    Surely you understand that through violence the most violent people will rise to power Thats what happened in russia that became the ussr, china that became the ccp…

    Do you want the most violent in power?

      two bad examples. The populations of Russia and China were certainly better off after violent revolution. And of course, things got violent in 1776.

        Objectively untrue for china from every perspective and is only briefly kinda true for russia; as serfs were freed but after Stalins takeover as the lands were took back and people were legally required to work

        And the 1776 revolution would be not comparable in any way for the violence OP called for as the upper class led that revolution!

          So you think that revolutions are only acceptable when the rich do it? The industrialization of Russia and China were probably the largest movement of impoverished people to relative stability in human history.
