    Oh, you’re talking about knocking on the door of the Whitehouse and politely asking for control of the state. I see.

    I'm saying that you advocate and push for peaceful revolution. I'm not saying that's the thing that actually happens.

    And even if violence does happen, you have to present a vision of peace and shared prosperity to work for once you come through the other side of it. Does that make sense?

      Sounds like a good way to give people a false hope and have them undertake all the wrong strategies and get crushed by the state. You take power, no ones gonna give it to you, that should be a given. Thinking otherwise will leave you entirely unprepared and doing all the wrong things to get there.

      I guess. That's not really advocating for peaceful revolution though, just peaceful post-revolution. You need to use violence though, so pushing for a peaceful revolution will get a lot of people confused about the use of violence that will inevitably occur in the pursuit of peace.
