Think of revolution as a true revolution, a movement or a battle that simply ends where it begins with a change of figureheads; those who seek to gain the power from those who lost. Also know that the extreme violence of a Revolution made a sacrosanct document which guides us to this day (US Constitution). Rebellion and resistance to power have historically been more productive at real change in the mentality of a culture. We can rebel and resist in our every day lives, and the only thing hurt is other people’s feelings. Shit…I have a life long poem “from Revolution” and it isn’t titled “Toward Revolution” for a reason. Read Albert Camus’ “The Rebel” as that’s where it began for me in small town rural Amerikkka in the early 80s when the first “Make America Great Again” campaign happened with Ronnie Ray-gun. Also to note “America First” was a KKK slogan in the 1920s and 1930s. Talk about a revolution of rhetoric! Samo samo.
