A big protest that is violently suppressed, leading to bigger outrage and mass protesting all over the country...

YOU get off your ass and into the street, and protest, riot and post pics and random footage to the internet from the barricades for the world to see.

The state of emergency is declared but protests are beyond critical mass

The media reporting cops, national guard and soldiers crossing over to side with the protesters, first singlew ones, then whole platoons, armoured cars..

Mutiny in the armed forces, naval vessels and forts choosing sides and siding with the people..

The chain of command finds ityself opposed by the majority of its armed forces and new elections are called.

Occupy Wall Street was perhaps the biggest protest in recent history. What came of it? Absolutely nothing...

If you have a protest,
the minute demands are unclear and or contradictory
it is an absolutely worthless, waste of time protest.

Which is why a leader needs to be appointed. He has to be smart and aware of the demands.

I agree.
A figure head must represent waves of unsatisfied people.
They must speak clearly, concisely, and have few points
which are made over and over.

The minute the Leader disappears then you have Anarchy
the stupidest form of humanity!

Free healthcare that isn't actually free and while nominally designed to aid a small minority it fucked a ridiculously large amount of people with higher costs, lower quality care, increased deductibles, lost policies, different doctors and a heaping spoonful of lies from the Messiah.




Fixed that for you.

To understand how the world works, people must understand Communism vs. Zionism. The OWS website shows clearly the clenched fist, which is a Communist symbol. OWS is controlled opposition.

The most radical idea of them all: How many of you are registered to VOTE ?




I can't believe you were the only person to mention that. If you don't like your government vote in a different one. Run for office yourself. Revolutions are for 3rd world shitholes not democracies. The day after revolution America would become a 3rd world shithole, and since I live in Canada and our economy depends on yours, we too would become a third world shithole too.
Before talking about revolution how about talking seriously about a third party? None of the other civilised nations have a 2 party system. I think the system needs repair not destruction.
And anyway you overthrow government and what then? Anarchy? I don't feel living under some warlord or militia rule. You want a revolution, but then what? I don't see very many post revolution scenarios that are better than life now.

Thats because this was a thread about overthrowing the government, not about changing its policies.

lack of clear demands wasn't the failings of occupy--it was an unwillingness on the part of most to take a militant approach--pacifism only got them so far, and then when the camps got raids people chose to go home--have a leader wouldn't have changed this, unless she managed to get everyone riled up and willing to fight--which i don't think most of the folks participating in occupy were really willing to do

Why does living a life without a leader scare you so?

"I heartily accept the motto, "That government is best which governs least"; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe — "That government is best which governs not at all"; and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have."

:franklinpuppet:  Its hilarious that people in this thread think that voting is gonna do anything.  Democrat/Republican are 2 sides of the same show.  Its almost like professional wrestling, it just makes people feel like they're not enslaved. 
The U.S. wont change unless there is a huge grass roots movement ousting the current "2-party" system.  If the American people went out and everybody voted strictly independent ticket it may send a message, but ultimately I think it would be trivial.  The powers that be would lobby and bribe newly elected officials into the same horseshit that is happening now.
