    So you’re saying Americans should those up against the two party system. So, a revolution. Overthrow the system. Which means killing each other. And oddly, every violent revolution ever has ended up with a more authoritarian result.

    So your plan to reduce the killing in Palestine is… More killing in the US followed by a US regime that would help Israel finish the job faster?

      No I want a civil war. If Putin-supported Trump divide the country and take power, well, remember you guys did it to russia in the 90ies. Tough shit. Shouldn’t have been an evil empire.

      Historically, revolution has resulted in more democratization and less “authoritarianism.” From the brutal Tsarist Regime in Russia, to the fascist slaver Batista regime in Cuba, to the nationalist Kuomintang regime in China, revolution reduced inequality and gave more power to the people compared to their absolute squalor before.
