I'm totally down with insurrection in the street. I've had a great time with that over the years. Insurrection in the voting booth is the other part of the equation.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've been in revolt for years against ignominy, against injustice, against inequality, against immorality, against the exploitation of human beings.
Insurrection is an art, and like all arts has its own laws.
When the government violates the people's rights, insurrection is, for the people and for each portion of the people, the most sacred of the rights and the most indispensible of duties.
A rebellion is not a revolution. It may ultimately lead to that end.
I'm becoming more and more apolitical - I think the most revolutionary thing you can do is just live your life and have a good time. Before they scoop you up on the street or you die.
No thieves, no traitors, no interventionists! This time the revolution is for real!
Few revolutions succeed, and when they do, you often discover they did not gain what you hoped for, and you condemn yourself to perpetual fear, as the parties you defeated may always regain power and work for your ruin.
The more I see of democracy the more I dislike it. It just brings everything down to the mere vulgar level of wages and prices, electric light and water closets, and nothing else.
Oppression that is clearly inexorable and invincible does not give rise to revolt but to submission.
Revolutionaries do not make revolutions. The revolutionaries are those who know when power is lying in the street and then they can pick it up.
