Is revolution the only way we can elicit change?

37. Yes, and violent revolution at that.

I read about it here, but I'm not part of it.

But to answer your question and to put it in the vernacular of those who see it the way they do, the only thing non-violent revolution will do is put people in office who the 1% can buy off. And that's even if they're able to do that, which I have no evidence there's enough of them to date. By staying non-violent, they're automatically sending a message they aren't willing to pick up a weapon and die for what they believe. There's no reason to respect someone who isn't willing to die. I read other sites and there's a whole bunch of their opposition just itching for them to make a move so they can shoot their ass. My guess is many here have read the same things and don't want to go down that road because they suspect they'd lose. I suspect they're right.

The USA became what it is today because a bunch of people were willing to die for freedom. Anything less is just talk.
