Also, by nature revolutions rid certain elements of their power, they'll fight back, be suppressed by the new regime, become martyrs to the new resistance movement, which will then require further suppression including the limiting of free speech and increased powers to security services, which rids the new regime of its legitimacy, cuts it off from decent sources of dissent to correct its course and creates a new elite in tyrannical control. I cannot see the alternative to this.
Revolution is a lazy excuse for radicals to avoid thinking. Or doing anything.
I don't like revolutions.
