RE: The Candlelight Revolution in Korea of 2016

in #politics7 years ago (edited)

a revolution based not on guns but a candlelight vigil.

A victory won not by rising up but by sitting down.

A leader overthrown not through the activism of speeches and fiery words, but by the pacifism of gesture,the peaceful yet firm demonstration of the will of the people.

Contrast this with the 2010 G20 Toronto summit protests where the Black bloc protesters, part of an Anti-globalization movement, led a rebellion consisting of a series of rallies and demonstrations leading to rioting, arson and vandalism of property.

But here, in Seoul Korea, was a true victory and a tangible demonstration of the will of the people-- not the work of an unruly minority.

You are well justified in feeling proud, @slowwalker
