[quote=Section 8,]As you said the problem with electing members to congress is that they will be forced to reform unless there is a large number of socialists in power. The problem with education is that you need to start young. I'm of course not saying that you need to brainwash kids, that would be like the capitalists. They need to have a fair and balanced education. They need a teacher to teach to them about Socialism and let them make their own decision. After the education step is completed you have three main options: A. Mass strike; peaceful protest. B. Armed Revolution. C. A mix between the two.[/QUOTE

8, not so much socialists, but ANYONE independent from the single party which runs this country. The Republicrats own this country and they keep their power by lying to the sheep and whoring themselves to big money. Each party has about half of the pie and since half is better than, say, a third, both sides will be damned if they give any up.
as for A (strike/protest). It's a good idea but you need a majority of people for that, but that wont happen because it might make a lot of them miss this week's "Friends" or "NYPD Blue" episode.
B (armed revolt) is right out. It's ancient thinking and won't work. First of all, who here owns a gun, and knows how to use it well? Secondly, if our military obeys it's leaders, who among us thinks your old hunting rifle will be a match for a modern missile which can practically ring your doorbell before blowing your house up? And finally, if history is any teacher, any sufficiently motivated group who wins an armed revolution seems destined to be as bad or worse than the previous regime. And C? Forget it! Who the hell in his right mind could possibly support peaceful protest AND armed conflict at the same time??
I agree that education and the enablement of free thought is the start and that is with the children. Unfortunately, I believe the sheep have most of the children and they wouldn't touch a forum like this with a ten-foot pole, assuming they could find it on the web in the first place.

How the hell did this get on the "do not call list" thread? Sorry, but I was compelled to respond to Section 8.
