Termyn8or -> RE: When Change Is Not Enough: The Seven Steps To Revolution (2/25/2008 11:46:25 AM)

Not a bad article.
Something similar has been discussed before, I do not remember the author's name, but the concept remains. That one simply dwelt upon the difference between rich and poor. It said that when the disparity reached a certain level, revolutions have occurred.
With that author's prediction, we should have had the revolution years ago. But there are other factors. It is true though, that real leaders must exist for such an undertaking, and those leaders must be disenfrancised from the system they would seek to overthrow.
In that sense the US "leadership" has succeeded. They have modified the educational system to be more a system of indoctrination, with civic values taught that favor the powers that be. Their system produces very few leaders, and those that it does are dependent upon the status quo, and therefore unlikely to lead a rebellion.
Another thing we have now that was not extant in the past is the enormous and vast power of the current regime. Using the past to guage the future is a good tyhing, but one must realize something. The government endevors to, and is close to being able to subjugate 300,000,000 people. With technology and advanced weapons, and no compunctions whatsoever against using it on their own constituents, we are not in really good shape.
And when people are so brainwashed that they turn their guns in to the authorities, nothing is going to happen soon. I believe that we have reached a point where an effective revolution would be impossible.
Witness the unexplainable extra carnage at the Murrah building and the twin towers. Any sane Man can plainly see that such buildings are built with explosive devices. These serve two purposes. They ease demolition when the time comes and facilitate a controlled implosion almost. Secondly, if they can't have it, nobody else can either. That is their attitude.
In other words, when those specialized demolition companies go in and set their charges, their explosives are only detonating the explosives installed by the builder. If that were not true, the procedure would probably scatter debris for miles. Think about it.
That's not all, an armed revolt is not likely to happen anytime soon because people need to get to blockbuster and the doctor's office, in that order I might add.
In order for an armed revolt to be moral and lawful, there has to be support of the people. If one Man were to acquire the technology somehow to take over and become dictator, that is no more moral than allowing the status quo to continue. Of course I would think differently if I were that dictator. Bush said something similar in a speech did he not ?
I am a revolutionary, as some may have figured out, but we can't do it. We are at a time in history when they can and will kill each and every one of us. And in a society that considers having a credit card freedom, we will not have the support. So don't look for anything to happen soon.
Rather, watch the system crumble on it's own. It will. Consider The Turner Diaries. If you refuse to read it because it is morally reprehensible to you, I pity you because you will not learn. If you can only read that with which you agree, your sphere of knoweldge will be quite limited. The acts depicted in the Turner Diaries would not be possible without alot of corruption on the part of the powers that be.
Got to go for now.
