What's the breaking point?

[alonso ramoran]

You said, "... it deserves to be violently torn down to its foundation and entirely restructured with love and care for one another."  I'm afraid that those willing to engage in violent tearing down will not have love and care on their minds.

The lind of restructuring you're calling for will be as violent as the tearing down.

Angela Davis, George Jackson, Huey Newton, Malcolm X, Assata Shakur, Tupac, Bobby Seale, Bobby Hutton, etc these were/are people without an iota of love in their hearts for the people? Or were the US's Founding Fathers the only people capable of engaging in violent revolution while simultaneously holding love and care in their minds, whatever that was to them? Maybe you don't think so and they were just as hateful as any other revolutionary. Ok. How do things change? Over time and passively, while politicians and pundits repeat to us that things are getting better? The Earth is dying as the first world continues to rape and plunder the third. Nothing short of violent revolution against the capitalist class can save it. There will be a period of even more acute suffering, but it won't be forever and at least the masses will have their soul back in that fight, whereas before their entire lives revolved around capital. Change is painful. Confronting traumas (such as the apocalyptic event of colonialism) is painful, otherwise what would we be confronting?
