    Nobody is advocating for that, though. Revolution is very rarely that bloody, you need to look at historical example.

      I was hoping that my ad absurdum example was clear. I just meant “a very large number.”

      Either way, I certainly hope nobody is seriously advocating for that. It would be quite bleak if that were the only way change could ever occur.

        Revolutionaries can’t just “do a revolution,” we prepare for it so we can succeed when it happens. This is how revolution has occured historically, and there isn’t really a way to avoid it with any reasonable chance of success.
