    This isn’t really true. Most successful revolutions in the last hundred years have been largely non-violent. I mean look at the dissolution of the USSR, for instance. Or Hungary recently, although how much of a revolution that is is sort of up in the air. Or Spain. I think the numbers are something like once 3% of the population is in the streets you’re donezo.

    I mean, also, like, India was directly and very much this.

    That isn’t to cast aspersions on violent revolution, but it’s more of a narrative than reality, at least now.
