The Velvet Revolution of Central Europe of 1989

11.20.04 (2:24 am) [edit]

"The revolution was Velvet because it stemmed
from the beliefs of the common man. It was a
cultural groundswell. Too often, revolutions are
about power and attempting to grab control of the
enforcement structure. They result in less
liberty for the populace, as the new regime feeds
on the dying carcass of the old establishment. If
a revolution is to create more freedom, it must
be derived from general popular consent and have
as its goal simply to reject the prevailing
sovereigns rather than to capture command, much
like the American Revolution and Velvet
Revolution were. Only then will there be the
necessary cultural institutions present for
liberty to thrive. Such an outcome is more
secession than revolution. Otherwise, the result
will be simply bloodshed and more tyranny as the
French Revolution and Bolshevik Revolution
showed. Libertarians dreaming of revolution ought
to take note." [My emphasis]

Very nicely stated.

All fools dreaming of bloody revolution should
take note, not just Libertoonians.

If you don't play the game by The Rules of Power
you've got a good shot at winning. That's what I've
been talking about here for so long. And take another
look at Ghandi.
