RE: Why I fight to change the world
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.
