      Violence is a sometimes (even often) unavoidable byproduct of revolution, not an essential characteristic. Don’t confuse the two.

      You know, now that a good portion of people are on Lemmy, it just might be the perfect place to start organizing, whatever you feel that may be…

        Okay, when a government has completely collapsed, after the total collapse of the larger global leading entity; a peaceful revolution that results in something completely new, should be the top option.

        But I don’t think we have that much time

            In my personal (very, very amateur) opinion; less than 10 years, where things keep running as “normal”

            Humanity is awesome at adapting so I think it’ll be a very long time before things become impossible to deal with, but there is going to be a lot of transition and disruption over the next 20+ years

              Sounds like history as usual then.

              The thing I’m most worried about would be nuclear weapons, but I’m pretty sure the aliens are preventing that from happening.

              Personally I’m most worried about starting a family.

      And how the heck do we know that it have any reasonable chance of working out well and that it won’t be brutally suppressed or co-opted by reactionaries? And how would anyone even organize such a thing? ~Strawberry

        We don’t have any idea if it will work out or if it’ll be snuffed out.

        However, the lack of purposeful revolution will result in an aimless one, carried on not with thought and intent, but instead as a reaction to the immseration of the world’s people as we bake in and are flooded from our homes and cities.

        The only option is to try as the current hegemony will not solve the problems we face for the problems are a direct result of their desired politics in action.

        As for organizing one, that’s way too long of a conversation to occur here.

          So we have no idea if it’s even remotely a good idea or if it’s likely to leave us in a similar position to before or worse, or how to do it? Great plan. ~Strawberry
