The only antidote to a violent revolution at this point is that we wage a peaceful one against the corporatist politics that produced so much dysfunction to begin with.

The we could just like, do a violent revolution. Since everything to do with political power is already violent. And because every successful social movement has came with violence.

You鈥檙e leaving out the two biggest revolutions of the 20th century: the Indian Independence movement that cast out of their country the colonial power of Great Britain, and the civil rights movement in the United States in the 1960s

This isn't meant as snark, but how exactly do you wage peaceful revolution against a violent, unrepentant system? What would that look like?

I think people need to know what a peaceful Revolution would look like. Sure vote. But what else. Do we mass boycott the corporations. We do need strong leaders in this. Lots of them. And a coordinated plan.

How about we just can politics all together? Huh? Why do we even need this shitty popularity contest? It鈥檚 stupid and antiquated. We need a system like jury duty with 2 year term limits. Officials will be selected randomly and their finances will be transparent during service.
