“Erica Chenoweth and Maria Stephen examined a hundred years of violent and nonviolent resistant movements in their book “Why Civil Resistance Works”. They concluded that nonviolent movements succeeded twice as often as violent uprisings. Violent movements work, they noted, primarily in civil wars or ending foreign occupations. Non-violent movements appeal to those within the power structure, especially the police and civil servants who are cognizant of the corruption and decadence of the power elite and are willing in the end to abandon them. And we only need 1-5% of the population actively working for the overthrow of this system, let me use that word “overthrow” again for the homeland security people in the room.” ~Chris Hedges https://youtube/watch?v=uAo7ky1kq-Q
