Let’s not hold that thought. The universe is filled with the possibility of new beginnings.

A peaceful political revolution; I agree.

Looking pretty unlikely Marianne. Capitalism has a shelf-life and we're rapidly approaching it's end... if a peaceful revolution does not happen soon, a violent one will, and will end in either socialism or fascism.

A violent revolution in this country would definitely end with fascism.

The nonviolent way also seems to lead exclusively to fascism 😔

That’s historically inaccurate. The non-violent Indian independence movement ended with the British leaving India, and the civil rights movement ended with civil rights legislation dismantling segregation and passing the Voting Rights Act.

The civil rights movement never ended. And that is one of the problems ... and the Voting Rights Act was dismantled. The violence is all around in the MIC, prison/slavery industry, discrimination, wealth inequality, homelessness, poverty wages-it’s just not touching you.

The Voting Rights Act was chipped away at but not dismantled. And you’re absolutely right about everything else you said, but the question remains how to deal it.

First and foremost we need to acknowledge and broadcast that electoral politics is not going to solve the problem. The system is corrupted by corporate power & big money. A revolution of systemic structure is necessary... or the quiet violence in all myriad ways will continue.
