RE: Why I fight to change the world
Great post - non violence has to be the way - we must dissent and try to stop the militarisation of our society. We must try to stop the military industrial complex as a means to control populations. The UK and US are guilty of war crimes with weapons of mass destruction and wars of aggression on a grand scale and we must continue to resist the nutters who are controlling corporations and politicians. Peace
We simply must. Sitting back and watching is not an option. We can no longer sit idly by and watch as these criminals go unpunished. We can no longer let them slide through the grasp of the justice system while petty criminals serve life sentences. A new form of government must be created that is fair and equal because the current system is not.
Thanks @knight-angel for your input. May peace be with you friend.
sadly think our governments would turn their war machine on us without a second thought if their positions where treatened. While I whole heartedly agree that non violonce has to be the way I think the chances of us getting any new form of government without violence is remote.
Violence just creates more violence, there are legitimate and peaceful ways to achieve change. War not the answer to the problems we face in the 21st Century. Actions like withholding tax that goes toward funding weapons programs, if enough people act then the powers that be must respond, they can't use violence if the movement for change is big enough
If we keep being scared of our Government then change will never happen. The people I've quoted in this post, most of them died by the hand of the Government and they knew they would, and yet they pushed for change anyway. We can't sit back. Not when people are being killed, starved, beaten, and raped in our countries names.
