Not all revolutions are completely violent, but to have it not be violent then we need some insiders to make progress, and that seems very unlikely. Maybe the best case scenario is for the tyrants to placate the masses again like FDR. I'm not an advocate of that type of lesser two evils thinking though.

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." - Thomas Jefferson

Before any revolution will take place we have to unite the liberals with the socialist and all those between. This aspect of our society makes up the largest voting block that relatively can agree on the basic laws of society towards installing any real sense of a true democracy. That's approximately 3/4 of the voting population. This will either force the government to revert to another type of new deal like FDR's time, or force the ruling class to impose their power over government as they'll want to refuse to relinquish parts of their fortunes. I assure you either way will not be pretty. They may allow an economic collapse happen in a first measure to attempt to quell the movement, which we may already be witnessing now. Last resort would be military in the streets.

Vice has a new program on you might find quite interesting. I watched the first 2 episodes last night. Check out America's Modern Militias first. Gianna Toboni explores the new generation of modern militias, the tactics and ideologies that define them, & the likelihood of them going to war with the government. She spends time
in a training program with the Boogaloo and interviews one of their members.

I suggest caution with Vice News. While they do a lot of good work, they also have rabbit hole type atmosphere.

What a good article. The question really is how a revolution will play out. Can it be guided so as not to involve militias fighting or home guard or military assaulting populace. I think that that is what is desperately needed.
