So, You Don't Think the People Will March

If you don't believe the people will march, perhaps there is any time in history you can show me in which people did not eventually march to take down an oppressive state.  The French and the Bolshevik Revolutions are two of the most spectacular examples of it but history is full of governments being overturned by the people.

The march may be more subtle and Stalin was mystified and astonished as to why the British did not shoot Gandhi.  Stalin did not understand Russians were shooting him and a standard for the time was Russians saying, "They pretend to pay us and we pretend to work."

At the same time, Stalin was murdering people by millions, those who remained were oppressed and never stopped undermining him.  As a result Soviet Russia was known as one of the most oppressive in the world but even that changed as eventually came Gorbachev and, with him, Perestroika.


America is doing the same thing now as it has already undermined most of the unions for the workers and the ones remaining are run by corporate lapdogs.  The Republican Party thought it was clever to break the unions but it broke the back of America at the same time.  Ever since it has kept them in line by scaring them but that won't last.  It never has before in history and it won't last now.

The unions were crushed for the sake of the billionaires and not for any benefit to anyone else in the country.  There was no trickle down and there was no taxation.  It was a blackhearted rape and any idea the people will sit still for it indefinitely is nothing but fantasy because there is not any time in history which supports that belief.


The people will march.  I have seen it before.  Fox News can insult our intelligence and Hillary Clinton can insult our values but the people will not put up with it eventually and there is nothing which will stop it once it starts.  Once the mob takes over, it will start lighting fires.  I've seen that before too.

Some of you may not remember Watts.  I do.

I've seen American cities burning in the night, not one but many.  There were many Americans who saw it too.  This is not science fiction.


You have the power to make it stop without shedding your blood to do it.  I know you're willing but all you have to do is turn out to vote.  A high voter turnout never serves the Establishment well because they are and always have been the minority.  The rich always were, yes?

Republicans won't bring any sense, they never have.  You have to bring it and no-one else can do it for you.
