You can give peace a chance, I’ll cover you in case it doesn’t work out. If the ‘revolution’ is accomplished without violence, not only will it be shocking it will also be historic. Power has never acceded without a demand, just like Frederick Douglass said. If you think the oligarchs do not know this, plan for this, and use this you are naive beyond words. Why do you think heads get kicked in with no reprisals? Why do you think politicians lie straight out now? Why do you think they do whatever pops into their empty little heads? We take it. When we’re done taking it, it will stop. This concept is not rocket science. The ONLY question left is, are we done taking it? This basic fact is something we don’t want to discuss, but power only understands power. I suggest a new tactic: walk softly and carry a big stick, a la Teddy Roosevelt.
