46. The amount of violence involved in a revolution depends SOLELY....
on how vigorously the ones with the current power try to hold on to that power.
The Tennessee socialist is straining to ignore the history of leftist, statist, collectivist revolutions.
How many Frenchmen were murdered by the revolutionaries in the "The Reign of Terror" at the end of the French Revolution?
How many Soviets were murdered by the revolutionaries in Stalin's purges?
How many Chinese were murdered by the revolutionaries at the end of Mao's "Glorious Revolution"?
How many Cubans were murdered by Castro's revolutionaries?
How many South Vietnamese teachers, policemen, businessmen, and farmers were murdered by Ho Chi Minh's revolutionaries?
Leftist, statist, collectivist revolutionaries love to murder weak, unarmed people; they are easy targets.
Compare that to the greatest historical example of a real revolution "of the people". How many Americans were murdered by the government after Cornwall surrendered at Yorktown?
Now, let's infuse a little light and truth into the Tennessee socialist's propoganda:
But how long do you think that the capitalists collectivist socialists will allow you to "opt out"? At some point they will make "opting out" illegal, one way or another. Do you really think that the PTBs Authoritarian State will allow most of the population to "opt out" without consequence? Personally, I would bet on them NOT allowing it when it comes to the point of interfering with their profits ideology of control.
