I’m all for revolution at the ballot box to put honest and hard working people in office to root out corruption.
And I’m for review and improvement of checks and balances and increased transparency.
But the system itself isn’t broke and doesn’t need overthrowing. Just tweaking.
And it’s incumbent on anyone calling for revolution to say what they would do different.
The main problems in our democracy that I see, is that our people are not educated and don’t discern between candidates on the basis of policies and character. And that our media is owned and biased and does not provide good information to our people.
And uneducated public is going to elect bad actors no matter what system you have.
I agree with what you have written here. Revolution is called for only after all these Constitutional remedies have failed, but both are not mutually exclusive. We can not simply choose one or the other.
Revolutions against a sitting government are a bloody business; and in the end are successful when the police and military that defend the tyranny refuse to obey orders to massacre their own people with superior armament. It also took an organized and coordinated effort by the Continental Army led by Washington with ordinance equal to the British to win.
Important as both political and hit and run guerilla tactics were to success of the American Revolution it was the Continental Army that accepted Cornwallis surrender at Yorktown. Revolutions are begun by individual citizens with their personal arms but the greatest weapon they have is a willingness to shed their own blood for a reason larger than themselves. Although we may not have yet reached this point, vigilance, and preparation is advised.
Today we face the threat of the Red Storm Troops we call Antifa taking control of the streets, burning our businesses, and continuing intimidation raids into our own neighborhoods. These are S.O.P. Marxist tactics to neutralize the police and local governments, then in the final stages to occupy ratio/TV stations, government offices and utilities. This effort will go on after the election and should be resisted community by community.
The web site for CPUSA (Communist Party U.S.A.)is reminding its members to prepare for the aftermath of the election regardless of outcome. Their plan is to raise the level of violence where we live and move to the next stage. Please check this out for yourselves.
While continuing every Constitutional and political freedom open to us; we are wise to prepare to defend our homes, our neighborhoods and our communities against the revolution being waged against us NOW by our bitter Marxist enemies.
Their plan to destabilize and overtake America has never changed: Top Down-(government), Bottom-up-(the streets Antifa), Inside-Out-(You and I)).
