OK, if you need it spelled out for you - you asked for it. :)
"The basis of our government being the opinion of the people, the very first
object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether
we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a
government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter."
--- Thomas Jefferson
Concise enough for you? You may also want to investigate the relative
importance of communications and armaments in Ghandi's struggle for a free
India, the US civil rights movement, and the collapse of the Soviet Union.
That's 3 examples of change mediated by communications without rifles. Then
there's Darfur - an example of rifles without communications infrastructure.
Oh, and as Bryan said... 'PLONK'.
