How to carry out a revolution
- jamesbritt 16y agoThis is a remarkable article. Quite informative. The CANVAS organisers are amazingly shrewd as well as brave. One thing that really struck me was the focus on planning and gradual development. The idea that you can't just try to rally an angry populace, but you must slowly build up the idea that resistance is feasible. And the reliance on a history of non-violence so that if and when things get nasty the cops or army will have already seen that the protesters are non-violent, making it harder to justify shooting them.
