    So the path forward is killing people? Because that’s what revolution entails. Once the killings start they tend to be indiscriminate and less about idealism than consolidating power. There’s a long history of revolution, and I can’t think of a single one that didn’t go off the rails and devolve into insanity. What makes this revolution you’re dreaming about different?

      Revolution is the only way to meaningfully change whichever class is in power. It does not need to be violent, it can take on any number of forms.

        Can you give an example of when a revolution wasn’t violent? Just one. Ever. In the history of humanity?
