What kind of "revolution" ??

In your heart, you know we need some type of revolution to stop the fascism that has our country by the throat and is threatening the lives of most Americans. But what type of "revolution"? Our country with our military establishments and national guards would never allow any type of violent revolution in this country, in my opinion. If people attempted to resort to violence, the government would crack down on them in a New York second. It is doubtful they would permit peaceful marches if they felt it threatened certain establishments.

So, what kind of revolution? It would need to be one of education and enlightenment, in my opinion. We need to change people's minds first. So long as people are ignorant, the doors for change will remain closed. I think the Internet and sites such as DU are part of the new "revolution" and we need to look at it in that perspective. Your efforts are not in vain if you only reach one person at a time. Education and knowledge is what the fascists most fear. Those are our weapons.
