This summer when there is an Occupy or 99% demonstration in your country, do you want young men in helmets and masks carrying baseball bats and molotov cocktails to take charge of it?

They sit there at the Maidan with a 24 hour diet of patriotic songs and exhortations to valor and courage. If you wanted to set up a camp to train suicide bombers, this is exactly the kind of propaganda barrage that you would use. These people are brainwashed zombies and they are trying to use YOU to infect everyone else in preparation for the REAL zombie apocalypse.&lt;p&gt;This is no joke. Just say no to mindless propaganda and learn to THINK FOR YOURSELF. It wouldn&amp;#x27;t hurt to read some history and learn how much can be achieved by tireless negotiation and compromise to build a common ground and a political party. The Hitler style of party building never ends well.</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>balladeer</author><text>Honestly memracom, you come across as someone who has never seen it, or worse still, never known it or even tried. What&amp;#x27;s more shocking is your comment is on the top.&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; Nothing good comes from the kind of violence that these idiots in Kyiv have started.&lt;p&gt;Pick any revolution and you&amp;#x27;ll know how any good came out of it. This is the last resort and this is the only way.&lt;p&gt;You know why this is the only way? Because the dictators or the tyrants didn&amp;#x27;t grab the power as a result of some misunderstanding. It was well planned for years and then executed with precision. Later, once they had it, they made sure, for decades, that the power stays with them and it goes further and further from the people. Now, I have no love for communism, I consider this best for romantic intellectualism on paper but the worst policy in real life. It&amp;#x27;s not even about that. It&amp;#x27;s not even anarchy. It&amp;#x27;s like fighting for your life, you hit with what you got, and what you can.&lt;p&gt;So no, dialogue is not going to work. They know they are corrupt, they know they are tyrants, they know they are evil. What are you gonna negotiate with them? All they want is to remain in power (unchecked) and that is exactly what you don&amp;#x27;t want. Where does that leave you?</text></comment>

This summer when there is an Occupy or 99% demonstration in your country, do you want young men in helmets and mass carrying baseball bats and molotov cocktails to take charge of it? Will you carry a pistol with you at the demonstration to shoot police officers?&lt;p&gt;Depends: Will the police by the time the next big Occupy protests start already have shot people without reason? Tortured others to make them give up? Well, then I may consider these things if I still have the bravery to be part of such a protest.</text></comment>
