Is a nonviolent revolution possible?

[King Jae]

Naw....ppl only understand death not logic in those instances....if I ask u for something and u say no..nothing changes and I wasted breath...whereas if I was to kidnap ur mama then ask u....u would say yes...violence forced a resolution.....asking for change don't work...how long we been asking

Revolution will be possible via cyber warfare in the future
We already seeing the seeds of such a possibility with #ados and different online movements now.
In order to take violence out of the equation we just need society and technology to develop to an extent that the leading class can not function without access to the matrix
Once that dependency is established a revolution will be possible right from our keyboards

 

[I Really Mean It]

If every ados member got on code and said #noblackagendanovote

we would accomplish more in 10 years than we have in the past 100

and not a drop of blood would be spilled

If the black community withdrew its support of the Democratic party, there would definitely be blood.

the threat of violence can cause revolution sometimes

 

[InGodWeTrust]

It's either money or violence.

people are too dumb to accept what is in their best interest*

 

[Lord-Yosh]

No. It's going to happen eventually

There's been a few in history

• Ghandi's nonviolent protest against British rule in 1930, known as the Salt March, which led to India's independence
• The Revolutions of 1989, which led to the downfall of several communist governments
• The Iranian revolution in 1979
• The "People Power" Revolution in the Philippines in 1986
• The peaceful revolution in West Germany, which led to the demolition of the Berlin Wall
• The Orange Revolution in Ukraine in 2004

But when it comes to black folk, we're gonna have to use force. We've tried talking...shyt didn't work.

Of course, via finance & politics.

 

[SNG]

Not for black folks. In order to get some respect around here we gotta show we are about that action and not against ourselves.

 

[Vandelay]

In the US...no...crackers be mass shooting people because they can't get laid...imagine if the government made a major change.

 

[Swahili P'Bitek]

A violent uprising is at times a necessary evil in a revolution, but a revolution is a marathon, not a sprint. A true revolution starts after the victors have gained the instruments of power, hence it is should be viewed as a continuous process. It is however difficult to get power without a threat of violence, or in a tyrranical rule, full blown violence. But a peaceful revolution is possible, its only that the phase of violent rebellion is romanticised so much that the youth end up thinking that this is what a revolution is all about. A real revolution begins after power has changed hands, cause if things stay the same/become worse, then what was the point?

 

[Doobie Doo]

It's very possible. the THREAT of violence has to be there tho

 

[Rawtid]

Most certainly. Within our individual families first, then branch out from there, but the quieter we move, the better.
