: We make REVOLUTION and throw the rich bums out. Check out the Utopian Anarchist Party at www.overthrow.com
The sentiment is sweet and I'm sure its proponents are nice people (these are the Yippies I'm reading about, right?) but there's a nagging question: how do you know a revolution won't bring about something even worse than what exists now?
Example: Pro-capitalist President Richard Nixon carpet-bombs Cambodia, kills innumerable people, resulting in anti-capitalist revolution. Revolutionary result: Pol Pot, 2 1/2 million dead, Cambodia still in chaos.
