
Pao Ching-yen was a Chinese, Taoist, libertarian philosopher who lived somewhere between the late 200's AD and before 400 AD.
A successor of Laozi and Zhuang Zhou in the politically and socially-oriented strain of libertarian Taoism, Pao Ching-yen was, according to Etienne Balazs, "China’s first political anarchist." He extended the arguments in the Zhuangzi to deeply critique State authority and power, writing that "the kings, the oppressors, exploiters of all kinds, are as guilty as the criminals who have emerged from the masses..."
