How you need those bourgeios!

You really think they want it? Russia might collapse backwards into it, but I would'nt hold your breath for the rest of the world.

: One hundred unarmed people versus one dude with a machine gun ALTERS simple numerical strength. It is MORE THAN POSSIBLE that majorities can face OVERWHELMING FORCE held by minorities. That only makes the struggle more pronounced, more vigorous when it does occur.

All very sound - but youre relying on that theoretical model to explain why millions of Americans are going to the ball game rather than risk revolution. Do you really think all these things Americans are gettng up are displacement activities borne from the stress of latent revolutionary zeal?
