Your impatience has killed 100 million people in history. History has shown such revolutionary impatience is responsible for the rise of Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Castro, Franco, and countless other dictators.

For many youths of today, such impatience is fun. For example, if you are frustrated with homework, you burn all your homework and start again. Or if you're frustrated with life, you take drugs (its a revolution, right?).



Impatient people say "It won't work, lets BLOW IT UP and do it all over again!". This leads to wars, famine, and of course, 100 million deaths. How many people did impatient Stalin kill with his Revolution? How many people were brutally murdered and raped by the Russian Communists? In fact the Revolutionary Russians went as far as stripping the skin off the hands of former Imperial soldiers, in their frenzy of "Communist Revolution".


We can't prevent emotions from boiling. Mr Hobo Who Refuses To Work might torture his employer, rape a capitalist family, and loot all the stores while in his revolutionary rage.


Revolution is great if you want to kill people - otherwise it isn't the best way to do change.


Ideological loyalty is the act of giving your soul to a vague concept, to be manipulated by people smarter than you.
