Post had nothing to do with murder or violence. It is clear who reddit serves.

    We’re allowed to discuss all forms of revolution, so long as they are ineffective.

    So if you want to know how to stage a successful revolution, consider what you’re not allowed to say as the starting point. And take a look at how the CIA overthrows governments- it ain’t peaceful.

      also, look at all the americans the FBI has gone after hardest. except the ones they were obviously paid to silence.

      it’s not all violence. it will all draw violence.

      The number of peaceful revolutions we can unfortunately count on one hand. We can strive for to -but we have to be realistic

      However there also has to be a plan. Simply overthrowing the existing rule allows chaos & someone worse to assume power

        The old rule has already been overthrown. By Trump, far right white Christian nationalists, and silicon valley. Unfortunately, it’s being replaced with something way worse.

          yea, like what is currently happening is a “non-violent” coup. They used anger, mass disinformation and propaganda.

          I am not sure I agree that the old rule was replaced. Before, the oligarchs ruled from the shadows by controlling political campaign finances and lobbyists. But now, the oligarchs are so powerful they are ruling directly. The country is still heading in the same direction (relentless growth of power disparity between the rich and power) just at a quicker pace.

          FDR was the last US president that fought for the working class. Every President since Reagan has overseen policies that have weakened the working class and transfered power to the rich. Republicans were far more aggressive about it, but liberals still did it at a slower rate.
