Whew! In general I agree...but some comments.
l. Too late for rational solution, yes. What I am concerned about is a
bunch of irrational hotheads fomented by "agents provocateurs" kicking off a
self defeating fight against the State. Let events unfold naturally.
2. the situation is now the individual vs the State. and is being carried
by events
We are essentially observers.to the tide of future history.
3. However some recent revolutions have been very much a small group
sparking the masses. Many years ago I was digging around in the Hoover
Institution Tower and found a bundle of papers relating to the Sun Yat Sen
revolution in China (1912) All the ingredients for a fomented revolution:
names of Wall Street bankers, agreements for concessions, Chinese request for
funds, even lists of arms shipped, expenditures neatly itemized,above all the
names of people involved Chinese and American These were not intellectuals
they were entrepreneurs who wanted mineral and railroad concessions. the
papers show a business arrangement rather than anything else. .
Second the Bolshevik Revolution was a small group Lenin, Trostsky with maybe
10,000 followers....and with outside funds.. Same with Hitler, outside help.
In fact Putzi Haenfstengl, Roosevelt's college friend, was right at the
core of the Nazi movement.
4. There has to be a mass movement for revolution but up to now it has been
influenced rather than controled by "leaders" and by outside influences,
usually funding.
Today I suggest the mass participatory Internet has become a leader along
with a more (semi-) "educated" audience. This still leaves intellectual
leaders essentially sitting on the sidelines as hypnotized observers..
This revolution in some ways is more like the 1933 Nazi revolution ( and I
wonder about Waco and similarity to the Reichstag fire)... A docile general
population, outside funding ( cocaine billions), jackbooted thugs. On the
other side the Internet and a somewhat more alert educated citizenry. What
are the techies in Silicon Valley going to do? These are quite different
people to the 1933 German burgers. It may not pan out the same way.as it
has before One hacker may be more significant than an M ll tank. This is
more of a "mind revolution" than physical revolution.
