That ' s not enough of a reason to not use it even if we assume what you ' re implying a low likelihood of success because fascists gonna fascist is true which it isn ' t . If it was , we wouldn ' t have the United States , Haiti , Mexico , or any number of countries that successfully used political violence against an oppressor and won the right to be their own country . Sure , one could argue the minutiae of that until they ' re blue in the face , but nothing would change the fact that a lot of countries exist because they successfully used political violence , so you can ' t argue that that ' s a hurdle that ' s insurmountable . And as disheartening as it sounds , this might be something we ' ll have to take into serious consideration despite the fact that I don ' t really want a violent revolution either bigots gonna bigot , after all . I heard of that book a long time ago and have been meaning to pick it up . Thanks for the link .
