Anything but violent revolution is a silly idea in a country under the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie..
What’s your defense against an ultra militarized police force who has drones?
12 ga shotguns and bird shot. Wrist rocket slingshots. Guerilla tactics.
What's your plan to make the people with all the wealth and power give up without forcing you into a violent confrontation anyway, in the incredibly unlikely event you overcome their propaganda power and get a majority to vote for stripping their wealth and power?
Before or after mass incarcerations of political prisoners? You’re not going to use Guerulla tactics to change the hearts and minds of the liberals across the country. Other counties have taken steps to prevent unregulated exploitation. They’re not perfect but it’s a step in the right direction.
I'm not particularly worried about the sequence. And I'm not convinced that most Liberals are all that gung ho about it, most just follow the cultural defaults. That can be changed inside a generation. And the US already has mass incarceration of political prisoners, so the overall per capita prison population would probably go down regardless.
And those countries required major revolutions to get to that point
Which countries are you thinking of? Be specific.
Just admit you are scared to die. It's okay. We all are. And a lot of us would. But we do it anyway so our children don't have to.
The fact that they live locally, in regular housing instead of a secured base? The fact that their entire motor pool is kept in one place with no air cover and there is a handy three digit number that summons them to any location? The fact that drones are cheap, and one commie tech specialist could crank them out of any garage from basic parts?
In fact, think about quadcopter drones for a second. Who does their existence pose a bigger problem for: a shifting mass of dissidents who can blend in with the crowd and have no obvious high value targets, or a paramilitary force with fixed locations, vulnerable equipment stockpiles and known, uniformed personnel travelling alone in marked vehicles?
